Obama Claimed Iran's Nuclear Program was "frozen" Shock: Obama Lied

U.S. Report on Iran Terrorism Should End Delusions about Nuclear Program - Dana Somberg
The U.S. State Department report released on Friday detailing Iran's continued sponsorship of international terrorism proves that Tehran cannot be trusted to curb its nuclear program, National Infrastructure, Energy and Water Minister Yuval Steinitz said on Saturday. He said the report's conclusions "dealt a death knell" to "the American delusion, according to which an easing of sanctions as part of an interim nuclear treaty would lead to a moderation of its position. That's why the report should serve as a warning sign for anyone who thinks Iran will moderate its behavior after a final-status nuclear treaty."

The report faults Tehran for continuing to fund proxy organizations throughout the Middle East - namely Hizbullah and Hamas - during 2014 and for expanding its foreign operations in Africa, Asia and South America. The report also notes that "Iran has historically provided weapons, training, and funding to Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups....These Palestinian terrorist groups have been behind a number of deaths from attacks originating in Gaza and the West Bank." In 2014, "militants from Gaza also infiltrated Israeli territory using tunnels in six separate attacks and, for the first time, by a sea-borne operation." (Maariv Hashavua-Jerusalem Post)

Iran appears to have Kerry by the short hairs.

https://ca.news.yahoo.com/kerry-iran-deal-legacy-hit-many-misses-050907277.html

Kerry's determination to headline the talks is obvious from his travel schedule.

In the last six months, he has met his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Jawad Zarif everywhere from Geneva, Paris, Davos, Lausanne, Montreux and Munich to New York City.

Veteran negotiators say Kerry's willingness to meet the Iranians so often makes it look like he is chasing a deal, rather than intervening only when the toughest issues remain.

"Being secretary of state by odometer is a very false measure," said Richard Armitage, a deputy secretary of state under Republican President George W. Bush.

"The administration is too eager," added Armitage. "Iranians can smell this. And if the secretary of state is willing to airmail himself in at the 11th and a half hour every time, what incentive is it for the Iranians to give you their bottom line?"

So what’s a guy to do?

Give the farm away, that’s what.

VIENNA (AP) — The United States and other nations negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran are ready to offer high-tech reactors and other state-of-the-art equipment to Tehran if it agrees to crimp programs that can make atomic arms, according to a confidential document obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press.

At least he's no longer trying to become president. Be glad for that.

Kerry is the child of a marriage between stupidity and flatulence.

Blind, deaf and dumb on Iran

By Cal Thomas

Published July 2, 2015

Am I allowed to repeat myself when it comes to the negotiations over the U.S.-Iran nuclear deal?

Why not, since that is what Iran's leaders are doing. They are repeating themselves by refusing inspections of some of their facilities where only a fool would believe nuclear weapons are not under construction. They are repeating themselves when they demand all sanctions be lifted on the day any deal is signed.

And let's not forget Iran's weekly "Death to America" chants at Friday prayer services, though publicly politicians in Tehran are said to denounce them. Why would anyone in his right diplomatic mind believe anything these subsidizers of terrorism say, especially when they appear to believe their religion requires them to build a bomb, obliterate Israel, eliminate America and subject the world to Sharia law?

U.S. officials, from President Obama, to Secretary of State John Kerry, repeat themselves with empty assurances that the deal, if it comes after the latest "deadline" has passed, will be a good one for America and the world. Trust them, they repeatedly say. Yet each time Iran stands up to the U.S., American officials appear to back down.

Stephen F. Hayes of the Weekly Standard has listed some of the many contradictory statements made by American leaders about Iran's nuclear program.

In 2012, notes Hayes, The Obama administration demanded -- yes, demanded -- that nuclear facilities at the secret Fordo site be closed. At the end of 2013, President Obama repeated the administration's position: "We know they don't need an underground, fortified facility like Fordo in order to have a peaceful program."

But on April 22 of this year, the president was quoted by The New York Times as saying, "Under the preliminary accord, Fordo would become a research center, but not for any element that could potentially be used in nuclear weapons." So Fordo gets to stay open, maybe as a tourist attraction, or research library for terrorists?

On April 7, 2012, Hayes adds, National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said: "Our position is clear: Iran must live up to its international obligations, including full suspension of uranium enrichment as required by multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions."

But on March 19 of this year, the Associated Press quoted Vietor saying: "Agreement on Iran's uranium enrichment program could signal a breakthrough for a larger deal aimed at containing the Islamic Republic's nuclear activities." The tentative deal imposes "limits on the number of centrifuges Iran can operate to enrich uranium." But it would still allow Iran to continue enrichment.

The United States is in retreat around the world and is perceived as weak by her enemies, including not only Iran, but Russia, which continues its aggression toward Ukraine, and China, which is building new islands in disputed waters in the South China Sea, probably to be used as military bases.

I have yet to hear from a U.S. government official why anyone can trust an Iranian regime whose dictatorship kills its own people, conducts secret trials, and openly and proudly states its god wishes everyone who disagrees with its version of Islam eliminated from the planet.

