“”During his father’s 21 year military career he did two tours in Vietnam, two in Saudi Arabia and three in Iran where Strzok attended elementary school at the American School in Tehran prior to the Iranian Revolution””

Father stationed in Iran makes him “from Iran?” You’re stretching things as much as the dems do. Page’s mother came to the US in her early 20’s so that would be legit - probably “born” in Iran would be more factual.

VJ has always been advisor to the 0ne and always will be since who would tie his shoes in the morning? Not only does she live with him she travels with him. Where he goes she goes.

ValJar was clearly Obozo’s handler, friend, advisor, and confidant. They are connected at the hip for life. ValJar’s handler is someone in Iran. Their inside “man” in the WH during the Obozo nightmare.

Nowrouzzadeh and Rhodes are suspect. They should not be allowed anywhere near foreign policy. Deep state liars through and through.

the Obama administration tipped off the Tehran regime.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just another example of why the founders were correct to exclude the children of foreigners from being President with the natural born citizen requirement.

NONE of the popular children of foreign nationals are NATURALLY Americans as they were also born something else.

Aiding and abetting criminals is itself criminal. But Criminal is Obsmas legacy.

Thanks RACPE.
A key JCPA promoter was Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, on the White House National Security Council from 2014 to 2016. Like Hezbollah, she too was “interesting.” Nowrouzzadeh put in time with the National Iranian-American Council, friendly to the Iranian regime. That proved no obstacle to a position in the State Department, which approved Nowrouzzadeh’s anti-Trump articles such as “Trump’s Dangerous Shift on Iran,” in Foreign Affairs.

Nowrouzzadeh’s primary defender was White House NSC staffer Ben Rhodes, profiled by Tom Ricks in a December 28, 2017 Foreign Policy piece headlined, “A stunning profile of Ben Rhodes, the asshole who is the president’s foreign policy guru.” In his elephantine The World As It Is: A Memoir of the Obama White House, Rhodes notes Nowrouzzadeh’s service with “an organization that advocated for diplomacy in Iran.” Rhodes brings Sahar into his office and says “We just can’t let them win,” without citing any opponents and why they rejected the deal.

After Trump’s hit on Soleimani, Nowrouzzadeh stayed on the quiet side...

Tom Rogan of the Washington Examiner wondered “why does anyone listen to Ben Rhodes’s foreign policy opinions?” Thanks to Rhodes and company, “Iran has been able to use new business deals and sanctions relief to export its fanatical revolution.” Rogan recalls that Rhodes also “masterminded Obama’s supplication to Cuba” a move that “strengthened the Communist dictatorship without extracting any significant improvements to its human rights policy.”

The hit on Soleymani drew comparisons to the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi. White House National Security Advisor Susan Rice blamed that attack, which killed four Americans, on an internet video. After Trump’s action last week, Rice told reporters “this administration sadly, tragically, has a record of almost-daily misrepresenting the facts, telling falsehoods about issues big and very small.”

We cannot wage this war in a defensive spirit. As our power and our resources are fully mobilized, we shall carry the attack against the enemy--we shall hit him and hit him again wherever and whenever we can reach him.

We must keep him far from our shores, for we intend to bring this battle to him on his own home grounds.

American armed forces must be used at any place in all the world where it seems advisable to engage the forces of the enemy. In some cases these operations will be defensive, in order to protect key positions. In other cases, these operations will be offensive, in order to strike at the common enemy, with a view to his complete encirclement and eventual total defeat.

Don’t you know how ridiculous that sounds? No one has any proof of what you’re saying so why do you persist?

By the end of the operation, U.S. air and surface units had sunk, or severely damaged, half of Iran's operational fleet.
