Obama: the art of capitulation

John KErry Face PalmTo Iran.

The so-called “deal” with Iran is over.  Ring the bell.  Iran wins.

From a source much more reliable than media in the states, the UKDailyMail.com:

‘Iran have been given a licence to kill’: Netanyahu blasts ‘historic mistake’ of agreeing Tehran nuclear deal as Israeli ministers condemn the ‘surrender by the West to the axis of evil’

by Simon Tomlinson
  • Major powers agree historic accord after a decade of on-off negotiations
  • Lead negotiator John Kerry says U.S. got ‘the good deal that we sought’ 
  • United States, European Union and the UN agree to lift sanctions on Iran
  • Tehran accepts long-term curbs on its nuclear programme that the West has suspected was aimed at creating an atomic bomb
  • Israel reacts angrily to deal and vows to stop the agreement being ratified 
  • Global oil prices plunge over possibility Iranian supply will return to market

The European Union called it a ‘sign of hope for the entire world’, while President Barack Obama insisted the deal meant ‘every pathway to a nuclear weapon is cut off.’

Israel today launched a blistering attack on Western powers for agreeing to a controversial atomic deal with Iran, warning that it gave Tehran ‘a sure path to nuclear weapons’.

Under the accord, sanctions imposed by the United States, European Union and United Nations will be lifted in return for Iran agreeing to long-term curbs on a nuclear programme that the West has suspected was aimed at creating an atomic bomb.

What?  Iran doesn’t want to create an atomic weapon?  No, of course not.  It simply wants nuclear energy to power its country as an alternate energy source because, after all, the oil is running out beneath Iran’s feet.

Right?

But this was angrily rejected by Israel, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu branding the deal ‘a bad mistake of historic proportions’.

He said: ‘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 in the region and in the world.

‘Iran is going to receive a sure path to nuclear weapons.’

Miri Regev, a former military spokeswoman who serves as Israel’s culture and sports minister, said it gave Iran a ‘licence to kill’, adding that it was ‘bad for the free world (and) bad for humanity.’

Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely called the deal ‘a historic surrender by the West to the axis of evil headed by Iran.’

Wait.  Is the Daily Mail saying that the United States, by way of Barack Hussein Obama and John Forbes Kerry (who would name their child after a magazine?) didn’t actually acquire the finest deal available with Iran?

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who spent the last 19 days leading the talks in Vienna, hailed the accord as ‘the good deal that we sought’.

That much is true.  I believe the deal acquired was precisely what Obama sought.

Who will this deal truly benefit?  This is called a clue:

‘Celebrating too early can send a bad signal to the enemy,’ Iranian conservative lawmaker Alireza Zakani was quoted as saying in parliament by Fars News agency.

He noted that Iran’s National Security Council would also review the deal ‘and if they think it is against our national interests, we will not have a deal’, he said.

‘The Islamic Republic will not sign a bad deal.’

So Iran signed the deal.  You do the math.

One thing you can clearly state about Iran: it refuses to act in ways against its own best interests, unlike the United States.

What were points of the deal?

Iran’s IRNA news agency said billions of dollars in frozen funds would be released under the deal, and sanctions on its central bank, national oil company, shipping and airlines would now be lifted.

Iran retains right to conduct research into enriching uranium for 10 years, without stockpiling it

Iran agreed to the continuation of a UN arms embargo on the country for up to five more years, though it could end earlier if the International Atomic Energy Agency definitively clears Iran of any current work on nuclear weapons.

A similar condition was put on U.N. restrictions on the transfer of ballistic missile technology to Tehran, which could last for up to eight more years, according to diplomats.

 
Iranian leaders insisted the embargo had to end as their forces combat regional scourges such as the Islamic State.

And they got some support from China and particularly Russia, which wants to expand military cooperation and arms sales to Tehran, including the long-delayed transfer of S-300 advanced air defense systems – a move long opposed by the United States.

Another significant agreement will allow U.N. inspectors to press for visits to Iranian military sites as part of their monitoring duties, something the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had long vowed to oppose.

