If you think the United States just struck a poor nuclear deal with Iran, youre right; but if thats your key takeaway, youre missing the point. Irans nuclear program was last on the list of the Obama administrations priorities in talking to Tehran. The administration readily caved on Irans nukes because it viewed the matter only as a timely pretense for achieving other cherished aims. These were: (1) preventing an Israeli attack on Iran; (2) transforming the United States into a more forgiving, less imposing power; (3) establishing diplomacy as a great American good in itself; (4) making Iran into a great regional power; and (5), ensuring the legacies of the president and secretary of state as men of vision and peace.
The administration has always viewed Israel as an intractable troublemaker and the main catalyst for the regions woes. An Israeli strike on Iran, especially if supported by the United States, would have been yet another display of destabilizing Israeli aggression that put Middle East peace further out of reach. Barack Obama, therefore, repeatedly warned Israel against attacking Iran. Benjamin Netanyahu complied, and for his compliance White House officials taunted him in 2014 as a chickenshit whose window of opportunity had closed. That window is now barred. The Iran deal states that the U.S. will train Iranians to counter any sabotage attempts on its nuclear facilities and systems. This is aimed at frustrating Israeli action.

The Iran negotiations became Obamas magnum opus on the theme of listening. Americans listened to Iranians dictate terms, shoot down offers, insult the United States, and threaten allies. America has been humbled indeed.

What can one say? Americas leaders were once good men.
Neville Chamberlin sure stopped Hitler in his tracks! Too bad Obama is too busy re-writting history to learn something from it!
And yet, everyone has forgotten one major point to all of this.
In 2009, when Iran was ready to experience another revolution away from the Mullahs, instead of supporting a potential rise of a new democracy in the middle east, Obama outright supported the Mullahs.
Obama’s hatred of Israel and pro-Iranian position just didn’t crop up. It’s been in the works for many years.
I am praying for Israel.
Israel refused to make a deal with the Palestinians ,so Obama said I’ll fix you and turned to Iran
Give it a couple of months, you'll see. Then a state visit, either him over there, or some ayatollah over here. Think I'm joking?
Bibi needs to attack them NOW!
Valerie Jarrett...Iranian plant
Follow the Money! Someone in Obama’s circle or friends is getting very rich off of this. Count on it!
My guess is that Israel will hold off until the US Congress fails to disrupt the capitulation process. If they can wait that long, they’ll attack in December 2016 or early 2017.
One thing is very clear to me.
Obama and his useful idiots have guaranteed we need to spend whatever we need to in order to bolster and expand our nuclear deterrent. We need a new bomber, replacements for the Trident SSBN, and Minuteman 3 ICBM. And we need a new warhead that wasn’t designed in the 1980s.
I’m not so confident we will get the funding for it all but that is what we need. And very badly in a much more dangerous world, in order to deter those crazies who now can nuke us we didn’t have before.
Iran Bans U.S. Inspectors from All Nuclear Sites

I just happened to be watching Hannity the other night when he played a side-by-side comparison between Chamberlain’s and Dufus’ statements.
It was striking that whatever Dufus said was very similar to what Chamberlain said over 70 years ago. And look how that turned out.
And America, please...
We're toast. ISIS will soon have a recruiting booth in the Mall of America, Times Square, the Reflecting Pool and probably buy 30 second spots during the Super Bowl. Many more Chattanoogas coming.
Praying for America is a given.
I fear you are not exaggerating. It’s insanity. We appear to have no instinct for self-preservation. Of course, when you’re busy killing babies maybe your country doesn’t deserve to be preserved.
BMW I like your screen name.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
“Give it a couple of months, you’ll see. Then a state visit, either him over there, or some ayatollah over here. Think I’m joking?”
I’m sure Obama wants to, but the “deal” says that only countries that have diplomatic relations with Iran can have members on the inspection teams. If they can keep Americans off the inspection teams by not having diplomatic relations with us it’s might be worth it to them.
Does anyone think this regime actually wants to inspect? Maybe I’m getting cynical.
