American foreign policy has been in the crapper for decades……..time has come for some sanity on the international stage…..
Since the end of World War 2 America’s only answer to problems abroad is to engage in armed conflict…..does not matter where….weapons and war has been the only answer that we are capable of giving the world.
This will most likely not be my last post on the Iran nuke deal…..why? Everything that can be said ….hasn’t.
But if someone wants to debate on the value of the deal………… please at least know what the deal is…….emotional ramblings is NOT a basis of opposition. I have posted several posts on the deal and any information you need can be found on IST……holding a grudge for 36 years is not an adequate reason for opposition.
I will revisit this subject if there is a major development that I feel needs to be addressed…….but for now……fascinating……..READ ON!
By now the whole world knows that Israel and especially the PM BiBi is dead set against the new agreement between Iran and the P5+1……..
He has been predicting that Iran would have a bomb in as little as 6 months to the high end, 5 years……and that has been the case for two decades….Iran will have a bomb…(insert time frame)…….
But could there be more to his predictions and opposition?

Thanx to the cash that Israel and its lackey AIPAC have spread around the media outlets the American people are losing confidence in the Iranian nuke deal……
As usual their disapproval is not based on any fact but rather on misinformation and lots of cash is available for just that purpose…………
Even retired generals see the benefit of approving this deal…….
In a new open letter, three dozen retired US generals and admirals have endorsed the P5+1 nuclear deal with Iran as the “most effective means” to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and called on Congress to vote in favor of the pact.
The letter echoes sentiment from current Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey, who said that resolving the dispute with Iran diplomatically “is superior than trying to do that militarily.”
But what do generals know about the situation? Their rationale does not take in consideration 35 years of hatred……or the cash used to spread misinformation.
At least these people have taken the time to educate themselves on the deal before issuing a statement……something the American people are too knowledgeable to do……..
5 Reasons AIPAC Is Dead Wrong about the Iran Deal | The National Interest.
I have been observing the debate surrounding the deal made with Iran over their nuclear capability for about 2 months……there are many that do not like the deal that was agreed upon…..politicians, voters and especially bloggers. In those months there has been an plethora of lip service in opposition to the deal. In all that time I have heard not one word on why they oppose the deal……….most are opposed based on hyperbole and outright lies wrapped in cute slogans.
You know I might take these people, especially my fellow bloggers, if they would offer up an explanation on why they oppose the deal…..I mean there is a wealth of things I do not like but at least I offer up a reason for my opposition………but so far NO specifics and for that reason I do not reply on the blogs when they write about their hatred of the deal.
I understand all the distrust of Iran….I mean we are still living with the 1979 embassy attack and the hostages…….I understand that they, Iran, is blamed for the deaths caused by IEDs in Iraq……..or their ever expanding footprint in the Middle East…..but none of this is a good reason to oppose the control of nukes in the region.
I ask now…..if you are in opposition to the deal agreed upon with Iran to please let me know exactly what it is about the deal that has you in opposition…….I mean we have the total crap being passed around by people like that idiot broad, Bachmann……..
In an interview on the evangelical radio program “Understanding the Times” this weekend, former Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann opined that we should all feel very “privileged to live in” the End Times, which are currently upon us now that Obama’s negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran
Bachmann claimed that the Obama administration’s historic accord is evidence of the fulfillment of the prophecy from Zechariah 12:3 — “On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves” — and that only through the heroic efforts of Congressional Republicans and their lone Democratic ally, New York Senator Chuck Schumer, to undermine the deal will America be spared God’s wrath.
Just one example of the silly, absurd even perverted crap being passed around for people to use to fuel their opposition to the deal.
Have you read the wording of the deal? NO? For Christ sake, how can you be opposed to something you have no idea what it is about?
Maybe a quick read of what is in the deal would be in order……….
The Iran nuclear deal, translated into plain English – Vox.
Now with the reading of this plain English translation of diplo-speak you can point to the part or parts that you are opposed to…..or you could just continue on sounding like a buffoon in your opposition……your choice.
Since the announcement of the deal come to by US (P5+1) and Iran…..there has been a concerted effort to kill the deal and move the country to a more war footing…….neocons and their handlers, Israel are working overtime……and the cash is being spread around like peanut butter……
The Senator next in line for the leadership of the Dems is earning the cash advance from Israel……..
In a move seen as a major blow to the P5+1 nuclear deal with Iran, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D – NY), one of the most influential “undecided” votes in the Senate, has announced that he has decided to oppose the deal, and will encourage other Democrats to do the same.
Sen. Schumer had been a major target of Israel Lobby pressure in recent days to vote against the deal, and his broad influence was seen as a potential inducement to other Democrats to go along. Schumer insisted his position was the result of “considerable soul-searching.”
“Soul searching”? Is that code for checking to see if the money is in his account yet?
Sorry this should disqualify him from a leadership roll….if he can be manipulated by foreign powers this easily….do you really want him in control?
You know there is an election coming……..and that could be the deciding factor………
With powerful lobbying groups threatening to make hay of the issue in the next election, many in Congress are facing a tough decision on how to vote, knowing that there is big money that is likely to be turned against them if they don’t go along in trying to block the pact.
Once again it comes down to cash and re-election………the backbone of what was once an American democracy.
Here’s an idea…..why not get these types to register as paid agents for a foreign government…..since AIPAC gets cash from the “homeland” to fight these fight……
Flash! Democracy in America is DEAD! God has been replaced by money! All this is becoming more and more disgusting with every election!
Nope, not something on the Game Show Network…….but rather the deal with the Iranians over the nuke issue…….just in case there was any confusion…….
