The big story of the day is how the world decided to trust Iran and throw Israel under the bus.
Secret US-Iran talks set stage for nuke deal
WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States and Iran secretly engaged in a series of high-level, face-to-face talks over the past year, in a high-stakes diplomatic gamble by the Obama administration that paved the way for the historic deal sealed early Sunday in Geneva aimed at slowing Tehran’s nuclear program, The Associated Press has learned.
The discussions were kept hidden even from America’s closest friends, including its negotiating partners and Israel, until two months ago, and that may explain how the nuclear accord appeared to come together so quickly after years of stalemate and fierce hostility between Iran and the West. SOURCE
And this, the one that really fried ME!
Obama: Nuclear deal blocks Iran’s path to bomb
GENEVA (AP) - Iran struck a historic deal Sunday with the United States and five other world powers, agreeing to a temporary freeze of its nuclear program in the most significant agreement between Washington and Tehran in more than three decades of estrangement.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani endorsed the agreement, which commits Iran to curb its nuclear activities for six months in exchange for limited and gradual sanctions relief, including access to $4.2 billion from oil sales. The six-month period will give diplomats time to negotiate a more sweeping agreement. SOURCE
To paraphrase an old quote from one of our Founding Fathers, Patrick Henry; “I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” I say, “I know not what course others may take; but as for me, I will stand with Israel!”
If the so-called *leader* of this nation were a real American he too would stand with Israel and against Iran. I honestly believe that Barack Hussein Obama is exactly what I, and many others have long suspected him of being; a Muslim.
Obama has amassed the worst record of foreign affairs failures and this one tops them all. He wasn’t alone. The usual craven European nations joined in. Peace at any price is going to come back to bite them and bite us. We have to survive Obama for another three years just like we survived Carter.
Secondarily, Obama needs this deal to distract everyone from the Obamacare debacle.
The distraction from Obamacare is at least a STRONG point in this, I don’t think it’s all Obama had in mind though, the negotiations were ON before the current Obamacare FAILURE…
I honestly believe that Obama is a Muslim and wants to see Israel destroyed…
Do you see the similarities between John Kerry now and Neville Chamberlain in the days just prior to WWII??
Alan, with all due respect SIR!
Please adjust your statement to “BITE US IN THE ASS!”
Israel was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.

The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist, and believed blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations.

And the most hated of all people, especially by people like Obama and his ilk..
Best add into the equation we Celt’s that are Americans without hyphens Brother…
These morons are so transparent, they make 7th graders appear to be brain-trusts.
Everyone knows that Obamacare was an utter failure that democrats seeking reelection are trying to distance themselves from, so a diversion and apparent win of this magnitude will certainly divert attention from the negative.
The utimate problem is the fire these idiots are playing with that will destroy so much. I initially thought they were just naive, but clearly, they have dangerous ambitions that will hurt millions.
Well Gary? Glad to see that you are no longer so nieve. Welcome aboard!
Millions have already been hurt.
Now, it is people like those that are here will have to work even harder to see that none are harmed.
Remember: Don’t look toward the flash!

Is thast sort of like Shoot and move J.D?
This agreement is so flimsy, it is almost funny. Does Obama not remember how the Iranian President was the chief nuclear negotiator for his country? Does he not remember how Hassan Rouhani openly bragged that he lied to his fellow negotiators, in order to further Iran’s nuclear ambitions? Does he really believe Iran can be trusted?
On another note, the agreement is also supposed to lessen the sanctions on Iran. As I wrote on November 9th, the sanctions have already been loosened.

The Koran says it is ok for Islamists to lie, and they do often. They do it with a straight face because their deity supports it. We can’t trust the Iranians or our President. They lie, they continue to lie, and will continue to lie. Iran is very good at stringing along naïve people to believe Iran means no ill toward anyone. That is a damnable lie, and any of us with some age know it. Turn that place to glass, I say.
The worst point is now he had dragged other countries into the issue this making sure we and Israel can do nothing. Just when I thought each week was the worst.
Obama is an idiot. And Israel is left hanging in the wind as per normal.
Meanwhile, because China knows the Obama won’t intervene, it has decided to claim the Senkaku Islands. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/24/us-warns-beijiing-island-dispute-senkanus

Angola just decided to ban Islam and started the destruction of mosques. They claim that Islam is a cult, therefore is not entitled to state protection under any form of freedom to practice the faith of their choice. Also, Geert Wilders has been warning about the danger of Islamic influence in Europe and the Netherlands. I would encourage anyone interested in learning the truth about the intentions of the followers of the Koran to read the posts Gates of Vienna and Barenaked Islam. There are links to other sites that can dispel any misconceptions about this horrible cult. Our government is riddiled with Islamic simpathisers.
