Obama’s Iran Scheme is Laid Bare
Washington Post ^ | March 13, 2015 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 03/13/2015 2:49:29 PM PDT by lbryce

We surmised yesterday that the Obama administration had the idea to go to the United Nations to pass by resolution what Congress would never agree to: a lifting of sanctions on Iran in exchange for a nearly worthless deal in which Iran would keep thousands of centrifuges and get a 10-year glide path to nuclear breakout. Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), seeing what was afoot, demanded an explanation from the White House, calling such a scheme an “affront to the American people.”

On Thursday evening, after being pressed by irate Republicans, the National Security Council issued a defensive statement insisting that it would do no such thing. The story was handed to BuzzFeed:

The U.S. has “no intention” of using the United Nations to lock into place any potential deal with Iran over its nuclear program, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday.

-— The U.S. has “no intention” of using the United Nations to lock into place any potential deal with Iran over its nuclear program, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday.-—

So we can be certain that this is Obama’s plan.

It’s good to see the Republicans resisting Obama on something.

I know it is their conservative blogger, but it just seems like this sort of thing would have been spiked in years past.

They are trying to rebuild a little trust before the 2016 election.

The nuancing and parsing of words in Islam is potent. It's how they speak under the speak.

Claiming the US has no intention of something is entirely different than saying the US will do something.

"The U.S." has "no intention".

Barak Hussein Obama, on the other hand, has a pen. And he has a phone. And he plans to use them, with plenty of intentions.

I pray this is true and that the denial abided by.

Not so much because I hate the Obama administration, which I do, but because if the U.N. is used as a means to ratify this treaty it will mean not only the end of the U.S. as a functioning Republic, it will result in the end of Israel as a living, breathing nation-state.

No it will let the other parties to the “negotiations” do that (and then claim the U.S. is bound).

Obama is being guided by the Muslim Brotherhood and is completely in the grasp of Valarie Jarret and Susan Rice. They are completely in charge for the next several weeks. He will be busy filling out his bracket and then watching every minute of the Tournament action on television. He has his priorities.
