- Doesn’t take much imagination to know where this is heading; Corker should pay a price before the rest of us do
- Change “whistle” to “missile” and the Peter Paul and Mary folk song might be our new revised, reprised lament
“We told the Iranians we don’t care all that much about the Israelis, just leave us out of it. Except that it didn’t quite work out that way for Obama and Corker, as it didn’t work out for Neville Chamberlain when he called Czechoslovakia a “far-away country.” The Iran deal was supposed to bring peace to the region, but instead it handed Trump the equivalent of the Cuban missile crisis.”
This column highlights a story that not only every American needs to know but everyone in western Europe as well.
It should be common knowledge and a cause of outrage just how bad and how dangerous the so-called “Iran Nuclear Agreement” is, and how it is being played out in the full view of the world.
It is our humble opinion, based on extensive media reports that this was very likely the biggest, most dangerous, most dishonest act of Barack Obama’s dreadful reign, and it was abetted by a hapless GOP Senate and one very treacherous Republican Senator. If, indeed , the providing of a country which has vowed to destroy America the means and opportunity to do so, the treachery of Senator Bob Corcker should bear a major primary responsibility.
Unless President Trump is able and willing to stop this coming disaster, this will be an act of national suicide unmatched in all of history! DLH
Hey, Team Trump: Tell America what’s in the Iran deal (excerpts)
By F.H. Buckle (excerpts)
But what was in the treaty? Ah, that was the great thing. No one knew. And now the Iranians are telling us that Obama secretly promised them they could build ballistic missiles capable of a 2,000-mile flight.
Why that number? Because the Iranians insisted they wanted to be able to strike every part of Israel, and the European members of the six-party Iran talks — Germany, France and Britain — didn’t mind so long as Iran couldn’t build longer-range missiles that could reach them. No skin off their noses if Israel were destroyed.
Now here’s where it gets interesting. The administration thought the Iranian missile launched last month was a medium-range Shahab missile (postmarked Israel-only). It seems to have taken that from a speech by Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan last September. The new missiles have a range of 2,500 to 5,000 miles and could easily reach all of Europe. Add a range of another 500 miles and that includes Boston. . . .
US National Security Adviser Michael Flynn called the Iranian missile test a violation of the Security Council resolution. That’s an acknowledgment that the` new administration intends to be bound by Security Council resolutions, which is interesting in itself. But Flynn also needs to go public with the details of the Iran deal, including all the secret side agreements.
If we agreed to give Iran the means to attack Israel with a medium-range missile, we need to fess up. And if Iran has violated the agreement by testing longer-range missiles, our announced sanctions are a sadly inadequate response.
The Iran mess underscores the need for a revolution in American strategic thinking, one that recognizes the importance of an effort to recast our relationship with Russia and to rethink the purpose of the NATO alliance.
