Iranian Dissidents Criticize Obama’s Nuclear Diplomacy
Washington Free Beacon ^ | March 17, 2015

Claim White House ignoring human rights, working with murderous regime

A group of Iranian dissidents and political prisoners have lashed out at the Obama administration, lambasting its ongoing diplomacy with Iran, according to two open letters sent to the White House in recent days.

In each letter, the dissidents—most of whom are currently political prisoners in Iran—criticize the White House for ignoring the issues of human rights and democracy in Iran as they push to finalize a deal with a regime that the dissidents says is murderous and untrustworthy.

Iranian reformers and those seeking a change in the country’s leadership say they do not view the agreement as representing the plurality of Iranians.

“Any deal in which the real representatives of Iranian people are not present and human rights are ignored, is basically a deal between President Obama and Khamenei’s agents, and Iranian people will not consider it to be legal,” 21 Iranian political prisoners wrote in an open letter to Obama that was translated from Persian for the Washington Free Beacon.

-excerpt-

“When President Obama came into power many did hope that because of his background he would be more compassionate toward the oppressed citizens under the rule of dictators around the world and would help them to liberate themselves,” Ghassiminejad said. “However he has shown that he does not care at all about human rights and democracy. Whether it is Cuba, Iran, or Syria he and his secretary of state are either neutral or on the side of dictators.”

I just hope, the Ayatollah doesn’t ask for Palestinian settlements in New Jersey. I am sure Obama in his quest for a Legacy and Kerry in his quest for a Nobel Peace prize would just sign it over to them,

Obama does not care about the oppressed people in Iran. This is an agreement between a dictator and a would be dictator and the American people and Congress are standing by and letting it happen. The solution, if any will have to come from Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The US government has thrown the Iranian dissidents under the bus long ago.

“This is an agreement between a dictator and a would be dictator and the American people and Congress are standing by and letting it happen.”

One of the dictators is definitely an *Islamic* dictator, heading a *theocracy* — that’s very different to a Secular ‘dictatorship’, in the M.E.

The other ‘dictator’ was elected in a democracy by the People of the country - Twice.

“The solution, if any will have to come from Israel and Saudi Arabia.”

Not Israel. But Saudi Arabia, another Islamic Dictatorship is not the solution to bringing *democracy* to Iran.

“Obama does not care about the oppressed people in Iran.”

Not only Obama, his predecessors, the Iranian regime and most others in the world of politics too. Heck, they don’t even care about their own; that’s just the way it’ll always be. The rest is guff.

It is an agreement between an Islamist Dictator and the 12th Inman wannabe who is doing his best to launch WW3. After watching Obama's daily love fest with the Islamo fascist since the November election can there be any doubt he is pushing the world to nuclear war.

It is beyond me why ANY sane Congressperson with any common sense is not screaming there heads off for impeachment. Obama's game will result in dire consequences to the world as we know it.

For Obama its a twofer...install the world Caliphate and fix globull warming with a nuclear winter.

Indeed, and it shows just how useless Congress has become. Obama has shown that he can do most anything and the response is to hold a hearing or threaten legal action. That is not going to cut it with a power mad Obama. He is going to push everything further and further in his last two years and the US is going to be gravely injured unless Obama is removed from office.

What leads people to believe Obama and this administration care about this...or anything to do with foreign affairs/policy? At best they see it as a distraction.