There is lots of condemnation of the deal on Right wing whack job parties and even the start of ads on the tube against the deal….all financed by Israel in one way or the other……
But with all the hoopla on TV by pundits on both sides the question remain,……………….do Americans favor or not this deal?
According to a recent poll….Jews in the US……..
By a wide margin, American Jews support the recently concluded agreement with Iran to restrict its nuclear program, and a clear majority of Jews wants Congress to approve the deal. In fact, as compared with Americans generally, Jews are more supportive of the “Iran deal,” in large part because Jews are more liberal and more Democratic in their identities. It turns out that liberals (Jewish or not) support the deal far more than conservatives (Jewish or not), just as most Democrats are in favor, while most Republicans are opposed.
These results emerge from the new LA Jewish Journal Survey conducted under my direction by Social Science Research Solutions (SSRS), between July 16-20, a few days after the agreement had been announced. SSRS interviewed 501 Jews for the Jewish survey, and for the national survey, 522 respondents by phone (almost a third of which were cellphones). The margin of error is 6 percent for the Jewish survey and 5.2 percent for the national survey (consisting of 505 non-Jews and 17 Jews).
Okay American Jews support the deal…..but what about the rest of the country?
According to a poll conducted bt ABC News…….
A new national ABC News/Washington Post poll also finds sharply politicized views of U.S.-Israel relations, which have been strained by the two allies’ dispute over the advisability of an agreement with Iran.
In a result that supports the Obama administration’s position in the face of Republican and Israeli criticisms alike, Americans by 59-31 percent back a plan to lift major economic sanctions against Iran in exchange for restrictions making it harder for it to produce nuclear weapons.
We now see that the Iranian deal is popular with the American people…..the only opposition is from people OWNED by the Israel lobby……but let us say that somehow these dorks get their way and the deal is crushed…..what will be the result?
Taking his efforts to sell the Iran deal on the road, Secretary of State John Kerry spoke at several conferences and media interviews today on the matter, starting off with comments before the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) during which he had some serious warnings for Israel.
During the CFR talks, Kerry cautioned that considering intense Israeli lobbying efforts against the pact, if the US Congress does end up killing the deal the international community is likely to blame Israel more than it blames the US for blocking it.
If that occurred would that be the end of the Israeli control of this country? Would this then be the water to put out the Israeli flame?
The US sends multi-billions to Israel in the form of aid……and now with the upcoming vote on the Iranian nuke deal Israel is going into full opposition mode…….the lobby will be spending millions to political ‘friends’ to try and defeat the deal…..I ask of all the money spent to try and defeat the deal…..how much of that cash will be supplied by the American taxpayer?
The American people need to realize that they nor Israel are the center of the universe…..this deal effects more than the neocons in either country…..keep on mind…..if the deal goes South there will be NO one to blame but Israel and its lackeys……..whatever happens after that is on their heads and their heads alone!
The world sees the benefit of this deal, the positive benefits, everyone but the whores that Israel pays to do their bidding…….
Time for Israel to man up and join the human race…….
Israel and its neocon toadies are opposed to the Iranian nuke deal…….these are pulling out no stops to try and defeat the deal……and that includes as many lies and as much misinformation as they can pump out.
Although the rest of the world see the deal as a positive step……but the opponents will not let that get in the way of their vile speeches and writings……
For those Americans that are on the ropes on whether to support or oppose the deal then I suggest that we look at the sources of all the opposition………the sources will tell a lot about the opposition……
The Sources of Opposition to the Iran Agreement | The National Interest Blog.
As the world knows that the P5+1 and Iran have reached a deal on the Iranian nukes………and as was predictable the Radical Right has gone batcrap crazy……with the help of Israel and its American ally, AIPAC…….
Now with the opposition to the deal the Right has gone into a full court press to try and crap on the thing……..their best talking point is comparing the passing of the deal to Munich of 1938.
First, as usual, a little historical perspective.
For those confused about the Munich thing…..this was a deal reached between UK’s Chamberlain and Hitler on the parts of Czechoslovakia to try and prevent Hitler from invading the country…….that was in 1938 in the German city of Munich.
The Neocons biggest blow hard is journalist Bill Kristol……..and his enabler, National review……….
But you can see how this works: A Netanyahu think tank makes an outlandish claim, it is picked up by the National Review and thus laundered from its biased foreign origins, and then recycled and further laundered by Kristol in his publication. Cute trick.
And Kristol’s objection to foreigners with American blood on their hands is highly selective. The Marxist-jihadist death cult Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MeK) has plenty of American blood on its hands, but Kristol’s own magazine joined other neocon voices in urging the US to remove the terrorists from the US list of terror organizations. Why? Because they are Kristol’s kind of terrorists: they infiltrate Iran to assassinate civilians and foment unrest, while passing off laptops with Mossad-fabricated data made to look like Iranian nuclear weapons activity.
(With American blood on their hands……what about the American sailors that Israel killed on board the USS Liberty? We deal with them as friends)
Personally, I grow weary of the lies that Israel and its slaves try to pass off as truth…….no seems to want to talk about Muslim blood on one’s hands….why is that?
We will be hearing…”It’s Munich” a lot from the Neocons and their puppets…..this is all a deadly game Israel is playing with American lives….of course those are not as important to them as they are to us…….
If you believe anything Israel has to say….then you are STUPID and I have a bridge in Brooklyn I would like to sell you.
Now that the full court press is on….Israel has pulled out NO stops to beat back the deal…….their paid politicians are working overtime to please their masters……
The problem I have is that some of the stuff I hear is just garbage………the same garbage that I have been hearing for at least a decade…….
There are lies and then there are goddamn LIES….and Israel is a master of the later……
