Obama Finally Averts World War III with Iran Nuclear Deal
The ongoing negotiations for a nuclear deal have been in extra innings for two weeks now, as both sides sought to convince their domestic audiences that they are driving the hardest possible bargain.
On Tuesday morning, President Obama took yet another stroll down “BFD Boulevard” to announce, from the East Room of the White House, that the United States and its international partners have reached a final agreement with Iran to claw back its attempt to create a nuclear weapon. In a fifteen-minute speech, the President laid out the contours of the deal, which include a 98% reduction in Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, the removal of two-thirds of Iran’s centrifuges and accompanying infrastructure, 24/7 monitoring of those components, and permanent IAEA inspections. He also laid out the most clear reasoning for giving the deal a chance and, inadvertently, explained why it is that Iran is most likely to comply with the non-proliferation treaty in the future (video via Digitas Daily):
“Many times, in multiple countries, I have decided to use force. I will never hesitate to do so when it is in our national security interest. I strongly believe that our national security interest now depends upon preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. which means that without a diplomatic resolution, neither I nor a future U.S. president would face a decision about whether or not to allow Iran to obtain them nuclear weapon, or whether to use the military to stop it. No deal means a greater chance of more war in the middle east. We give nothing up by testing whether or not this problem can be solved peacefully. If Iran violates the deal, the same options available to me today will be available to any U.S. president in the future, and I have no doubt that 10 or 15 years from now, the person who holds this office will be in a far stronger position with Iran further from a weapon, and with the inspections and transparency that allow us to monitor the Iranian program.”

Can not wait to hear the spin on this by the right, on T.V. like Trump, when he was actually foaming at the mouth while giving his hateful speech on illegals.

Republicans will, of course, preen for the television cameras, but remember that right before the conclusion of this deal the Republican held senate inexplicably surrendered its constitutional authority to approve and disapprove of treaties to Obama. Hence, while they may preen for the television cameras, don’t fool yourself as they quietly behind the scenes also support this deal as much as Obama.

With Muslims who have a fundamental holy obligation according to the doctrines of Islam to wage jihad against all infidels in the world in the cause of Allah to ultimately make Islam and therefore its followers supreme throughout the world. Yeah right.
tracey marie July 14th, 2015 at 14:12
your kind are the extremists in our country and are hell bent on creating war, daeth and racism as the national religion.
Space Cowboy July 14th, 2015 at 14:31
I’m an extremists? Who inculcated you to believe that garbage? Lets just say I’m not delusional. Tell me…can you even think for yourself or do you always spew what you have been inculcated to believe.
By the way, don’t look now but the entire Islamic totalitarian world is waging jihad (holy war) against all infidels in the world to ultimately make Islam and therefore its followers supreme throughout the world. Do you want to convert to Islam and surrender your freedom at the same time?
Of course, Marxism, the ideology you obviously support, is totalitarian to the core as well. Thus, it may not make any difference to you.

Obama averts nuclear World War III? He is averting Iran about as much as Bill Clinton averted North Korea from acquiring nuclear weapons. In other words, Obama is paving their path to the acquisition of nuclear weapons and simultaneously at the same time the path also for the Sunni Islamic totalitarian world to acquire nuclear weapons in response to Shi’a Iran and also the means in which to destroy the infidel world.
Our only hope now as a consequence is for tiny Israel to employ nuclear weapons in self-defense against Iran because it is now a kill or be killed scenario. Which may have been Obama’s intention all along?
William July 14th, 2015 at 13:44
“Obama is paving their path to the acquisition of nuclear weapons”
Uh no.
Iran was introduced to nuclear technology by a company called Halliburton.

