Obama can’t blame Netanyahu anymore for opposition to Iran nuke deal

Legal Insurrection

 

"The Obama administration and its supporters try to paint opposition to the Iran nuke deal as a Bibi Netanyahu problem.
. . .
"That’s a convenient excuse, because it allows Obama to play the Democrat loyal card among members still upset about Bibi’s appearance in Congress. It also plays into “Israel Lobby” demonization, the bogeyman of the left.
. . .

A similar tone was taken by Saudi Arabia, normally Israel’s enemy (though the two seem to have some tacit understandings when it comes to Iran), Saudi Prince Bandar: The U.S. nuclear pact with North Korea failed. The Iran deal is worse:

Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi ambassador to the United States between 1981 and 2005, has written a damning column in which he compares the Iran nuclear deal to the failed nuclear deal with North Korea — and concludes it will have even worse consequences.

Krauthammer: Obama’s Nuclear Deal with Iran: Worse than We Could Have Imagined

 

Charles Krauthammer. . . "Because Iran, joined by Russia — our “reset” partner — sprung the demand at the last minute, calculating that Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry were so desperate for a deal that they would cave. They did. And have convinced themselves that they scored a victory by delaying the lifting by five to eight years. (Ostensibly. The language is murky. The interval could be considerably shorter.) Obama claimed in his Wednesday news conference that it really doesn’t matter because we can always intercept Iranian arms shipments to, say, Hezbollah. But wait. Obama has insisted throughout that we are pursuing this Iranian diplomacy to avoid the use of force, yet now he blithely discards a previous diplomatic achievement — the arms embargo — by suggesting, no matter, we can just shoot our way to interdiction.  Read more

Guns in a gun-free zone

 

Ethel C. Fenig   "Bullet holes in the shattered glass doors of the military recruiting center in Chattanooga, Tennessee are a chilling reminder of the slaughter that happened there yesterday.

"Notice the sign on the door.  Bullet holes ironically surround the sign announcing that guns are prohibited in the facilities, emphasized by a slash through the gun.
  "Ah, that was inside the building.  But what about outside?  Would an alleged Muslim terrorist, intent on killing the hated enemy, really be deterred by a sign?  By a law banning guns?  Murder?  No!  And so the shooter, allegedly fasting as per the dictates of the Muslim observance of Ramadan, knew he had nothing to fear from America's unarmed finest – military personnel and recruits – as he blasted away outside.
"As the cliché has it, when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."

The unbelievable reasons why the Pentagon wants soldiers disarmed on bases

Obama: Islam promotes peace  Period.

Adina Kutnicki  Via  Conservative Bloggers on Facebook

. . . " At its core, “The Plan” is a detailed blueprint, one which the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood adheres to – and augments as necessary – to infiltrate and penetrate the west, but most intrinsically they are targeting America, the “Great Satan”. It is the main linchpin to the west’s fall.
“The Plan’s” basic goals are described thusly:

. . . Phase 1: Establishment of an elite Muslim leadership, while raising taqwa, or Islamic consciousness, in the Muslim community.
Phase 2: Creation of Islamic institutions the leadership can control, along with the formation of autonomous Muslim enclaves.
Phase 3: Infiltration and Islamization of America’s political, social, economic and educational systems, forming a shadow state within the state. Escalation of religious conversions to Islam.
Editor’s Note: One of the hot spots of conversion to Islam is America’s extensive system of prisons.
Phase 4: Openly hostile public confrontation over US policies, including rioting, and militant demands for special rights and accommodations for Muslims.
Phase 5: Final conflict and overthrow (jihad).

 

. . . "NOT only that, even highly placed associates are not immune to said outright warnings, to cease and desist. The following is merely one such example:

If you decide to get involved in protecting America and supporting Israel by writing articles, conducting counter-terrorism research, or by speaking publicly about the atrocities being committed everyday by Islamic terrorists around the world, you will almost certainly receive death threats and other threats often pertaining to your family.

