Iran hangs Obama in effigy even as it negotiates nuclear deal with US
FOX News ^ | February 25, 2015

Posted on 02/25/2015 4:14:29 PM PST by Jim Robinson

Just weeks before Secretary of State John Kerry held new nuclear talks with Iran’s foreign minister in Geneva, Iranians were hanging Kerry's boss in effigy at a huge Tehran-sponsored rally marking the Islamic Revolution’s 36th anniversary, an event that critics say underscores the absurdity of the ongoing diplomatic effort.

The U.S. and Iran are trying to reach a final nuclear agreement by a March 31 deadline against a backdrop of ongoing anti-American hatred in the Islamic republic. Photos posted by the Middle East Media Research Institute this week show Iranians marching in front of a display depicting President Obama hanging from a gallows and carrying signs of Kerry, portrayed as a devious fox.

Hundreds of thousands of Iranians took part in the Feb. 11 Revolution Day, which commemorates the 1979 overthrow of the U.S.-assisted Shah of Iran. The Iranians, as they have in past, chanted, “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” They also burned and trampled an American flag.

MEMRI said other photos from the rally show Iranians waving posters of Obama looking like Pinocchio.

The U.S. and other superpowers want to stop Iran from developing a nuclear bomb. Iran says its nuclear intentions are peaceful, a claim that experts dismiss.

“The Iranians on the one hand want to get as many concessions as they can from America during the nuclear talks but on the other hand they are not ready to give up their anti-Americanism,” said Ali Alfoneh, a senior fellow with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington.

I don't understand why. For a long time I have thought the Obungler was a Muzzie, and is doing everything in his power to make sure the Iranian's get their nuclear weapons. Did I miss something?

I think I could agree with that. Useful idiots and traitors (and many times the terms are synonymous) are usually the first ones to be lined up against the wall, because the revolutionaries can't trust them either.

And along with blowing up a mock American aircraft carrier, it would APPEAR these talks are over. Team Zero just hasn’t admitted it yet. They want us to THINK an agreement is still in the works so they can BLAME Netanyahu for its failure.
