Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Saturday the nuclear deal with world powers did not signal any wider shift in Iran’s relationship with Washington or its policies in the Middle East.

The agreement struck this week was met with celebrations in the streets of Tehran as many Iranians anticipated it would allow the economy, battered by years of sanctions, to stabilize and make their daily lives easier.

But Khamenei, who has the last word on high matters of state and had given his blessing to the nuclear talks, moved to dampen any speculation it would lead to a broader rapprochement with the United States.

“We have repeatedly said we don’t negotiate with the U.S. on regional or international affairs; not even on bilateral issues. There are some exceptions like the nuclear program that we negotiated with the Americans to serve our interests.” …

Khamenei called Obama a liar again. Not that we didn’t know that already, of course; but this highlights the motives of China, Russia and even Germany.

It isn’t incompetence that is at work here, it’s something much darker....

Nuclear deal will not change Iran’s relations with U.S.: supreme leader, but Obama is welcome to have Iran as his New Home

OK. So to sum it up; The United States and the Free World got nothing. Iran got to keep its nuclear arms development program (because that's what it is). Obama got to help his Muslim buddies. And both Kerry and Obama proved once again that they are enemies of America.

That about does it. See you at Armageddon.

In other words, we still hate your guts and will kill all of you as soon as we can get our hands on a nuclear bomb and delivery system . . . but we are grateful to you for giving us a path to acquire these things and fulfilling our ultimate goal of killing you.

And once again, the geniuses in the White House and State Department get their come-uppance from the mullahs.

My questions are these:

(1). Why do you rant ‘Death to America’?

(2). Why do you burn ‘America’s Flag’?

(3). Why are you still holding ‘American Citizens’?

Not only is ‘slob boy in the oval office’ a liar, but so are you...

Does anyone (not in a mental hospital) think Clown Prince nobama and kerry are not traitors?

[HarleyLady27]

What?????

[hal ogen]

Let me clarify: these junior league Bozos are traitors.

I haven’t seen anyone since Reagan that isn’t....

So we give them everything they want and they give us the finger... how predictable.
