Great. Unfortunately, my congressman is too much a thrall to Israel.

The sky isn t falling Why Benjamin Netanyahu has no credibility on the Iranian threat

When it comes to Iran and its nuclear program, Netanyahu is simply not a credible source. On no less than five separate occasions since 1992, he has warned that Iran was imminently within reach of a nuclear bomb, warnings that he has used to argue for a preemptive American strike. Each time his projected window ran out, he simply moved the date forward a couple years. Like the Friedman Unit during the Iraq War, Netanyahu has claimed that Iran is between one and seven years away from a nuclear weapon — for the past 23 years running.

 

[mudwhistle]

I remember when Bush landed in that S3 on that carrier. Liberals hated that. He looked like a great president, and liberals can't stand it when a Republican looks good. So they made up a story about the sign and patted themselves on the back for being clever. Never mind that their argument was based on outright lies. They fully intended to do the same to Netanyahu. They are so pissed that he didn't drool or suffer memory lapses. He didn't stop to take a drink of water. He didn't look like some limp wristed ****** or some lying shitforbrains.

We'll see what kind of bogus bs they come up with.

 

[bendog]

A bit of history for those that will ***** and moan about Iran's taking our embassy hostage.........Back in the 50's, Iran (Persia) had a duly elected president who, rightfully, wanted a share of the oil revenue that came out of its soil.....British Petroleum didn't like to share and DEMANDED that our CIA overthrow that government and placed instead the Shah who was more interested in bieng a European playboy......What was installed to keep the Iranians in check was the evil Savak (secret service) who tortured and killed any dissenters....Is it any wonder why, when the Shah was dying, that the Iranina revolution started? LEARN some history and THEN, judge.

Yet, there's a hint of he wanted to align the spice with the soviets. Perhaps not. But, in reality, it's history. The US has no interest with interfering with Iran's internal politics. In fact, they're helping us with ISIS. And, that's the whole point of diplomacy. Iran's leaders are not sociopaths, nor are they insane. They don't like us, and they hate Israel. But, they have probably the highest literacy rate outside Israel in the ME, appreciate modern medical care and science, and their leaders main interest is a strong economy with a populace that behaves in accordance with what they see as religious morals. Can we let them have what they have to have in exchange for not nuking the Zionists? That's the question.

If the US walks away from the possible agreement for ten years, the countries supporting the sanctions Hillary got will walk away from sanctions ... leaving one of two options: watch Iran finish a bomb or bomb them. From the US security standpoint the former might actually be safer than the latter.

Or do harsher sanctions and increased inspections.
We would not be in this predicament if this administration would be more for that, rather than being weak about it.
That's a 3rd option and the sanctions have been working.

I cant believe the stupidity of people falling for this speech.

I'm not sure they fall for the speech. It's Netanyahu who is more a question. I doubt any Americans, who want to avoid a settlement that would give ten years of certainty and then revisit Iran's intentions, consider the consequences of abandoning the negotiations. Now if Iran didn't take the deal, then we'd be in a position or arguing the sanctions should remain, and Iran is bleeding economically. But, if we walked away ... a different story. Iran actually has a pretty good case for wanting nuclear power: it's even cheaper than their oil and they have a huge baby boom generation that is economically depressed. Good luck getting France and the EU to support sanctions then.

But, Bibi knows this. It's like Putin, or any other for politician. He has an endgame to force or influence America's actions. He wants us to bomb Iran, or at the least give him greenlights and the bombs to do it himself. You'd probably find 25% of Americans who'd prefer that to a ten year deal.

I definitely read between the lines where he said "Israel ain't taking no shit no, more and if something isn't acomplished toot sweet, say goodby to Iran's nuke facilities." Heard it plain as day.

Bibi is chickenshit. If he can convince his Generals that a unilateral attack against a nation without nuclear bombs is in their interest, good luck. He'll be internationally more isolated than Putin if he does though.

Hey, it worked against Assad???

Or anyone who collects benefits.

 

[TemplarKormac]

The United States feels just as strongly about not letting Iran get the Bomb. Our two countries just have different ideas of how to achieve it.

What's more, it is not a foregone conclusion Iran would use the Bomb if they acquired one. We lived under the umbrella of a nuclear USSR, the world would not end with a nuclear Iran. Much of the pants-shitting over Iran is hyperbole.

Bibi is operating from political necessity. Iran is helping with ISIS. Bibi's legitimacy as PM for life depends upon him being the only one Israelis can trust to keep them safe. If Iran is not an imminent threat to Israel's survival (and it is not) then Bibi Raison d'etre doesn't exist.

That's why this was a political speech aimed at Israel.

We're not going to get other nations to support harsher sanctions if Iran will take a ten year deal.

You cannot make other nations act by wishing.

No, they just train them. KGB and FSB for instance.

Remember what Pat Paulsen used to state when he parodied running for president?......" Remember, the only thing to fear is fear itself.....and, of course, the boogey man..." I believe you fall into the latter set of "fears."

Train them to do what? Comes the time, Russia will tell iran how far they can go....there will be no negotiation.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Ongoing now. Tune it in.

He is describing the history of people trying to annihilate Jews, reciting quotes from Iran's recent leaders saying they want to do exactly that, pointing out example after example of Iran and other dictators reneging on their word to play nice and restrict their nuclear research... all in the last ten years.

He stated flatly that the greatest threat to the United STATES and Israel, and the rest of the world, is a marriage between a fanatic militant Jihadi state, and nuclear weapons.

Pointed out that just because Iran is helping us fight ISIS, that doesn't mean they are our friend. They and ISIS are competing for the title of Supreme Islamic Jihadi State. "If you defeat ISIS but let Iran get the Bomb, you win the battle but lose the war."

And he hasn't said a word about attacking Iran or any offensive military operations by the West.

Tune it in.

Why can't Western leaders be this cognizant and frank?

This scripture says it all concerning who attended the speech and who did not.
An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
Proverbs 28:27

Benjamin Netanyahu is a just man. The wicked despise him because he is an upright and just man. God is angry with the wicked every day.

 

[Little-Acorn]

Netanyahu compared and contrasted the regime in Iran, with the founding of the U.S.:

"The people of Iran are very talented people. They're heirs to one of the world's great civilizations. But in 1979, they were hijacked by religious zealots -- religious zealots who imposed on them immediately a dark and brutal dictatorship.

"That year, the zealots drafted a constitution, a new one for Iran. It directed the revolutionary guards not only to protect Iran's borders, but also to fulfill the ideological mission of jihad. The regime's founder, Ayatollah Khomeini, exhorted his followers to "export the revolution throughout the world."

"I'm standing here in Washington, D.C. and the difference is so stark. America's founding document promises life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Iran's founding document pledges death, tyranny, and the pursuit of jihad. And as states are collapsing across the Middle East, Iran is charging into the void to do just that."
