Barack Obama’s appalling blunder gives us a nuclear Iran

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.

Yup.

There is an old saying: Once may be an incidence. Twice may be a coincidence. Three times is INTENT.

Obama has harmed the US FAR more than three times...

Obama hates Israel

And he wants Iran to have a nuclear bomb.

Its obvious he wants Iran to be in some political juxtaposition against a nuclear Israel. It places Israel in grave danger and changes the whole paradigm of the middle east.

Israel is then forced to the table for some agreement for their continued physical security and economic survival,

Meanwhile he’s probably out having an ice cream with Warren Buffet or playing a round of golf with John McCain, believing this evil their intentionally aiding and abetting all over the middle east will never come to their doorstep,

This is demonic evil at work here, we battle not against flesh and blood,

I have maintained for years the ‘end of the age’ will come when what was restored by God with Israel in 1948 and 1967 is hindered, encumbered and ultimately divided by some form of false ‘peace agreement’

When they say ‘peace and Security’ sudden destruction ‘cometh upon them all’

Every day it comes closer,

America has become one of the goat nations,

[LegendHasIt]

Yep.

I’ve been saying for at least year that 0bama, in his dreams, sees himself as the 12th Imam, and is trying to unite his Sunni Brothers as ‘foot soldiers’ with a nuclear weaponized Shia to destroy Israel, Europe and the USA to form a Global islamic / maoist Caliphate.

It is NOT CZAR B.O.’s policy. It is the very essence of the Democrap Party. They are the enablers of Goebbels in the White House!
