Samantha Power: US will be Isolated if it Rejects Iran Deal
INN ^ | 8/27/2015, 9:40 PM | (Arutz Sheva Staff)

The United States will be isolated on the world stage and its influence diminished if Congress rejects the Iran nuclear deal, the US ambassador to the United Nations has warned.

In an editorial published by Politico, Samantha Power argued that a “no” vote from Congress would make it more difficult for the United States to drum up support for sanctions and partner with like-minded countries to confront crises.

“If the United States rejects this deal, we would instantly isolate ourselves from countries that spent nearly two years working with American negotiators to hammer out its toughest provisions,” Power wrote in a piece posted late Wednesday.

“We would go from a situation in which Iran is isolated to one in which the United States is isolated.” …

After all the ranting and raving about George W. Bush removing Saddam, Obama let this woman convince him to take out the far less abusive and more pliable long term strong man Kadafy,; the boatloads of refugees drowning in the Mediterranean are only the most pitiful testimony to the failure of this policy of “soft power “ and “leading from behind.” This person is an embarrassment and it is a travesty that she is allowed to say anything about policy without being hooted from the stage.

Can’t wait for the day when destructive idiot’s like Samantha Powers and Susan Rice are banished from DC forever. They should be ridiculed loud and often.

It is not clear whether one should be more impressed by the hypocrisy or by the irony of Ambassador Power's warning that America will lose the ability to lead in the future. It has been the goal of the Obama administration from the onset to end America's role as a world leader. That is essentially the meaning of, "leading from behind."

Well said, worth repeating.

Wait... what were the “toughest provisions” of which she speaks? There have been no “tough provisions” outlined by any government spokesperson.

Ditz.
Go get some more glamour shots, Sammy, but put the paper bag over your head this time.
Yo, Mrs. Cass Sunstein, your arrogance is exceeded only by your ignnorance --- the Iran Deal is monumentally horrible policy, and illegally executed, moreover the USofA won't be isolated when it is trashed, but you are free to go back to Ireland where you belong and take Cass the Clown Boy with you.

SOROS is all over this.

"In an editorial published by Politico, Samantha Power argued"

Soros formed Politico THE SAME WEEK Obama announced his candidacy for president.

Soros chose Samantha Power to be his puppet Obama's main foreign policy adviser after Samantha Power wrote a book advocating that the US occupy Israel with a "massive force" to force Israel to give the palestinians everything they want.

In that same book she coined the term "Responsibility to Protect" which the lefties then used as an excuse to interfere in Libya and Egypt. In that same

It this were actually true - and, of course, it’s just another obama lie - then maybe the US would appreciate Israel’s plight a little better. These idiots haven’t the capacity to truly understand the irony of their inane comments.

[There is the fundamental problem with the Obama administration, Obama despises America, he wants it undermined because he sees America as the principal stumbling block to a transformed world. His ambition is not limited to transforming America, he wants to see the world transformed by transforming America.]

I'm afraid after January 2017 we won't have heard the last of Obama. He is likely looking at a UN post (ultimately secretary general) or to involve himself with one of the many international organizations claiming a goal of “world peace.” He will make the meddling, narcissistic agitator Jimmy Carter look like a piker.

Richard Nixon's “The Real War” (1980) laid a blueprint for dealing with Soviet-backed insurgencies around the world. Reagan seemed to follow this plan in Latin America, the Caribbean and Afghanistan. He showed his own brilliance in confronting the Soviets in Europe, deploying more missiles and giving them nightmares with the subterfuge of “Star Wars”—a new level of strategic weaponry the Russians knew they couldn't afford.

If the Atlantic Ocean doesn’t go to low tide right now, it will be isolated. You can’t isolate a super power, sister.
