Iran Nuclear Talks - WHAT Are They ?

[protectionist]

History will probably label the Iran nuclear talks as one of the most idiotic political endeavors of all time, ever engaged in by high level govt officials.

Here's my take on this fiasco. Obama, Kerry, and the others have been painting this thing as a deal that would have Iran agree to not build nuclear weapons. Anybody that would believe that to be the case might be ready to see a psychiatrist. Iran does not now, nor have they ever, nor will they ever agree to not build nuclear weapons (and actually mean it).

What this thing appears to be is Obama trying to make some kind of a deal, that can bolster his legacy later on, to say that he made a deal to stop Iran's nuclear weapon development, but (when the Iranians of course renege) that the Iranians are at fault for that, not him.

From the Iranians perspective, they are simply trying to get sanctions reduced, which will allow them to proceed faster and more efficiently to develop their bombs. And if they can get Kerry and the others to be idiotic enough to accept an "agreement" (without allowing inspections), while still reducing sanctions, they will have succeeded.

I think everyone at that table knows this, and when you see them on TV, the Iranians are all smiling and smirking, while the US side is frowning, and looking like they wish they were at the beach (or anywhere but in that room).

So, what do you all think ? How would you define this......this......I don't even know what to call it.

It's pretty simple....

It's Obama's plan to let Iran cheat and get nuclear weapons, and give them $11.9 BILLION to jerk our chain...

Obama to Award Iran 11.9 Billion Through End of Nuke Talks D.C. Watchdog

The Obama administration on Wednesday paid $490 million in cash assets to Iran and will have released a total of $11.9 billion to the Islamic Republic by the time nuclear talks are scheduled to end in June, according to figures provided by the State Department.

Today’s $490 million release, the third such payment of this amount since Dec. 10, was agreed to by the Obama administration under the parameters of another extension in negotiations over Tehran’s contested nuclear program that was inked in November.

Iran will receive a total of $4.9 billion in unfrozen cash assets via 10 separate payments by the United States through June 22, when talks with Iran are scheduled to end with a final agreement aimed at curbing the country’s nuclear work, according to a State Department official.

Iran received $4.2 billion in similar payments under the 2013 interim agreement with the United States and was then given another $2.8 billion by the Obama administration last year in a bid to keep Iran committed to the talks through November, when negotiators parted ways without reaching an agreement.

Iran will have received a total of $11.9 billion in cash assets by the end of June if current releases continue on pace as scheduled.

The release of this money has drawn outrage from some Republican lawmakers who filed legislation last year to prevent the release of cash due to a lack of restrictions on how Iran can spend the money.

These cash payments by the United States have been made with no strings attached, prompting concerns that Iran could use the funds to finance its worldwide terror operations, which include the financial backing of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other rogue entities.

This is horrifying. What in the world does anybody think they are doing, giving money to Iran ?

Can nothing be done to stop this screwball in the White House ? The legislation that the Republicans filed should not have been about restrictions on how Iran can spend the money. There should not be any money given to Iran at all. How could anybody come up with such a crazy idea ?

As long as the US maintains a nuclear arsenal, they have NO credibility or right to demand another country not obtain them.

We have that right when you're talking about a bunch of nutcases that are sponsoring terrorists.