William July 14th, 2015 at 14:26
Yeah I guess we all imagined the whole Iran Contra thing.
Right wing logic.
Reagan a hero for giving weapons to Iran
Obama a criminal for keeping Iran from developing weapons.
BTW, an awful lot of people spent a lot of time in court for an incident that you dismiss.
Caspar Weinberger, Secretary of Defense, was indicted on two counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice on June 16, 1992. Weinberger received a pardon from George H. W. Bush on December 24, 1992, before he was tried.
William Casey, Head of the CIA. Thought to have conceived the plan, was stricken ill hours before he would testify. Reporter Bob Woodward reported Casey knew of and approved the plan.
Robert C. McFarlane, National Security Adviser, convicted of withholding evidence, but after a plea bargain was given only two years of probation. Later pardoned by President George H. W. Bush.
Elliott Abrams, Assistant Secretary of State, convicted of withholding evidence, but after a plea bargain was given only two years probation. Later pardoned by President George H. W. Bush.
Alan D. Fiers, Chief of the CIA’s Central American Task Force, convicted of withholding evidence and sentenced to one year probation. Later pardoned by President George H. W. Bush.
Clair George, Chief of Covert Ops-CIA, convicted on two charges of perjury, but pardoned by President George H. W. Bush before sentencing.
Oliver North, member of the National Security Council convicted of accepting an illegal gratuity, obstruction of a congressional inquiry, and destruction of documents, but the ruling was overturned since he had been granted immunity.
Fawn Hall, Oliver North’s secretary, was given immunity from prosecution on charges of conspiracy and destroying documents in exchange for her testimony.
Jonathan Scott Royster, Liaison to Oliver North, was given immunity from prosecution on charges of conspiracy and destroying documents in exchange for his testimony.
National Security Advisor John Poindexter was convicted of five counts of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, perjury, defrauding the government, and the alteration and destruction of evidence. The Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that overturned these convictions.
Duane Clarridge. An ex-CIA senior official, he was indicted in November 1991 on seven counts of perjury and false statements relating to a November 1985 shipment to Iran. Pardoned before trial by President George H. W. Bush.
Richard V. Secord. Ex-major general in the Air Force who organized the Iran arms sales and Contra aid. He pleaded guilty in November 1989 to making false statements to Congress and was sentenced to two years of probation.
Albert Hakim. A businessman, he pleaded guilty in November 1989 to supplementing the salary of North by buying a $13,800 fence for North with money from “the Enterprise”, which was a set of foreign companies Hakim used in Iran-Contra. In addition, Swiss company Lake Resources Inc., used for storing money from arms sales to Iran to give to the Contras, plead guilty to stealing government property.[83] Hakim was given two years of probation and a $5,000 fine, while Lake Resources Inc. was ordered to dissolve.[
Space Cowboy July 14th, 2015 at 15:21
Yeah I guess we all imagined the whole Iran Contra thing.
Right wing logic.
Well then…why could they never convict him?
Obama a criminal for keeping Iran from developing weapons.
Oh get out of here. Obama’s a liar. Just like he lied through his teeth about his Obamacare disaster, he is lying through his teeth again about Iran, because this deal will not only pave the path for Shi’a Iran to acquire nukes but also for the Sunni Islamic totalitarian world as well.
With respect to the rest of your garbage, if any of your nonsense is true, then why no convictions? I mean that moron conducting the investigation kept the investigations open forever, but for some reason, I don’t know maybe he was just incompetent or something, he never came up with any convictions that counted. What’s the deal?
This is America and in America everyone is presumed innocent until convicted and proven guilty. When were there any convictions that counted? Indeed, this trial was a star chamber and a show trial conducted by the Dhimmicrat Party for political reasons, and it needless to say failed miserably. Yet that’s what you pull out to justify Obama’s ignominious surrender? Give me a break. You are beyond weak.
Moreover, not only does it not have anything to do with Obama’s surrender to Iran, but it also doesn’t justify it as well. Indeed, in the end we will all suffer the inevitable consequences together and whether we like it or not.
William July 14th, 2015 at 17:11
138 members of the Reagan administration were convicted of crimes.
You should learn something about our history
Space Cowboy July 15th, 2015 at 00:43
Actually, according to your own statistics, although there were 138 indictments, there were only 32 convictions. Which is a mere pittance compared to the Clinton and Obama administrations. Meanwhile, a ham sandwich can be indicted you gullible flake.
William July 15th, 2015 at 02:09
32 convictions in one administration compared to Zero in THIS administration.
Using simple math Reagan was 32 times more corrupt than Obama.
Thanks for playing Goober.
William July 14th, 2015 at 17:32
I cannot possibly address your idiotic rant without laughing myself into tears. So let me just address one point.
Obamacare
1. debated and approved by the legislature in accordance with our Constitution.
2. Signed into law by the duly and legally elected President of these United States…in accordance with the Constitution.
3. Reaffirmed by the re-election of President Obama.
4 Upheld by the Supreme court of these United States TWICE.
5. Survived some 60 attempts to repeal it.
I rather enjoy watching you simmer in your butthurt bile stew, but the reality is simple.
If you don’t like our system of Government, you can simply emigrate.
BTW did you miss the part about the Reagan era corruption.
138 indictments, 32 solid convictions.
Reading and google is your friend
Space Cowboy July 15th, 2015 at 00:44
debated and approved by the legislature in accordance with our Constitution.
No not the legislature, by the Congress, but without one single Republican vote. Not a single one.
Signed into law by the duly and legally elected President of these United States…in accordance with the Constitution.
Come on this President is the first imperial President of the USA, as he has worked diligently to not only bypass the Congress and hence the will of the people continuously throughout his presidency, but also to undermine the constitution every step of the way.
Indeed, Obama, as all Marxist totalitarian leftists, hates the constitution with a passion because it constrains him. Like you, he is a self-hating Marxist totalitarian loon who is deliberately doing everything he possibly can to destroy America. That’s what he meant by transforming America. He is trying to transform it into a third world country.
