Obama: Partisanship Over Iran Nuclear Deal Has Gone Too Far

[Missourian]

President Barack Obama said Saturday that partisan wrangling over the emerging nuclear agreement with Iran and on other foreign policy matters has gone beyond the pale, singling out two senior Republican senators for particularly harsh criticism. "It needs to stop," he declared.

Obama Says Partisanship Over Iran Nuclear Deal Has Gone Too Far - NBC News
​

Translation: Dissent is only patriotic when a Republican is president. So shut up! You have the right to free speech when I SAY you have the right to free speech, and right now your free speech is highlighting the fact that I am an incompetent dunce. That "needs to stop"!

[Antares]

Fuck him, he needs to deal with what Khameni is saying.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Who should we believe? The President that has lied to us repeatedly , the Secretary of State that has lied to us repeatedly, or the Leader of the Count\ry they claim they made a deal with? A leader that DENIES any deal was struck and claims that the fact sheet released is a pack of lies?

 

[Katzndogz]

He doesn't hear what Khomeni is saying.

The Rs writing that letter committed treason. If not in fact, most certainly in spirit. They were actively aiding and abetting an enemy of the US. They openly strengthened Iran's position and gave them tacit permission to build nukes.

Their goal was to sabotage, undermine and weaken the US. Indeed, that's the goal of almost everything the right does.

"Partisanship" What a moron, Obama still thinks everything is about him. Most dems in congress are just as concerned about this farce as the Republicans

You;re an idiot. Like that's news.
The letter did nothing but inform Iran of the provisions of the US COnstitution in regards to treaties. Something Obama seems not to understand himself.
As for Obama: He looks like the world's biggest chump. He invested all kinds of time and political capital to get a deal with Iran, only to have Khamanei piss all over it and throw it back in his face. He has accomplished nothing. No deal, no reining in Iran's nuclear ambitions, no strengthening of the US. Nothing. Obama is the worst negotiator in world history. Neville Chamberlain was a used car salesman compared to this guy.

The right was putting Iran on notice that the selling out by Obama and other democrats would NOT stand.

It is entertaining for the rest of us though, in an amazed sort of double face palm way.

But I can understand why many of you think Iran will not honour the deal, after all the US blatantly violates the NPT and doesn't twitch an eyebrow.

Yes the US is the problem. Tell us.
Iran had no intention of honoring any deal. They were playing Obama for time, which he gladly gave them. He will go back and give them even more time. Right up until they explode a nuclear device. Then he'll go to the UN and whine.

 

[cnm]

Well you would know, seeing the US facilitated Pakistan obtaining its nuclear device, in contravention of the NPT. Except I didn't see any whining to the UN. Funny that.

edit...Even funnier is that the US is currently helping Pakistan modernise its arsenal. Side splitting don't you think?

Sounds like a good argument for keeping sanctions in place until Iran complies. Don't trust...verify. Then remove sanctions.

Blow it out your ass moron.....the only one committing treason is obama.......he is empowering all of the bad guys in the world and weakening the one force for good that has kept them all in check......name one criminal regime he hasn't embraced...one terrorist group he hasn't helped get stronger through his policies.......

Don't trust at all....crush them by getting other countries to increase the sanctions, kill their terrorists wherever they pop up around the world....and arm anyone who fights against Iran........

Yeah, I noticed you left out the link to where Iran had no intention of honouring the deal.

Anyway:

Pakistan’s Nuclear Weapons: Proliferation and Security Issues

http://fas.org/sgp/crs/nuke/RL34248.pdf

The United States reportedly offered nuclear security assistance to Pakistan soon after September11, 2001. U.S. assistance to Islamabad, which must comply with nonproliferation guidelines, as reportedly included the sharing of best practices and technical measures to prevent unauthorized or accidental use of nuclear weapons, as well as contribute to physical security of storage facilities and personnel reliability. As noted above, Islamabad employs a system requiring that at least two, and perhaps three, people authenticate launch codes for nuclear weapons. Security at nuclear sites in Islamabad is the responsibility of a 10,000-member security force, commanded by a two-star general. Former Pakistani military officials have said Pakistan has developed Permissive Action Links (PALs) for its warheads without U.S. assistance. PALs require a code to be entered before a weapon can be detonated.

Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage confirmed in a November 2007 interview that there has been U.S. assistance in this area, explaining that the United States was unlikely to intervene militarily in a crisis in Pakistan because “we have spent considerable time with the Pakistani military, talking with them and working with them on the security of their nuclear weapons. I think most observers would say that they are fairly secure. They have pretty sophisticated mechanisms to guard the security of those.”

Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, former Director of the Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence at the U.S. Department of Energy, pointed out in May 2009 that “there’s not a lot of transparency into” how Islamabad spends the U.S. funds, but he nevertheless characterized them as “money well spent.”

How the U.S. Has Secretly Backed Pakistan’s Nuclear Program From Day One​

How the U.S. Has Secretly Backed Pakistan s Nuclear Program From Day One CounterPunch Tells the Facts Names the Names


Now comes word from inside the Obama government that little has changed. “Most of the aid we’ve sent them over the past few years has been diverted into their nuclear program,” a senior national security official in the current administration recently told me. Most of this diverted aid — $5.56 billion as of a year ago – was officially designated “Coalition Support Funds” for Pakistani military operations against the Taliban. It may be that this diversion came as a terrible shock to Washington, but the money has been routinely handed over essentially without accounting being required from the Pakistanis. The GAO has huffed at items such as the $30 million shelled out for non-existent roads, of the $1.5 million for “naval vehicles damaged in combat” but that was as far as public complaints went. In the meantime, as Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mullen confirmed recently, the Pakistanis have been urgently increasing their nuclear weapons production.​

A former national security official with knowledge of the policy explained this insouciance to me. “We want to get in there and manage [their nuclear program]. If we manage it, we can make sure they don’t start testing, or start a war.” In other words, the U.S. is helping the Pakistanis to modernize their nuclear arsenal in hopes that the U.S. will thereby gain a measure of control. The official aim of U.S. technical support, at an estimated cost of $100 million a year, is to render the Pakistani weapons safer, i.e., less likely to go off if dropped, and more “secure”, meaning out of the reach of our old friends the extremists. ​

The traitors put the interests of the oil monopoly over country. Big Oil does not want sanctions lifted because Iran needs money and all they have is oil, so they will flood the world market with oil if sanctions are lifted driving the price of crude oil to around $20 per barrel.
