Telegraph By Charles Krauthammer
The devil is not in the details. It's in the entire conception of the Iran deal, animated by President Obama's fantastical belief that he, uniquely, could achieve détente with a fanatical Islamist regime whose foundational purpose is to cleanse the Middle East of the poisonous corruption of American power and influence.
In pursuit of his desire to make the Islamic Republic into an accepted, normalised "successful regional power," Obama decided to take over the nuclear negotiations. At the time, Tehran was reeling – the rial plunging, inflation skyrocketing, the economy contracting – under a regime of international sanctions painstakingly constructed over a decade.
Then, instead of welcoming Congress' attempt to tighten sanctions to increase the pressure on the mullahs, Obama began the negotiations by loosening sanctions, injecting billions into the Iranian economy (which began growing again in 2014) and conceding in advance an Iranian right to enrich uranium.
It's been downhill ever since. Desperate for a legacy deal, Obama has played the supplicant, abandoning every red line his administration had declared essential to any acceptable deal.[...]
Taken together, the catalogue of capitulations is breathtaking: spot inspections, disclosure of previous nuclear activity, gradual sanctions relief, retention of non-nuclear sanctions.
What's left? A surrender document of the kind offered by defeated nations suing for peace. Consider: The strongest military and economic power on earth, backed by the five other major powers, armed with what had been a crushing sanctions regime, is about to sign the worst international agreement in American diplomatic history.
How did it come to this? With every concession, Obama and Kerry made clear they were desperate for a deal.
And they will get it. Obama will get his "legacy." Kerry will get his Nobel. And Iran will get the bomb.
Terrible! “ Obama will get his "legacy." Kerry
ReplyDeletewill get his Nobel. And Iran will get the bomb.”
Closer and closer now, to our
bombing the mullahs. I say God will

Obama and his Islamic and Marxist anti-Jewish cohorts have worked diligently to sell out America and Israel to their jihadist enemies such as Shiite terrorists in Iran and the Sunni terrorist Muslim Brotherhood Y"S. But Obama is not the last word in US-Israel relations and his efforts to undermine Israel are to no avail.
ReplyDeleteUS military, scientific, and commercial interests realize Israel is America's greatest ally in the Middle East. With siyata d'Shamaya, Israel's relationship with US military, scientific, and commercial interests is stronger than ever. And amazingly, Obama's efforts on behalf of Muslim Brotherhood terrorists has only served to greatly strength Israel's relationship with Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
