Obama’s statement on the Iranian Nuclear Deal, earlier today.
“This agreement is good for the United States, good for our allies, and good for the safety of the entire world. It reduces the danger of the threat of nuclear spreading in the region. It’s a crucial step toward drawing Iran into the global community.
Today, after 16 months of intense and difficult negotiations with Iran, we have completed an agreement that will make the United States, the Middle East, and the world safer. Under the agreement, Iran has agreed to freeze its existing nuclear program and to accept international inspection of all existing facilities.
This agreement represents the first step on the road to a nuclear-free Middle East. It does not rely on trust. Compliance will be certified by the International Atomic Energy Agency.”
OK, I lied, that was not Obama bragging about his Nuclear Deal with Iran, it was Bill Clinton bragging about his nuclear deal with North Korea in 1994. You just swap the words “North Korea” and “Iran,” and “Middle East” with “Korean Peninsula.” It was pretty much the same deal, the USA lifts sanctions and the other country promises not to develop a nuclear weapon, pinky swear.
We all know how that worked out last time.
Thank you v the k. Perfect set up. Now that they will be able to access overseas assets, should we start a pool on how long it will be before they have their first nuclear test? It took N. Korea 2 years I think. I betting for Iran to do it in 12 or less months.
The Persians are smarter and more astute than the North Koreans. The first test of an Iranian nuclear device will be a shipping container in Haifa Harbor.
What could possibly go wrong, here?!
Obama has just given Iran free reign to get the bomb.
Israel is in trouble.
Just Me (#4) and so are we.
Can’t go along on this one. What’s good for Israel is good for the countries she hates, threatens and bombs. She’s allowed nukes in every nook and cranny and her neighbors can’t have any?
None of this is the classic conservative position. America and Israel in bed together, America dictating to the world, America bludgeoning other countries for Israel.
The roles are reversed. Iran has done nothing to harm America—America has harassed, defamed and abused Iran for decades. Israel is the only country positively proven to have committed acts of terrorism against the United States. USS Liberty, the Lavon Affair etc…. with friends like these, who needs Arabs? Or Persians.
Painting Iran as a threat is wacky when it’s Israel that does things like threatening to blow up the capitols of Europe if it doesn’t get its way. Iran is a conservative, peaceable country. Israel is an extreme liberal black hole.
