Obama's legacy

 U.S. Will Teach Iran to Thwart Nuke Threats  " The United States and other world powers will help to teach Iran how to thwart and detect threats to its nuclear program, according to the parameters of a deal reached Tuesday to rein in Iran’s contested nuclear program." . . .

"This will include “training courses and workshops to strengthen Iran’s ability to prevent, protect and respond to nuclear security threats to nuclear facilities and systems as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems,” according to the text.

"Additional “training and workshops” would work to “strengthen Iran’s ability to protect against, and respond to nuclear security threats, including sabotage, as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems,” the text states." . . .
How very shameful; If this is all true, we have become the Vichy French of today.*

 

 Vichy France:

*. . . As soon as it had been established, Pétain's government took measures against the so-called “undesirables”: Jews, métèques (immigrants), Freemasons, Communists — inspired by Charles Maurras' conception of the “Anti-France”, or “internal foreigners”, which Maurras defined as the “four confederate states of Protestants, Jews, Freemasons and foreigners” — but also Gypsies, homosexuals, and, in a general way, any left-wing activist. Vichy imitated the racial policies of the Third Reich and also engaged in natalist policies aimed at reviving the “French race”, although these policies never went as far as the eugenics program implemented by the Nazis." . . .

Iran's Supreme Leader Posts Photo of Himself Trampling Israeli Flag: 'The Zionist Regime Is Doomed'. . . "Commenting on the decision to post the photo and caption at this time, Rubin wrote on the AEI blog, “So much for peace and so much for ‘Dialogue of Civilizations.’”

“ 'But why should Israel worry?” he continued. “After all, President Obama has made Israel’s security a red-line, and when are Obama’s red-lines not to be believed? (Full-disclosure: I tried to ask some Ukrainians this, but the Russians occupying their country had cut the phone lines, and all the Syrians I sought to contact had been displaced by Bashar al-Assad’s chemical weapons use).' ” . . .

 "Obama “exceeded expectations,” and still managed to make a mess."
"As NBC News senior political editor Mark Murray points out, the fact that Obama and Hillary have discussed the deal, and come out in full-throated support of it, means that it’s almost outside the scope of possibility that there will be enough congressional democrats ready to turn their coats and derail the thing.

"Of note: Clinton’s initial reaction hedged against full-throated support…"

California gun store owner pulls Confederate flag after receiving death threats
 "Now, a sign on the business says in all caps: "WE CAN NO LONGER FLY OUR CONFEDERATE FLAG DUE TO THE SO CALLED 'TOLERANT' LIBERALS THREATENING THE STAFF AND THIS BUILDING." Shockley says there are no plans to put the flag back up."  Jeb Bush seems to agree.
Chutzpah alert: Those giving the threats called the store owner "intolerant".

Trust and have Obama verify

Iranians Are Euphoric After Nuclear Deal Reached   Meanwhile Obama said, ". . .  that he will “veto any legislation that prevents the successful implementation of this deal.”
“ 'I welcome a robust debate in Congress on this issue, and I welcome scrutiny of the details of this
agreement,” Obama said. “But I will remind Congress that you don’t make deals like this with your friends.”
"Obama said that the deal “is not built on trust, it is built on verification.' ”

Netanyahu says Iran nuclear deal 'a bad mistake of historic proportions'   "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," the premier said.
. . . "The prime minister, coming under withering criticism from the opposition for what is being termed a colossal failure on his part to stop the agreement, called for Israel's political leaders to put party politics aside and unite around a most fateful issue for Israel's future and security."
. . .  “ 'It is impossible to prevent an agreement when the negotiators are willing to make more and more concessions to those who chant ‘Death to America’ even during the negotiations,” he said."

Defense minister reiterated his warnings over the Islamic Republic regional aggression, describing it as "the world’s leading exporter of terror."

Reaction To Historic Deal To Curb Iran’s Nuclear Program 

 The agreement hangs on Islamic Iran's honoring agreements with infidels
. . . "This shows that the president's claims about what is in this agreement won't stand up against what Iran believes is in it. That much is certain. There is a fundamental difference between the two sides about an understanding of what the deal says. This isn't exactly unprecedented. Nuclear deals with the Soviet Union were often marked by differences of opinion over some of the details." . . .

Obama Vows Veto of Congressional Iran Disapproval: ‘You Don’t Make Deals Like This with Your Friends’ . . .The deal, which lasts up to 10 years and is nearly 100 pages long, gives Tehran the right to challenge UN inspections of its nuclear program. An arbitration board, including an Iranian representative, would decide if access is granted.Iran said sanctions will be repealed, while the P5+1 powers said old sanctions will be repealed but they’ll impose new ones.

"The arms embargo that Iran wanted lifted will sunset after five years and could be lifted earlier if the International Atomic Energy Agency certifies they’re not developing nuclear weapons." . . .

Historic Iran Nuclear Deal Today, Even More Historic — and Terrible — Reckoning to Come
 . . . "So, yes indeed, this deal is historic. It is historic in ways that, for instance, President Obama’s 2009 chairing of a United Nations Security Council meeting on freeing the world of nuclear weapons was not (does anyone even remember that UN summit? It was the first time an American  president had stooped to chair a meeting of the UN Security Council; it did absolutely nothing to stop nuclear proliferation).

Political Cartoons by Bob Gorrell
"This deal is an historic disaster. Not only does it legitimize Iran’s nuclear program, but it goes far to confer legitimacy on Iran’s regime — the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. For the U.S., it’s a variation of running up massive U.S. government debt, and leaving the next American president — as well as America’s people, and our allies — to face the real cost. Which in this case involves nuclear weapons."


And when the deal falls apart, Obama will be going public with the claim that he left a peaceful world that was ruined by the later administration. He has spent years blaming his failures on George Bush, isn't it obvious that he will blame following administrations as well?

" They could all be confronted. But by the Obama administration? "


. . . "If this administration is not careful, by next year it may find ISIS at the gates of Baghdad, Russian forces massing on the border of Estonia, Japan and China shooting at each other over disputed air and sea space, and Iran stockpiling its growing enriched-uranium supplies for a not too distant multi-bomb nuclear rollout.
 
"We think the world is growing tense; in fact, it is only the calm before the storm."
