The news from the Iranian nuclear program negotiations in Vienna just keeps getting worse. Now, it seems like the United States is going to give up on military inspections that could be anything close to effective. From the AFP:
“We have worked out a process that we believe will ensure that the IAEA has the access it needs,” the administration official told reporters.
“The entry point isn’t we must be able to get into every military site, because the United States of America wouldn’t allow anybody to get into every military site, so that’s not appropriate,” the official said.
[...]
“There are conventional purposes, and there are secrets that any country has that they are not willing to share,” the first American official said.
Take a look at that bolded statement, because that’s what it all comes down to. If you needed any further evidence that our government is much more interested in playing nice with the Iranians than actually solving the problem at hand, then here it is. “That’s not appropriate” is reasoning that might have worked in high school, but in the real world, we are telling the one of the most dangerous and least trustworthy states in the world exactly where they can building nuclear weapons without worrying about being discovered. Bill Kristol at the Weekly Standard sums it up well:
It turns out the left’s old doctrine of moral equivalence between the Soviet Union and the U.S. has been replaced by a doctrine of moral equivalence between Iran and the U.S.
This sentence says it all. Opponents of a bad deal should make it famous: You can only vote for this deal if you accept this basic equivalence between the Iranian regime and the U.S.
Whatever you think of Donald Trump (and I’m no supporter of his), he’s exactly right when he says “We look like we’re beggars,” at the talks. It is exactly the same kind of thing an Iranian general said back in February. With all the talk about the talks missing the June 30th deadline, it’s hard to understand why. The United States has essentially been giving the Iranians everything they want. The Islamic Republic knows it cannot directly ask the negotiating powers for the bomb, but they do know they can create exactly the conditions they want to get away with developing one in secret because they know the Obama administration will give it to them. Unfortunately, because of our President’s obsession with his legacy and his desire to bring the United States down to the level of the rest of the world, the Iranians are going to get the bomb, and everyone else is going to have to live with the consequences.
Of course we are....Obama/Kerry always get their tummies rubbed by our enemies when they roll over and compromise US and World security.....They really, really like that!
The next US President and the Nation will be left to deal with the consequences of the Obama/Clinton/Kerry Foreign Policy mistakes in a similar fashion that Bush 43 had to deal with the 911 attacks and the failures of Clinton 42 and his Washer Woman Sec. of State Madelyn Halfbright
The so called “Religion of Peace” Islam is NOT a religion. Islam is a repressive, barbaric system of governance whose goal is complete world domination. It is a wolf hiding under the sheepskin of the fanaticism of a “religion”
Deal with it in the manner it deserves....three words......
What a bunch of boneheads.
The world must wonder what has happened to the US?
There is no way Israel could regard such an arrangement as anything but an imperative to strike.
Don’t know what happens in between then, but God Himself protects Israel during Ezekiel 38, which is Iran attacking.
Iran and her allies lose big time. Big time.
So there is equivalence between the US and Iran? If so ... then using their ridiculous 'logic' ... why are we even asking that Iran not make nukes if the US is allowed to have nukes?
Obama is a deadly joke of a POTUS. And all the A$$hat$ who support him and his minions, shame shame.
I can’t believe Israel hasn’t acted yet.
Trump is right a lot. He’s just a lousy communicator.
Looks like it’s time to move somewhere that is at least 100 miles from any major city.
I laughed at this headline because what else can you do at this point when it comes to these people?
U asS (Obama) Giving Up Everything on Military Inspections of Iran Nuke Sites
surrendering absolutely everything is what’s going on. Bill of Rights, defense, absolutely everything is being fundamentally transformed. Mish wasn’t lying and her school food is not good enough for vermin.
Israel doesn’t want to be the bad guy and is waiting for leadership on the part of the US. I hope they know they won’t get anything better from Clinton.
No, he is an enemy insurgent and is actively working to destroy the economy, armed forces, demography, and social fabric of the USA.
He is succeeding wildly and is running amok unchecked.
Apparently only Donald Trump has a problem with this.
Pfft. I am not worried about getting NOTHING out of a deal, I am concerned we are going to give the Iranians BILLIONS of OUR tax money to get a stupid agreement that allows them to build nuclear weapons, which they are going to do anyway because we aren’t going to attack them, and we are putting all kinds of pressure on the Israelis not to.
This is a done deal. The Iranians are going to have their weapons (unless the Israelis do something) and it will gall me if we give the Iranians billions of dollars to be...good boys. They will sneer openly with derisive glee, as they rake in the money from us.
What a bunch of patsies the world views us as.
So it’s because Iran has been found not to be contributing to “global warming” or making Confederate flags, right?
“Deal with it in the manner it deserves....three words......”
Islam Delenda Est?
[Arming Iran with nukes promises those solutions. Of course Iran could decide to take out DC before it hits Israel.]
Mixed emotions on that one if the Congress and President and SCOTUS are in session when it happens.
“Islam Delenda Est?”
Vero!
I am sure Hussein will be playing golf in Hawaii when that happens. He won’t deign to invite McConnell or Boehner along, though.