However, access isn’t guaranteed and could be delayed, a condition that critics of the deal are sure to seize on as possibly giving Tehran time to cover up any illicit activity.

“Access isn’t guaranteed.”  A brilliant spot of negotiational acumen by John Forbes Kerry.  Read sentence two below.

IAEA chief Yukiya Amano said Tuesday his agency and Iran had signed a ‘roadmap’ to resolve outstanding concerns, hopefully by mid-December.

The economic benefits for Iran are potentially massive.

It stands to receive more than $100 billion in assets frozen overseas, and an end to a European oil embargo and various financial restrictions on Iranian banks.

There were many takes on the issue.

Bottom line?

It appears Iran gets precisely what it wants.  When Iran celebrates, you know something is wrong.

And the United States, a gullible dupe again under Obama, gets roughly nothing.

Did you know that Congress purposely forfeited their ability to veto this deal, and that Obama is seeking approval from the United Nations for the agreement?

P.S.

Sound similar to Obama’s failed trade of five major Taliban leaders (who are once again active in the field) for a traitor named Bowe Bergdahl?  That too was a wickedly brilliant deal — for the Taliban.

Iran is going to get the bomb — sooner or later, when the deal sunsets in ten years.  Oh, you didn’t know the deal “sunsets”?

Let’s see: Israel is concerned, Saudi Arabia is concerned and Jordan is concerned, to name a few.  This will, ladies and gentlemen, spark a Middle Eastern nuclear arms race.  Period.

“Death to Israel, death to America.”

This is insanity writ large.

Islam MAD

Obama: mixed up and muddled

And that quote is from his supporters regarding Iranian negotiations.

Imagine what his detractors are saying.  Like myself and others.

This president is having his house fall all about his shoulders, but few are noticing AMM-American-Media-Maggots-2because his water-carriers, the American Media Maggots, are shielding him continuously like the good lap doggies they promised to be at the outset.  GOWPs and the AMM, have shielded and protected Obama to the point where their credulity is now mostly lost.

Marie Harf Glittering JewelEven Marie Harf, the Department of State Flack, has to “explain” what Obaka really meant.  From CNSNews.com:

State Dep’t Clarifies Obama’s ‘Muddled’ Words on Iran Nuclear Breakout Time

by Patrick Goodenough

(CNSNews.com) – President Obama appeared to concede this week that under a final nuclear deal, Iran — after 13 or so years — would be able to build a nuclear bomb quickly if it chooses to do so. But State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf insisted later that the words had been misread.

Of course.  The words have been “misread.”

Harf told a daily briefing that Obama’s words “were a little mixed up” and “a little muddled,” saying they had referred to a hypothetical state of affairs in which an agreement had not been reached, rather than the situation as it will be in 13 years’ time under a negotiated agreement.

This is Marie Harf, the most ignorant glassesed bint on a current elevated government pedestal, quoting Barack Hussein Obama as “a little mixed up” and “a little muddled”?  And this is support?

Marie Harf did her level best to “walk back” Obama’s statements.  Please click the link.

Further, from Algemeiner.com:

“Open confusion” reigned today at the State Department after spokeswoman Marie Harf tried to withdraw a quote from President Barack Obama regarding Iran’s nuclear breakout time, advocacy group The Israel Project said.

In the interview with NPR’s Steve Inskeep, the President acknowledged that, after year 13, the current deal being worked out with Iran would not provide the international community with the promised 1-year warning should Iran decide to violate the deal and go for a nuclear weapon.

Details details details.  And on whom do these details fall?  Who wins, who loses?

Check out this article written by Henry Kissinger and George Shultz at WSJ.com.

Kissinger, Shultz: Iran Deal Likely to Deepen US Involvement

The recently announced framework agreement on Iran’s nuclear program is more likely to increase American involvement in the Middle East rather than decrease it, former Republican Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George P. Shultz write in a Wall Street Journal op-ed.

In the 2,000-word piece posted on the Journal’s website on Tuesday night, Kissinger and Shultz wrote that “Rather than enabling American disengagement from the Middle East, the nuclear framework is more likely to necessitate deepening involvement there — on complex new terms.”