Assurances that inspections will keep Iran from cheating are meaningless if the regime hides its nuclear weapons in places where they won't allow inspections. Since Iranian leaders believe the Koran allows them to lie to "infidels" in pursuit of their goals, could someone please explain how any agreement with liars forces them to stop lying? Why would they counteract what they believe to be direct orders from their god if doing so, according to Islamic doctrine, would place them in danger of hellfire?

In asking these questions, I repeat those asked in previous columns.

Not so the U.S., which keeps changing its position while pursuing an unenforceable goal with an unverifiable agreement.

A senior Iranian military official said Sunday that despite the emerging nuclear dealbetween Iran and the US-led P5+1 group of world powers, America will remain Tehran's enemy.

Iranian Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said that even if a nuclear deal comes to fruition in Vienna, where Iranian and western negotiators are currently trying to reach an agreement by a Tuesday deadline, Tehran and Washington will not become friends.

"The US might arrive at some agreements with us within the framework of the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany), but we should never hold a positive view over the enemy," Iran's Fars News Agency quoted Pourdastan as saying.

"Our enmity with them is over the principles and is rooted because we are after the truth and nations' freedom, but they seek exploiting nations and putting them in chains," he explained further.


Pourdastan's comments came as differences still remained between the two sides over the country's disputed nuclear program ahead of Tuesday's deadline for a final agreement to end a 12-year-old dispute.

The deal under discussion between Iran and the powers is aimed at curbing Tehran's most sensitive nuclear work for a decade or more, in exchange for relief from sanctions that have crippled the Iranian economy.

The United States and its allies fear Iran is using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to develop a nuclear weapons capability. Iran says its program is peaceful.

Washington is negotiating the deal as part of a group of major powers that also includes Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia. It is a major initiative both for the administration of US President Barack Obama and for Iran's pragmatic elected President Hassan Rouhani, both of whom face skepticism from powerful hardliners at home.

Reaching a deal would be the most important milestone in decades towards alleviating hostility between the United States and Iran, enemies since Iranian revolutionaries captured 52 hostages in the US embassy in Tehran in 1979.

An Iranian official told the semi-official Tasnim news agency that the talks could continue until July 9, echoing some Western diplomats. Kerry said negotiators were still aiming for the July 7 deadline, which the negotiators set when they missed a June 30 deadline last week.

Kerry and Zarif held a string of meetings on Sunday, trying to overcome remaining differences, including how to lift United Nations sanctions and what advanced research and development Iran may pursue. Foreign ministers of the other powers started to return to Vienna on Sunday to help push for a swift deal.

US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Sunday that reaching an agreement is possible this week if Iran makes the "hard choices" necessary, but if not, the United States stands ready to walk away from the negotiations.

Even the Washington Post Editorial Board sees through this:

IF IT is reached in the coming days, a nuclear deal with Iran will be, at best, an unsatisfying and risky compromise. Iran’s emergence as a threshold nuclear power, with the ability to produce a weapon quickly, will not be prevented; it will be postponed, by 10 to 15 years. In exchange, Tehran will reap hundreds of billions of dollars in sanctions relief it can use to revive its economy and fund the wars it is waging around the Middle East.
…
This weakness is matched by a White House proclivity to respond to questions about Iran’s performance by attacking those who raise them. Mr. Albright, a physicist with a long record of providing non-partisan expert analysis of nuclear proliferation issues, said on the Foreign Policy Web site that he had been unfairly labeled as an adversary of the Iran deal and that campaign-style “war room” tactics are being used by the White House to fend off legitimate questions.

calling obama a liar is racist

 

[Dave007inVegas]

It’s a deal!

VIENNA (CBS News/CBSDC/AP) — After 18 days of intense negotiations, the U.S. and five other world powers have reached a deal to freeze Iran’s nuclear program for the next decade in exchange for gradual sanctions relief that rolls out as Iran complies with a multi-step process.

The accord will keep Iran from producing enough material for a nuclear weapon for at least 10 years and impose new provisions for inspections of Iranian facilities, including military sites. And it marks a dramatic break from decades of animosity between the United States and Iran, countries that alternatively call each other the “leading state sponsor of terrorism” and the “the Great Satan.”

Obama said Iran’s path to a nuclear weapon has been “cut off.”

However in a message to Congress, Obama said that he will “veto any legislation that prevents the successful implementation of this deal.”

“I welcome a robust debate in Congress on this issue, and I welcome scrutiny of the details of this agreement,” Obama
said.

Obama stressed there would be “very real consequences for a violation” of the agreement by Iran. Golly Gee Willikers, where have we heard that before?

Typical Obama, I welcome your input but I won’t pay any attention to it. My way or the highway.

Reaction from Israel was predictable.

JERUSALEM — Israeli leaders across the political spectrum condemned in stark apocalyptic language the Iranian nuclear pact announced by the United States and world powers Tuesday, calling it a historic mistake that frees Iran to sponsor global terror while assembling the expertise to build a nuclear bomb.

“Iran is going to receive a sure path to nuclear weapons,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Many of the restrictions that were supposed to prevent it from getting there will be lifted.”

With the lifting of economic sanctions, Netanyahu warned: “Iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars, which will enable it to continue to pursue its aggression and terror.”

