Reading list: Obama’s The Victim, Iran Is a Tiny, No, Wait, Big Country, They Don’t Pose A Threat, OK, Maybe They Do

"President Obama is the victim in the rift between Israelis and his office.

“ 'The deep affinities I feel for the Jewish people, the Israeli people…it’s hard for me,” Obama told Tom Friedman in an interview this weekend. If it’s hard on him, it’s really hard on Israel – they’re not feeling the love.

" The president said he is deeply disturbed by the Iranian rhetoric but they want to be part of the international community. That’s not obvious to most who are paying attention. Friday morning prayers began with “Death to America” and on Saturday, there were “Down with America – Israel – Saudi Arabia” chants.

"On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the Iranians contradicted the fact sheet put out by the State Department, most notably the sanctions portion." . . .

Can Obama Keep Democrats Together on Iran?  . . . " But the first test for Obama is making sure that his own party doesn’t scuttle the deal — by providing enough votes to override a presidential veto on bipartisan legislation scrutinizing the deal.” . . .

Obama is no Neville Chamberlain   But that isn't a good thing.   But let’s remember that Hitler never chanted “Death to Britain.”  Hitler had not organized terrorist attacks on British forces, nor were his proxies killing civilians across the world.  He did not proclaim that the annihilation of a British ally was “non-negotiable.”  And he was not a militant believer in a political religion whose followers had twice invaded and ravaged Europe, a religion whose followers today profess their disdain for Western values and Western culture.

Victor Davis Hanson has another take on this very comparison

"Once again our leaders are needlessly appeasing a hostile state that shows them nothing but contempt."

. . . " Our dishonor in Lausanne, as with Munich, may avoid a confrontation in the present, but our shame will guarantee a war in the near future."

Iran: US agreed to immediate lift of sanctions " Earlier this week, Barack Obama committed the United States to a disastrous course of action that ensures the terrorist state of Iran will be allowed, with Western assistance, to build a nuclear weapon. I outlined how Obama lied to the nation about the deal and how the Iranians, themselves, accused Obama of lying about the deal."

A translation of the Iranian version of the agreement is available and to a great extent one has to question whether the United States and Iran were even attending the same meeting.

Munich, Anyone? Obama’s Iran Agreement in Translation

As with Obama's prevarication on ObamaCare, " Obama again believes it is best for us, but if we are to believe Amir Taheri (and I do), this “agreement” (that the Iranians are calling merely a press release) is understood completely differently by both parties.  We have been told another series of lies in order to get something passed — or in this case not to oppose it. 
"Only there is one huge difference. Obamacare is reversible.  Nuclear armageddon is not."