Meaning: in over six years, there is still no one sitting at the Adult’s Table in the Obama Administration.

Since the number of Iran’s centrifuges have jumped from 100 at the start of talks 12 years ago to almost 20,000 today, “The threat of war now constrains the West more than Iran,” the former secretaries wrote. “While Iran treated the mere fact of its willingness to negotiate as a concession, the West has felt compelled to break every deadlock with a new proposal.”

Now, Iran’s program is within two to three months of building a nuclear weapon.

“In a large country with multiple facilities and ample experience in nuclear concealment, violations will be inherently difficult to detect,” they said. “Devising theoretical models of inspection is one thing. Enforcing compliance, week after week, despite competing international crises and domestic distractions, is another.”

Damn them for daring to speak and write the truth.  As Caucasoids, Kissinger and Schultz must be racists, not senior analysts.

Now, Iran’s program is within two to three months of building a nuclear weapon.

“In a large country with multiple facilities and ample experience in nuclear concealment, violations will be inherently difficult to detect,” they said. “Devising theoretical models of inspection is one thing. Enforcing compliance, week after week, despite competing international crises and domestic distractions, is another.”

And Iran has been completely forthcoming with current and past IAEA demands?  Allowed inspectors in?

Uh.  No.  Not even remotely.

Past behavior is the best predictor of future performance or the lack thereof.

A wonderful “out”:

Another wrench thrown into the gears is the means of enforcement, “which provides Iran permanent relief from sanctions in exchange for temporary restraints on Iranian conduct,” Kissinger and Shultz said.

Further:

Kissinger and Shultz also attack the idea of a nuclear umbrella provided to Iran’s Arab neighbors by the United States.

“Are the guarantees extended against the use of nuclear weapons — or against any military attack, conventional or nuclear? Is it the domination by Iran that we oppose or the method for achieving it?” they say. “What if nuclear weapons are employed as psychological blackmail?”

The central argument and paragraph:

“If the world is to be spared even worse turmoil, the U.S. must develop a strategic doctrine for the region,” they argue. “Stability requires an active American role. For Iran to be a valuable member of the international community, the prerequisite is that it accepts restraint on its ability to destabilize the Middle East and challenge the broader international order.”

Let’s be frank: Barack Hussein Obama couldn’t negotiate himself or his loved ones out of a paper bag.

What makes anyone think BHO could make any cogent negotiation?

Obama gives away the store to Iran

From Breitbart.com:

Iran Triumphant: Nuclear Deal Capitulates To Nearly All Iranian Demands

by John Hayward

A beaming Iranian foreign minister emerged from the meeting rooms in Switzerland to announce that all of the theocracy’s major demands had been met. According to the new provisions released on the nuclear deal, Iran will get to both keep active its centrifuges and receive sanctions relief.

That Obama, what a hard-nosed negotiator by way of John Kerry!  And I’m sure the foreign minister was beaming because Iran bent the US over completely, insisting we grab our ankles and cough.

The State Department has released a “fact sheet” highlighting the various points of the deal. Sanctions against will be lifted immediately, and probably forever. Iran gets to keep a huge number of its nuclear centrifuges spinning, including a thousand of them at the previously hidden and illegal fortified bunker of Fordo, which is supposed to become a “peaceful” nuclear, physics, technology, and research center. There are sunset provisions on everything Iran has tentatively agreed to, although in his Rose Garden press conference announcing the deal, Obama claimed they would somehow be “permanently” blocked from various forms of weapons development.

Capitulation, thy name is Barack “Neville” Obamerlain.

OBAMA CAPITULATES TO IRAN

U.S. Caves to Key Iranian Demands as Nuke Deal Comes Together

by Adam Kredo

Limited options for Congress as Obama seeks to bypass lawmakers

LAUSSANE, Switzerland—The Obama administration is giving in to Iranian demands about the scope of its nuclear program as negotiators work to finalize a framework agreement in the coming days, according to sources familiar with the administration’s position in the negotiations.

