greyolddave, who said anything about going to war??? But why does Obama, who refuses to negotiate with “evil” Republicans, give in to Iran- which celebrated all the concessions they got out of a weak America.
And do you think the world would be a better place with extremist Muslims holding nuclear weapons?
I’m in no way advocating war, but I seem to remember someone from that part of the world, at one time or another, saying something like it’s ok to negotiate when you’re weak, but when you’re strong enough kick their ass. Just a paraphrase of course. Guess what happens next!
Amen, Lisa!Also at www.newsday.com/opinion is an excellent cartoon by Jimmy Margulies….Netanyahu and a Saudi Emir holding a sign at Obama’s Oval Office…“Iran Nuke Deal is a SELLOUT”….And at Politico.com Charles Krauthammer’s article:“Worst Since Munich”…..IMO Obama has spent 5 years legitimizing terrorists; first the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and worldwide…..now the Capitol of World Terrorism, Iran, has been legitimized and will (this is incredible!) be given sanctioned-withheld $4 billion in oil revenues and the US Treasury is committed to supply American cash up to $7 billion! IMO this should be impeachable.
Just a minor note for DT and the others, the Saudis have provided FAR MORE FUNDING to TERRORISTS, than Iran. the Wahabi subset of Sunni is far more restrictive, and “nutso”, than Shia in Iran… Granted, I’d want no part of living in a sectarian state, be it Islamic, Christian, or well, Israel, but it’s interesting how many SECULAR states we’ve overthrown in the Middle East, making things go downhill.
Hmm, that does seem to fit the goals of Americans predicting “the rapture”. So by all means, let’s encourage more wars!!
“Barack Obama has used Iran to push the millions of Americans losing access to healthcare off the front page.”
Almost, but not quite, as brilliant as his hiring of the Sandy Hook shooter so he could bring up his “I want to take away all your guns” traveling medicine show.He’s so smart that way.I’m pretty sure that the cyclone that hit the Philippines was his idea, as well. You’ll notice that more Christians died than Muslims, and we all know that’s his goal.
Obama is the most anti-Israel president in history.He spent a year on Iran and the final “deal” was the exact same demands Iran made on Day One.-He has betrayed America’s long friendship with the Jews (a Jewish banker saved the American Revolution) and has demanded Israel give up rights to land and rights to defend itself while giving away the store to Islamic Arabs intending on wiping out Jewish Israel.-When Jesus (born a Jew) Returns, his first Judgment will be the nations who mistreated His Jewish Brethren. I had always hoped the USA would not be counted among them, but the last 5 years record of our government versus Israel makes it a sure thing for God’s punishment.
From Roger Cohen in the New York Times:+“Let us be clear. This is the best deal that could be had. Nothing, not even sustained Israeli bombardment, can reverse the nuclear know-how Iran possesses. The objective must be to ring-fence the acquired capability so its use can only be peaceful.”+“Diplomacy involves compromise; risk is inherent to it. Iran is to be tested. Nobody can know the outcome. Things may unravel but at least there is hope. Perhaps this is what is most threatening to Netanyahu. He has never been willing to test the Palestinians in a serious way — test their good faith, test ending the humiliations of the occupation, test from strength the power of justice and peace. He has preferred domination, preferred the Palestinians down and under pressure.”+“Obama and Kerry have invited Netanyahu to think again — and not just about Iran. Nothing, to judge by the hyperventilating Israeli rhetoric, could be more disconcerting. Nothing is more needed. Cheap allusions to 1938 are a poor template for Israel in the 21st century.”+
You say “The UN and the US has been insisting all along that Iran doesn’t have the right to enrich uranium.” Tell me more, please. Why would Iran not have the right to enrich uranium? I didn’t know about this, and I’m curious to know about it.
ReasonsVentriloquist said, 1 day ago @disgustedtaxpayer “He has betrayed America’s long friendship with the Jews (a Jewish banker saved the American Revolution)…”.Do you know how that Jewish Banker felt about the creation of Israel? No, you don’t.-What does the opinion of the Jewish Banker about “Israel” (not expected in 1776 to ever become a nation again, in secular thinking) have to do with the proof of ties from the founding days of the USA with the Jews and since 1948 with the nation recognized by the UN called “Israel”????-my point, which you totally ignored, is that the American government since 1787 has had friendly ties and support for the Jewish people. Since Prez Truman, our presidents have supported Israel. Obama has now broken that tradition.And Obama has put America directly in line for God’s punishment for doing harm to Israel and to the Jewish people.

Hate it when something can be accomplished without war. Quite an indictment of previous administrations….
