Barack Obama’s appalling blunder gives us a nuclear Iran
The Australian ^ | 16th July 2015 | Greg Sheridan

Posted on 07/15/2015 4:13:50 PM PDT by naturalman1975

Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran is a wretched capitulation by a weak President whose word means nothing.

So many American red lines are given up in this deal it makes your head spin. They suffered the same fate as Obama’s red lines with Syria. You use chemical weapons and we’ll react, Obama told the Syrians. But he was only joking. Since then America’s adversaries in the Middle East, and all over the world, have become significantly bolder.

The Iranians completely outmanoeuvred and out-negotiated Obama. But this was not hard because as time went on it became increasingly obvious Obama was desperate for a deal.

The Obama presidency is like the worst aspects of the Rudd and Gillard governments on super steroids. Everything is calculated only for its announcement effect. The photo op, the moment of apparent triumph and adulation from the usual suspects, is all that counts.

Julia Gillard gave us the East Timor solution to boatpeople when no such solution existed. Kevin Rudd declared that we would urgently build the 12 most capable conventional submarines in the world, then did absolutely nothing about it. They were Obama moments writ small. This nuclear deal is the Obama moment writ large.

There surely cannot be a serious analyst anywhere in the world who thinks it will work. I am tempted to compare it with the 1994 agreement Bill Clinton concluded with the North Koreans. But such a comparison would be unfair to Clinton. It was a tougher deal than the Iranians have got, and at least Clinton and his folks believed it might work.

In this deal, the cynicism of Obama is sublime. He can announce victory, perhaps pocket a second Nobel Peace Prize, and leave the world to deal with a nuclear armed Iran down the track.

It is not a blunder. It is what Obama wants. Period.

Not a blunder.

The treason follows Congressional, and specifically GOP, abdication.

At a DC bar in the Obama Caliphate:
"Death to America. Death to Israel. But, we be last."

more delusion or propaganda

O giving the IslamoNazis nuclear ICBM’s
was no ‘blunder’

it was a careful, deliberate, aggressively pursued plan
for the past six years
(including funding them, protecting them with a US military shield coupled with intense ‘political’ action.......and threatening to ‘go to war’ against anybody trying to get rid of them, etc.)

The result is the same, IslamoNazi crazies bent on destroying USA now armed with the weapons needed to do it

but again, it was no mistake or blunder. not by a long shot

The Congress is now merely an advisory council.

Who would have thought that the infamous anthrax letters were early Obama campaign materials. Anthrax (Gr: "coals of fire"), code for Obama.

This Greg Sheridan is another idiot or coward.

Our so-called President is an enemy islamist who shows more of it each day.

Thank God people on this thread understand.

I'm getting so sick of fools who blame all the stuff 0bama does on Ignorance, Incompetence, or Ineptness.

They are using the wrong 'I' Word. The one they should be using is Intent. ( Or the double "I" word: Islamist Infiltrator is also acceptable.)

Hanlon's Razor is inoperative when it comes to 0bama.