U.S. negotiators are said to have given up ground on demands that Iran be forced to disclose the full range of its nuclear activities at the outset of a nuclear deal, a concession experts say would gut the verification the Obama administration has vowed would stand as the crux of a deal with Iran.

Furthermore, Iran is laughing:

Iranian Negotiator Stresses Withdrawal of Powers from Past Stances in N. Talks

TEHRAN (FNA)- Director General for Political Affairs at the Iranian Foreign Ministry and nuclear negotiator Hamid Baeidinejad said on Wednesday that the western powers have withdrawn from their previous positions in nuclear talks with Tehran.

“The other side has withdrawn from its positions compared with the past, otherwise we wouldn’t have stood at this point and stage in the talks at all,” Baeidinejad told reporters in Tehran on Wednesday.

Yet, the Iranian negotiator stressed that certain issues have still remained unresolved between the two sides, including the removal of sanctions.

Read that again: Iran wants no sanctions at all.  Any bets on Obama keeping the sanctions in place?

And again, Obama bones Israel:

US Declassifies Document Revealing Israel’s Nuclear Program

By Ari Yashar, Matt Wanderman

Obama revenge for Netanyahu’s Congress talk? 1987 report on Israel’s top secret nuclear program released in unprecedented move.

In a development that has largely been missed by mainstream media, the Pentagon early last month quietly declassified a Department of Defense top-secret document detailing Israel’s nuclear program, a highly covert topic that Israel has never formally announced to avoid a regional nuclear arms race, and which the US until now has respected by remaining silent.

But by publishing the declassified document from 1987, the US reportedly breached the silent agreement to keep quiet on Israel’s nuclear powers for the first time ever, detailing the nuclear program in great depth.

The timing of the revelation is highly suspect, given that it came as tensions spiraled out of control between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama ahead of Netanyahu’s March 3 address in Congress, in which he warned against the dangers of Iran’s nuclear program and how the deal being formed on that program leaves the Islamic regime with nuclear breakout capabilities.

Another highly suspicious aspect of the document is that while the Pentagon saw fit to declassify sections on Israel’s sensitive nuclear program, it kept sections on Italy, France, West Germany and other NATO countries classified, with those sections blocked out in the document.

“Suspect”?  Are you kidding?

I’m truly thinking that our very own president is an anti-Semite.  Why?  Because actions speak oh-so-much louder than words.

Barack “Neville” Obamalain.

Obama Successful In Uniform

Obama: stuck on STUPID

Iran Nuke CartoonMr Obama is “stuck on stupid” with regard to his “negotiations” with Iran.  Perhaps I should rephrase: his capitulations regarding Iran.

When one negotiates, one hopes to acquire concessions from those with which you are bargaining.  Otherwise, it’s not a “negotiation,” it’s simply a surrender.

Furthermore, I would suggest that Mr Obama is not just stuck on stupid, he’s stuck on dangerous, for Israel as well as the United States.

Ripped from this weekend’s headlines, from the TimesofIsrael.com:

Khamenei calls ‘Death to America’ as Kerry hails progress on nuke deal

Day after Obama urges Iran to seize ‘historic opportunity,’ supreme leader says US seeks to create insecurity

Iran’s Supreme leader Ali Khamenei called for “Death to America” on Saturday, a day after President Barack Obama appealed to Iran to seize a “historic opportunity” for a nuclear deal and a better future, and as US Secretary of State John Kerry claimed substantial progress toward an accord.

I’m sure that Mr Obama will say that Iran didn’t really mean it.

And we’ll commit to lifting sanctions against Iran as well as allowing 6,000 centrifuges to continue spinning.  There will be no ballistic missile cuts for Iran.  And whatever limp-wristed deal gets cut sunsets in 10 to 15 years under ideal conditions.  Despite the fact that Iran has never once honored an agreement with the West, and in full consideration of Taqqiyah — never tell the truth to infidels, lie to them incessantly.

To continue on the path of negotiations in the face of these statements is insane.

Indeed, Mr Obama is the most dangerous man working against America extant.
