That inconsistency is amazing.....Rush Limbaugh spoke about the Republicans wanting sanctions lifted on Iran as bad as Obama and how Senator Corker (Foreign Relations Committee chairman) enabled that with his legislative efforts.
The vote against the Iran nuclear deal was a show by the GOPe to make them look good. They knew they would lose.
Ted Cruz made a speech about ‘show votes’ last week that’s worth watching from the Senate floor.
Getting back to El Rusbo, he made the observation that Iran’s frozen assets of 150 billion dollars that would be freed by sanctions were expected to be spent in part by the Iranians on repairs and new airplanes for their civil aviation fleet.
That would benefit Boeing. Looks like lobbyists for business may have had a big say on Iranian policy from the way Rush discussed it. Rush also noted Airbus, a European company, was also expected to benefit by sanctions being lifted. I read recently they opened up a factory in Mobile, Alabama. Do Alabama GOP politicians know something about that?
Consider this. Obama and GOPe support for the “Free Syrian Army” opposing Assad also puts them in opposition to Iran which backs Assad’s government militarily.
In addition, US military support for Saudi Arabian led efforts to prop up Yemen’s government against Houthi rebels
also works against Iran who backs the Houthis.
And yet at the same time the United States and European powers cut this nuclear weapons enabling deal with Iran.
It boggles the mind. Business lobbying of our political leaders appears to have played a role in the insane decision by our leaders to enable Iran to develop nukes.
Dwight Eisenhower warned about the ‘military industrial complex’ in his farewell speech as POTUS.
Very well put!
I think most people overlook the fact that today’s US Military is being used mainly to protect special interests that are advancing the New World Order agenda.
Our military is actually being used to take down their own country.
President Eisenhower was exactly right.
