Obama and Iran Reach Agreement on Nuclear Weapons; Commentator Calls Deal "Pathetic"

BALTIMORE, Maryland July 15, 2015 - Bibi Netanyahu - wtthhout question the Bismarck of this age -  immediately blasted the so-called "nuclear weapons" deal that the USA reached Sunday in Vienna, Austria with Iran.  After years of what the Obama Administration calls "negotiations", the two nations reached the accord, then immediately raced to define what they had agreed to, which, if you listened to both, would have led you to believe that they had agreed to nothing at all.  Netanyahu used the exact same language to define the deal that he used before a Joint Session of the United States Congress in March.  "It is a bad deal," the distinguished Prime Minister of Israel said in the speech before Congress and again Monday.  Netanyahu gambled  his entire political career to make the March speech.  In it he pleaded with the United States not to enter the kind of deal that it now has agreed to.  In this disaster of a deal, the USA made concessions galore, including many it swore it would not make under any circumstances, all to get Iran's signature at the bottom of the accord's last page.  Iran's long and notorious history of financing Radical Islamic Terrorism defines is objectives and its world outlook, and this is precisely what dooms any outside chance this deal has of working.  Now, the only chance the United States has of stopping this absurdity before it opens the door to a nuclear holocaust is for Congress to vote it down.  But the Ding Dong leaders of the two legislative houses - Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell and Ohio Congressman John Beiner - have given away any real chance of that happening.  Under the U.S. Constitution, the Congress considers any international treaty and can vote it down and reject it by a simple majority.  No veto by the President is permitted.  But McConnell and Beiner, the Senate President and Speaker of the House, agreed to change the rules that will be used when the Congress takes up this accord.  Now, two-thirds of each house of the Congress must vote against the deal to stop it. While the GOP has decided margins in both houses, in neither do they have a two-thirds majority.  This means that to over-ride the certain Obama veto, some Democrats must vote with the GOP.  How many uber leftists do you know that are willing to do that?  (In case you don't pay attention to this kind of stuff, the answer to that question is 'there are no Congressional Democrats who are willing to put the good of the USA ahead of their devotion to Obama.

A commentator this morning called the deal "pathetic."  His was one of the most optimistic comments.  Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute (a Washington Think Tank) told a radio interviewer that the accord illustrates the shortcomings of Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry.  He had especially harsh words for Obama, who he charged with being a congenital liar.  The bootlickers in the media, however, lavished praise on Obama.  You can tell what these weak and aimless souls are up to by carefully reading what they write.  They use first person language when praising the deal, but, if they even attempt to balance their story, they will quote from someone else to give the otherside of the story.  They never use first person to criticize Obama.   When the only substantive part of a story is the reprehensible methods of Obama, you can imagine how vapid their reporting is.  And it is absolutely vapid when it attempts of "cover" the accord and what it actually means.

There is an excellant and extremely well-written opinion piece at the Fox News website by Peter Morici, which is entitled "Iran: Nuclear agreement will create an economic superpower with malevolent, anti-Western aspirations".  Morici is a literal genius.  He writes from the perspective that the deal will actually circumscribe Iran's ability to quickly build a nuclear weapon.  I do not agree with him, and I don't know if he believes that himself.  What his article does is explain why the deal will blow up in America's face, and when it does, why all of the usual avenues to address such a disasterous situation will be closed.  Read the article at: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/07/15/iran-nuclear-agreement-will-create-economic-superpower-with-malevolent-anti-western-aspirations.html
