At Least Syria Is Happy
— Gabriel Malor

"Syria congratulates the Iranian brotherly people and their wise leadership on this historic achievement which reiterates Iran's role in the stability and security of the region," the source concluded.

In favor of this deal: Obama, Syria, Iran, Russia, China, the EU.
Opposed: Israel.

The details are terrifying. Iran gets to continue its activities at Arak, Fordow and Natanz facilities, and gets a reprieve from sanctions in exchange for promising not to continue its nuclear weapons program.

Oh, and we're making concessions of international law, as well:

Zarif said that the agreement Â“covers several important domains, the most important of which is the recognition of the right to enrichment.Â”

The U.S. and other major powers have never conceded an international norm of enrichment. Obama's just giving this stuff away.

17 I suspect Barko the Clown knows the Israelis aren't gonna wait much longer now to blow up Iran's nuke facilities; now he gets to preen about how he was the peacemaker and then those rascally Jooooos ruined everything!

At least, I hoping that cynical and shortsighted political gamesmanship was behind this. Because if it isn't, it's either:

A: Obama's bunch is so abysmally dumb they believe this guff they're dishing out about Iran's peaceful intentions, or

B: Valerie Jarret really is an Iranian agent of influence, same same Harry Hopkins, FDR, and Stalin.

Either way, that's much worse than cynical politics.

21 Zarif said that the agreement Â“covers several important domains, the most important of which is the recognition of the right to enrichment.Â”>>

But John Kerry specifically said this deal does NOT include a right to enrichment. And repeated that lie multiple time to drive the point home and oddly focusing on the word"Right". I'm guessing the what is is lawyers said this was an out.

22 Gee, is there a codicil in the pact about Iran ceasing to hang homosexuals from gantry cranes in public? Because, you know, as long as we're getting mostly nothing in return, maybe at least we could be spared cozying up to a regime that, you know, hangs homosexuals in public.

Because I'm just thinking that that would be something the media wouldn't like much in a, say, Republican administration.

93 Obama may not be a Muslim (anymore), but he is most definitely what the Europeans like to call an "Arabist" -- i.e. he prefers the interests and the cultural values of the Middle East over his own.* *Yes, I know the Iranians are not Arabs, and since he in reality prefers pan-regional Islamic interests over Western interests, the proper term would be "Islamist' -- but that term is already reserved for a Muslim fundamentalist. And Edward Said, Obama's close friend, coined "Orientalist" for a Westerner who condescendingly fetishizes Middle Eastern culture, which also applies to Obama, but the term has a negative/insulting connotation, so we can't use that either. Hell, let's just call Obama an anti-American traitor, and dispense with the nicey-nice verbiage.

Every time O "pivots" to another topic to run away from the OCare disaster, the whole concept fades from the memory of the LIVs -- who are the very ons he needs to sign up by the millions. He should eb doing the exact reverse, turning everyone's attention TOWARD ObamaCare, to hopefully boost enrollment numbers. His pivots only contribute to the death spiral. "Pivot Spiral"??????

110 Hell, let's just call Obama an anti-American traitor, and dispense with the nicey-nice verbiage. Posted by: zombie Obama promised to fundamentally transform America. He's actually following through on that one. And millions of Americans approve. Perhaps no longer a majority, but millions, still. And that is the problem. Espousing the idea that Obama is "anti -American" is to ignore the bigger problem as to just what Americans believe themselves, anymore. People will justify ANYTHING and rationalize their primitive emotional reactions that drive their real actions in the "meat" world. It's why Jews support Obama in such numbers. The coldly rational analysis would indicate that much of the Democrat party has medium to large problems with Jews. But they have an emotional embrace of the same general political ideas, and the majority of Jews cannot reconcile themselves to voting for the outwardly WASP Republicans.

111 Winston Churchill, October 1938, after Munich: "I will begin by saying what everybody would like to ignore or forget but which must nevertheless be stated, namely, that we have sustained a total and unmitigated defeat. ... It is the most grievous consequence of what we have done and of what we have left undone in the last five years - five years of futile good intentions, five years of eager search for the line of least resistance, five years of uninterrupted retreat ... five years of neglect of our defences.... Our loyal, brave people...should know the truth. They should know that there has been gross neglect and deficiency in our defences; they should know that we have sustained a defeat without a war, the consequences of which will travel far with us along our road; they should know that we have passed an awful milestone in our history ... and that the terrible words have for the time being been pronounced against the Western democracies: "Thou art weighed in the balance and found wanting." And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time...."

>>It would end up, right now, with Isreal's complete isolation in the global community and probably start the slow process of its death.

No matter how it would start, Isreal would be blamed as the aggressor by 85% of the world. The Obama adminstration would probably issue some luke warm statement of support that would really mean no support. Sanctions would ultimately be imposed on Isreal that the US would go along with. The Russians would back the Iranians and, well, Obama v. Putin worked so well for us round 1 that round 2 would be a mere formality.
.