Netanyahu’s hardline coalition partner, education minister Naftali Bennett added: “Today a terrorist nuclear superpower is born, and it will go down as one of the darkest days in world history.”

 

[Dave007inVegas]

What a deal!

The terms of the deal are still breaking online, but one aspect will certainly meet with skepticism in the United States.

Iran will be able to formally oppose any request for inspection by the U.N., and inspection will be delayed until there is a resolution by all the powers signing on to the agreement, including Iran.

Obviously this presents the opportunity to prevent inspections, or at least to delay them sufficiently to cover up any violations.

You only had to look at the beaming smiles on the faces of the Iranian negotiating team to see who had emerged as the undisputed winners of thedrawn-out negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme.

Iranians have long enjoyed a reputation for being wily negotiators, but the outcome of the marathon talks that concluded in Vienna amidst a fanfare of mutual congratulation will have surpassed even their wildest expectations.

Tehran entered these talks, let us not forget, out of sheer desperation to escape the crippling effects of the economic sanctions imposed by the West in retaliation for Iran’s less-than-forthright disclosures about its nuclear activities.




These included building a heavily fortified underground uranium enrichment facility at Natanz (whose existence was exposed by the Iranian opposition in 2003) and a similar establishment built deep within a mountain at Fordow (whose existence was exposed by British intelligence in 2009).

Iran’s obsession with acquiring the ability to enrich uranium well beyond the level required for civilian and commercial applications, as well as its concurrent investment in building ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, has led Western intelligence to conclude – not unreasonably – that Tehran has been working on a clandestine atomic weapons programme.



One of the main objectives of the Vienna talks, part of a diplomatic process that first began more than a decade ago, has been to get to the bottom of Tehran’s deliberate obfuscations. Western officials wanted to establish whether a country that is sitting on the world’s second largest oil reserves was seriously developing an indigenous nuclear power industry, or something far more sinister.
Yet such is the Iranians’ negotiating skill that, despite years of intense diplomatic activity on the part of the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany), we are still no closer to understanding precisely what they have been up to.





Attempts to force Iran to account for all the glaring inconsistencies that have arisen over the years in its declarations to the International Atomic Energy Agency have drawn a blank, with the Iranians claiming that the perfectly reasonable requests made by Western diplomats for clarification are insulting and disrespectful.
The proper response by the White House to Iran’s refusal to cooperate should have been to keep the sanctions in place until the ayatollahs demonstrated a genuine desire to come clean. This was the attitude that prevailed in Washington during the presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose defiant attitude simply resulted in Tehran suffering further economic hardship.



And yet, far from holding the Iranians to account for their deception, we now have the bizarre situation where we have world leaders from Washington to Tehran – even including Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad – celebrating the conclusion of a deal which leaves us none the wiser about Iran’s true nuclear intentions. Moreover, the deal set out in Vienna yesterday allows Iran to retain vital capabilities that can be used for making nuclear weapons, such as developing more sophisticated methods of enriching uranium to weapons grade, as well as continuing development work on its ballistic missile programme.
In return, Iran can now look forward to having the sanctions lifted as well as the global freeze on its assets, which could result in Tehran realising an estimated $150 billion (around £100 billion) in funds. No wonder the Iranian negotiators are celebrating their “historic” deal.

 

[superbeets]

The main reason we have ended up with this apology for a deal is that, rather than maintain the economic pressure on Iran until it guaranteed proper cooperation, President Barack Obama indicated he was more interested in securing his foreign policy legacy by signing a historic accord, irrespective of the concessions this would require.
Mr Obama might have convinced himself that the deal cuts off all of Iran’s “pathways to nuclear weapons”, but that is certainly not how the deal will be viewed by those who have more intimate knowledge of the Iranian regime’s devious tactics, such as the Saudis and the Gulf states.



Rather than being reassured that Tehran’s nuclear ambitions have been thwarted, they will view with alarm the prospect of a resurgent Iran, unfettered by economic constraints, seeking new opportunities to dominate its Gulf rivals.
It is no doubt with this in mind that Prince Mohammed bin Nawwaf bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, the Saudi ambassador to London, warned in his recent interview with The Daily Telegraph that the Saudis might be prepared to acquire nuclear weapons of their own to defend themselves from further acts of Iranian aggression. If Mr Obama really believes his “historic” deal is going to bring peace to the region, then he needs to think again.

Peace?

You fucking naive simpleton. What has Iran ever done that makes you believe they're the slightest bit interested in honoring this deal?

See if you can take a five-minute break from watching your VHS tape of Wrestlemania's greatest moments and have a listen to this:

In short, Mark Levin explains why the Stuttering Clusterfuck just planted the seeds for WWIII. And when Iran develops the technology to launch an ICBM at us in 10-15 years? Ooo, fuck...we can't do a lot about it. Why? Because braindead peace-niks insisted having Star Wars hardware that allows us to defend ourselves from a nuclear attack is unfair to the rest of the world. Or something.

When (not if) Americans ultimately die because of this fucking treasonous POS POTUS' actions, the blood will be entirely on his hands. This God damned ghetto trash cancer to the country cannot get the fuck out of office quickly enough.
