Obama defends Iran deal, tells Israelis if anybody messes with you USA will be there
Jerusalem Post ^ | 04/06/2015

In New York Times interview, Obama says it has been "personally difficult" for him to hear expressions that his administration has not done everything it could to look out for Israel’s interest.

American would stand by Israel if it’s attacked by any state, including Iran, US President Barack Obama pledged in an extensive 46 minutes interview with The New York Times in which he advocated for the new framework deal to curb Tehran’s nuclear program.

“What we will be doing even as we enter this deal, is sending a clear message to the Iranians and to the entire region that if anyone messes with Israel, America will be there,” Obama told The New York Times reporter Thomas Friedman.

His interview with Obama, which was taped on Saturday and published on Sunday, was unusual both in its digital format and length.

It gave Obama an extended forum to defend the framework deal, which was agreed upon last week by Iran and the six world powers, including the US. A binding document will only be finalized in June.

In a calm and measured voice Obama explained that this deal was the best diplomatic option to halt Iran’s nuclear threat. It would, he said, provide an almost foolproof monitoring system to ensure that Tehran did not produce any nuclear weapons for at least 20 years.

“I have been very clear that Iran will not get a nuclear weapon on my watch,” Obama said. “They should understand that we mean it.”

We could trust - but how do we verify - until it’s too late?

We will run the most transparent White House ever.
We will be there if Israel needs us.
Nothing to Benghazi.
Nothing to the IRS targeting Conservatives.

How can you tell when Obama is lying?

His lips move.

Documents are only binding in a Rule of Law framework. We are way past rule of law. And Bammy leads that change.