.I disagree. This is starting to look like a repeat of the 1967 war with Israel surrounded by hostile enemies who outnumbered them about 20-1. Israel struck first at the UAR and then went on to win big time. The international community was pretty hard on Israel for quite some time and they had to give up almost all of the ground they gained, but they shut down any serious Arab attempts to destroy the country for quite some time.

I doubt that Israel will go quietly into the night, they haven't the last dozen times.

Many Jews embraced Soviet Bolshevism in Russia, and then the Soviets openly turned on them as a group and persecuted them; eternal anti-Semitism of the Russian. It makes no sense to me. But people do things for deep emotional impulses, and then use their intellects and writings to explain it. And that's why the Leftist chattering class will embrace this, because it advances their cause, if even for one day. And they are basically anti-Semites, because real Jews will continue to put their religion and faith ahead of worldly politics. The Remnant. It's not just a Christian concept.

183 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty#United_States_law "In the United States, the term "treaty" has a different, more restricted legal sense than exists in international law. U.S. law distinguishes what it calls treaties from executive agreement, congressional-executive agreements, and sole executive agreements. All four classes are equally treaties under international law; they are distinct only from the perspective of internal American law. The distinctions are primarily concerning their method of approval. Whereas treaties require advice and consent by two-thirds of the Senate, sole executive agreements may be executed by the President acting alone. Some treaties grant the President the authority to fill in the gaps with executive agreements, rather than additional treaties or protocols. And finally, congressional-executive agreements require majority approval by both the House and the Senate, either before or after the treaty is signed by the President. "Currently, international agreements are executed by executive agreement rather than treaties at a rate of 10:1. Despite the relative ease of executive agreements, the President still often chooses to pursue the formal treaty process over an executive agreement in order to gain congressional support on matters that require the Congress to pass implementing legislation or appropriate funds, and those agreements that impose long-term, complex legal obligations on the U.S."

190 Egypt Cuts Ties With Islamist-Led Turkey, Expels AmbassadorÂ… Egypt is now easily the most anti-Islamist country in the Middle East. (ABC News) Â— Egypt downgraded diplomatic relations Saturday with Turkey and expelled its ambassador from Cairo, a sharp escalation in tensions between the two countries that mounted after a military coup ousted the countryÂ’s Islamist president this summer. In a quick reaction, Turkey reciprocated by declaring the Egyptian ambassador Â“persona non grataÂ” and downgrading relations with Egypt to the same level. EgyptÂ’s ambassador hadnÂ’t been in the country since August over the turmoil. And we are no longer friends with Egypt and they are about to buy all their weapons from the Ruskies? obama has done some yob in 5 years ha?

That is not entirely true. A nuclear weapon is a relatively complex piece of equipment. If you explode a conventional warhead near it or shoot it full of metal fragments there is a good chance that it will not function as designed. You might get a low order nuclear explosion or it might just crash into the ground and scatter radioactive components around the crash site. Neither of those is desirable but both are a lot better than a nuclear warhead functioning as designed where it will do the most damage. There is also the possibility that the nuclear weapon is salvage fuzed so that it will go off before the warhead is damaged. You still get a nuclear explosion in that case but it happens a bit farther out than the people shooting it at you had intended. Since there are a lot of inverse square law things going on, even that is a better result than not doing anything.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu slammed the interim nuclear deal signed in Geneva early Sunday as Â“a historic mistake that makes the world a more dangerous place.Â” Israel is not obligated by this agreement,Â” he told the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem. Iran is committed to IsraelÂ’s destruction, he said and "I want to make clear as the prime minister of Israel, Israel will not allow Iran to develop a military nuclear capability."

268 RE Iran agreement

Well, look, it's not like he is giving away missile guidance technology to China. Come on, people. Focus. Keep your perspective.

271 Niedermeyer!! May I got OT just this once and inquire why there is no football thread today? There wasn't a gun thread, either. Are the cobs mostly on vacation or has John Kerry negotiated for a reduced number of posts?

275 Inclusive of jimma carter, there has never been an as anti-American regime in power, which is simultaneously beyond the pale in naÃ¯vetÃ© , and as absurd in their thinking, if you can call it that, as this one. I know hard core dems and libs with at least tiny functional reasoning capabilities whom are profoundly disgusted with O. This isn't simply the worst president ever ... Oh no ... He represents far more than that. He is profoundly naive, and utterly dishonest. Completely unreliable as an ally, and completely predictable as a foe. And yet the GOP, for all the gifts he delivers to them, can't beat. Him. I am wondering how long it will be before the next WW gets launched thanks to mr peace in our time and his clueless minions. He had the choice of dishonor or war. He chose dishonor. He will get war. I didn't vote for him. I blame the dems and libs. Let's hang this on their asses so they don't get into power for the next two generations.
