Graham: Obama, ayatollah talking about two different Iran deals

President Obama and Iran’s supreme leader appear to think they have negotiated different nuclear deals based on their public comments, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Friday.

Graham, a possible 2016 GOP presidential candidate, said the different public accounts of a framework deal suggest Obama has rushed into a tentative agreement with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader.

“The Ayatollah and President Obama appear to be talking about two separate agreements and unfortunately, I can’t say I’m surprised,” Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement.

“President Obama wants a deal way too badly, and his administration has been trying to sell a deal which may not actually exist,” he added.

Graham argued that Obama’s haste had left the draft accord missing two essential imperatives. The first, he continued, was dictating that sanctions relief did not instantly benefit Iran’s economy.

“The Ayatollah should be told — in no uncertain terms — that should we come to an actual agreement between both parties, sanctions relief will not be immediate,” Graham charged.

“Any realistic agreement must preclude sanctions relief from being granted until Iran proves it has ended its military nuclear program,” he added.

The South Carolina lawmaker said that a final accord must next feature “anytime-anywhere” inspections capable of examining Iranian compliance in the blink of an eye.

“The ‘anytime-anywhere’ inspection should be a given in light of Iran’s history of cheating, and it would be incredibly dangerous not to require Iran to abide by an ‘anytime-anywhere’ inspections regime,” Graham argued.

It’s a sad state of affairs when I tend to believe a raving mad muzzie over the President of the United States.

There is NO DEAL. And most likely, there will be no deal...unless Obama give Iran EVERYTHING it wants. These medieval savages know what and who they are dealing with.

Just a huge, dangerous, expensive sham upon the free Western world sponsored by a very dangerous ideology.

I suspect there will be a “deal” as defined by Obama. He would sign a blank sheet of paper and let the Mullahs fill it in if that is what it took.

It is past time to abridge the extent of the authority of the one elected to the Presidency. The position is being abused against all good sense.

Obama thinks he is setting Iran to be his surrogate to wipe out Israel.

But the Ayatollah knows that Obama is a closet muslim and a spineless idiot and will take him for everything he can get.

The Ayatollah is the one telling the truth. He says he wants to burn America to the ground; Obama says he doesn’t. Who’s telling the truth.

I may be wrong but I think this is why negotiators usually get a signed agreement.