Meanwhile, you are a citizen of this country too and you too will have to inevitably suffer the consequences. Yet, you are so self-hating that you actually support his insanity. Which begs the question, exactly how unhinged are you?
In any event, point to just one Marxist country that has ever been successful in the history of the world. America became the greatest country the world has ever seen, but it didn’t happen via Marxism. Indeed, it happened via Capitalism, freedom, and liberty.
You moonbats have been inculcated to hate the rich, but a rising tide nonetheless lifts all boats. As a matter of fact, history is literally littered with failed Marxist states. You can’t deny that. Indeed, the continents of Africa and South America have been basket cases for decades exactly because of Marxism. Yet, you support Obama. You support Marxism.
Upheld by the Supreme court of these United States TWICE.
Not upheld. Rewritten twice by Chief Justice John Roberts, which in and of itself is utterly unconstitutional. Hence, 5 unelected judges not only circumvented the constitution but also over-ruled the overwhelming will of the American people. Yet, you somehow call that democracy. That’s totalitarianism in my book.
Moreover, it’s a complete and utter disaster. Contrary to what Obama and the Dhimmicrats had all promised, people’s insurance rates and deductibles have skyrocketed and that skyrocketing of insurance rates and deductibles will accelerate astronomically in the very near future.
Not to mention as well, that the cost to the federal government is two to three times higher than what Obama and the Dhimmicrats claimed it would be, and will also rise dramatically for as far as the eyes can see.
And forget about keeping your doctors. Not to mention that the author of Obamacare admitted that they deliberately deceived the people to get this crammed down their throat.
Meanwhile, those people that do have it can’t use it, because their deductibles are too high.
It’s also killing the job market while former full time workers are now finding themselves part time workers thanks to Obamacare.
As a matter of fact, there is in excess of 93 million people in this country currently out of the work force because of Obamacare and Obama’s Marxist totalitarian economic policies, as the percentage of people out of the work force today hasn’t been this high since that idiot Jimmy Carter was last in office. Indeed, the Obama administration is cooking the books big time with respect to job creation numbers and unemployment rates. You’d have to be a mental retard to believe their numbers. Not to mention that the public’s median income has dropped every year of his presidency.
Meanwhile, Obama’s new burdensome rules and regulations placed on business and industry is causing a mass exodus of businesses and industry overseas along with their jobs. If everybody is out of the work force and business and industry is leaving in droves, then who is going to pay for your food stamps, your welfare checks, your free Obama phone, your public housing, your public transportation, your Obamacare, etc., etc., etc. No one! The system will utterly collapse.
You see it’s like this…if you want to live on food stamps, welfare, Obamacare, free public housing, free public transportation, free Obama phones, etc., etc., etc. vote for Dhimmicrats and Obama. On the other hand, if you would prefer to live in dignity and have a good paying job, with excellent benefits, a nice home with nice vehicles, some recreational vehicles, be able to go eat out and go to the movies occasionally, and also take vacations, well then vote for conservatives.
It all depends on your outlook on life. It’s up to you. I mean it’s your vote. Do what you want. I could care less. Nevertheless, again this country didn’t become the greatest country the world has ever seen via Marxism. It happened via Capitalism, freedom, and liberty instead.
Survived some 60 attempts to repeal it.
BS…no one ever tried to repeal it, although the American people overwhelmingly support its repeal. Certainly not the pathetic and feckless Republicans in Congress. You’re delusional.
If you don’t like our system of Government, you can simply emigrate.
You are right, I don’t like the fact that our constitution and our government has been hijacked and coopted by a bunch of radical Marxist totalitarians, because I know where that inevitably leads. Indeed, the world is littered with failed Marxist totalitarian states.
We had a perfectly fine country until it became hijacked by the Marxist totalitarian left, which is why this country is currently in very steep decline. Today the state exist for itself as it has morphed into a tyranny and it will only get worse from here on out if it isn’t curtailed. Indeed, be aware of what you wish for you flake, because it may just come true.
Meanwhile, how did this travesty occur? Via mass immigration of people from the third world incompatible with our values and traditions that have been inculcated cradle to grave to hate capitalism and to love Marxism exactly like you. You guys celebrate it as die-versity, but die-versity is really a divide and conquer strategy from within.
BTW did you miss the part about the Reagan era corruption.
Give me a break you flake, Reagan is the greatest President of the 20th century and is also one of the top three greatest Presidents of all time along with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in American history. Apparently, you have been inculcated into becoming a self-hating loon via revisionist history, propaganda, and innuendo. Thus, like Obama you also hate America and everything it stands for with a passion. Indeed, it sucks to be you.
Reading and google is your friend
It kind of depends on what you read. You can read junk or you can read truth. You choose to read junk, and then swallow it like it is crack cocaine. Obviously, an average IQ isn’t your strong point. Adhering to group think is though.

So when will Obama’s people get indicted?
Ok lets see Skippy.
Benghazi, lawsuits, threats of impeachment, more Benghazi, threats of succession, Fox fed birther b*llshit, and an endless supply of threats, conspiracy theories and accusations. And still
nothing.
Nadda,

Zilch.
So you tell me Skippy, after 7 years, if you and that cadre of right wing idiots you worship can’t find anything to indict anyone with, I think it’s fairly clear that you’re just a bunch of butthurt whiners.
In the meantime enjoy this little tidbit of American history…

“so I guess that justifies Obama now paving the way for Iran and the Islamic totalitarian”
Uh no.
Lets review. (I’ll type slowly).
The President and a coalition of allies are trying to PREVENT Iran from getting nukes, as apposed to the GOP, who merely shrugged their shoulders when Halliburton sold nuclear technology to Iran.
Understand?
Selling nukes to crazy regimes=bad
Signing treaties to stop crazy regimes from getting nukes=good.