. . . [William] Scanlon has sent several prominent U.S. counter-terrorism professionals threats against their lives and their families.  Scanlon says he is a Muslim.  Below is a partial email I received last week from Scanlon:

“Just imagine me or another Muslim f*****g your wife/daughter, Dave. Or imagine how life will be as we Muslims infiltrate America as we have been doing since 1776. That should get those gastric juices flowing. hehehehehehe”!….continue here…."

THE MUSLIM HOUSE: Here’s What The White House Celebrated the Day of TN Shooting

"This will make you sick to your stomach."

President Barack Obama sent a celebratory message to Muslims around the world on the White House Twitter account nearly two hours before his first tweet on the subject of four dead Marines killed by an Islamic gunman.
“From my family to yours, Eid Mubarak!” —@POTUS to Muslims celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr,” the White House tweeted. This message was tweeted at 4:48 p.m. according to the White House Twitter feed.

"A few minutes before the posting of this article, the White House tweeted a video message, shown below, calling the shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a “heartbreaking circumstance.” Others might call the incident “a terrorist attack.” This message was tweeted at 6:08 p.m. according to the White House Twitter feed."  Read more: Breitbart

"Obama’s Own Adviser Just Admitted Something About Iran Deal He NEVER Wanted Public"

 I know; the headline reads like a supermarket tabloid cover, but let's see. 

Western Journalism
" A stunning example of a spin-to-win effort that's an EPIC fail..."

. . . " Rice, though, used the euphemism “bad behavior” instead of terrorism; just as her boss, Obama, has refused to utter the phrase “Islamic terrorism.”

“ 'National Security Adviser Susan Rice said ‘we should expect’ that some of the money Iran gets under sanctions relief as a result of the nuclear deal ‘would go to the Iranian military and could potentially be used for the kinds of bad behavior that we have seen in the region’ on Wednesday’s ‘Situation Room’ on CNN,” says Breitbart.

"Experts have estimated that some $100-150 billion in Iranian assets have been frozen in the international banking system and are expected to be thawed under the terms of the deal for which the Obama administration continues to take a protracted victory lap. In her interview with CNN, Rice essentially said “so what” about the potential use of those funds to help Iran militarily:" . . .

Exposing Iran Deal Is Congress' Most Important Job In History

IBD Editorial   . . . "Then comes debate on the House and Senate floors, and finally a vote. Even short of two- thirds majorities — that is, all Republicans and some Democrats — will make it clear Americans oppose this deal.
Granted, public opposition didn't stop Obama on ObamaCare. But mushroom clouds are a bigger attention-getter than skyrocketing health care premiums.

A couple if minor details on the Iran deal press conference

 

Obama Official Lied On Iran Deal: “We Never Sought ‘Anytime Anywhere’ Inspections”

Video; "Three months ago during a discussion about a possible nuclear deal with Iran, Deputy White House National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said that the United States would require inspection access “anywhere and anytime.”   . . .
"Really? Because on Tuesday, he told the same network that “we never sought, in this negotiation, the capacity for so-called ‘anytime, anywhere’ where you could go basically anywhere in the country.' ”  There's that term "snap back" again.

CBS reporter shrugs off 'spanking' by Obama 

 Obama values an American deserter/traitor more than 4 innocent Americans held hostage by Iran. . . "Left behind were four innocent American hostages imprisoned by the regime for years.  On Wednesday, CBS White House correspondent Major Garrett asked about them.  Barack Obama, the snarkiest, most thin-skinned president in American history, lashed out – not at the Iranians, but at the temerity of Garrett for daring to ask him the question."

PHOTOS: Protesters Welcome Obama To Oklahoma With Confederate Flags

TPM

 

"Supporters of the Confederate flag rallied Wednesday in Oklahoma as President Barack Obama arrived in the state for a series of events, including the first ever visit to a federal prison by a sitting President."

"About 10 people waving Confederate battle flags were among the crowd that gathered Wednesday night outside the Oklahoma City hotel where Obama was expected to stay, according to a White House pool report. One person waved an American flag and another held up a pro-Obama sign, the report noted.

"Protesters also gathered earlier in the day near Durant, Oklahoma before Obama arrived at a local high school to deliver remarks on a program expanding high-speed Internet access, according to local TV station KFOR.
