Monday…..brain refreshed…..time to get busy…..
If you did not realize it….we just celebrated the 50th anniversary of the killing of JFK……and in the3 background they are still mumbling about ACA…….and finally that little prick Zimmerman made the news again…..and now for something important.
While you were asleep peacefully in your bed on Sunday morning, early Sunday morning, the announcement came over the wire….we may have a tentative agreement with the Iranians on the nuke thing……
(AP) – The French and Iranian foreign ministers say a deal between six world powers and Iran has been struck that calls on Tehran to limit its nuclear activities in return for sanctions relief. “Yes, we have a deal,” Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said as he walked past reporters crowding the hotel lobby in Geneva where marathon negotiations had taken place over the past five days. Asked if there was a deal, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said, “Yes,” and gave a thumbs up sign.
The goal had been to hammer out an agreement to freeze Iran’s nuclear program for six months, while offering the Iranians limited relief from crippling economic sanctions. If the interim deal holds, the parties will negotiate final-stage agreements to ensure Iran does not build nuclear weapons. The deal came after the personal intervention by Secretary of State John Kerry and other foreign ministers whose presence had raised hopes for a breakthrough. Diplomats refused to spell out details of the talks.
This would be good news if it is true……but we must approach any deal with the Iranians with caution….to quote little Ronnie Reagan….”trust but verify”………..
With this seemingly good news comes the inevitable crap from…..you guessed it!…..the Israelis……..
(AP) – Israel’s prime minister harshly condemned the international community’s nuclear deal with Iran today, calling it a “historic mistake” and saying he was not bound by the agreement. Speaking to his Cabinet, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the world had become a “more dangerous place” as a result of the deal and reiterated a long-standing threat to use military action against Iran if needed, declaring that Israel “has the right and the duty to defend itself by itself.” Netanyahu told his Cabinet that the deal gave Iran much-needed relief from the sanctions, but left most of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure intact. In particular, he cited Iran’s continued ability to enrich uranium, a key step in making a nuclear bomb.
Earlier, Netanyahu’s Cabinet minister for intelligence issues, Yuval Steinitz, said the deal was based on “Iranian deception and (international) self-delusion.” Yet he and other officials said Israel would have to turn its focus to the outcome of the final negotiations. Iran’s allies, meanwhile, lined up behind the deal. Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Moussawi called it a “step forward in order to solve other regional problems.” The Syrian government, which relies on Iran’s support in its battle against rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad, also said it was proof that negotiations were the best way to resolve a conflict.
Who among us did not see that coming? If you did not…where have you been for the last 50 years?
And now for a little analysis from Prof. Chuq…….it is time for Israel to stop acting like the thugs that their ancestors were when they destroyed Jericho and everything breathing….time for them to start acting like a civilized country….I say if they want to go it alone….let them! See just how quick the world will side withe the Palestinians…if they want to shit in their chili….then by God tell them to have at it!.
Netan…whatshisname to stop talkjng like the midget that Iran just got rid of and start thinking like a country with ties to the rest of the world…
STOP thumping your chest like a sex crazed primate….you look silly and stupid!
Yes, I have already addressed this hawkish cold war mentality on my blog. This point needs to be hammered home loudly and often so we can give peace a chance. We have lived too long under the preemptive my way or the highway approach of Bush/Cheney.
Like I said to Netan…whatever…..if you feel froggy jump…it will be the best thing that Israel could ever do for the Palestinian people….chuq
