Obama defends comments linking Republicans opposed to nuclear deal to Iran

A report carried by CBS News last year claimed that US President Barack Obama’s administration had pressured Israel to stop carrying out assassinations inside Iran against its nuclear scientists. Most Middle Eastern countries harbor bitter resentment over Iran’s ever present attempts to export its Shi’ite brand of radical Islam to their countries and either terrorize or topple their regimes. That means the suspense is over whether Obama can corral enough Democratic support to sustain his veto and keep the agreement alive.

In fact, Israel, the lobby, and their cutouts (like the neocons in the media) constitute the entire opposition. I do know that there’s a sentiment inside a few of the opposing teams, not by everybody, however there is a concern concerning the ramifications of this deal inside the group.

The Republicans are a different story.

The announcement of this agreement has created a loud roar of complaint by some who opposed the negotiations while they were taking place.

That is a horrifying accusation made against the president – who time and again has demonstrated his strong support of Israel – as well as an insult to the memory of Holocaust victims and to the deal’s supporters. They can not allow Iran to be a nuclear power in the region without acquiring a counterweight in the form of a nuclear weapon. They don’t have the numbers. He still did not say whether his assessment included Democrats, including Sen.

His condemnations and outspokenness raised the ire of right wingers, who went so far as to call him a Nazi officer and wished for his death. Nor do the views of American Jews matter.

Vice-President Joe Biden, who has been energetically engaging with Jewish leaders on the president’s behalf since the deal was reached in Vienna, was also at the meeting.

Ya’alon, in an interview with the German-language Der Spiegel, said that Israel “bore no responsibility for the lives of Iranian nuclear scientists”. “Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.] and the rest of the folks in his caucus who opposed this jumped out and opposed this before they even read it, before it was even posted, is reflective of a ideological commitment not to get a deal done”, Obama said. “I loved The White Album”, Scarborough shot back. From 1982 through 1986, I was a senior staffer there, editing its publications and serving as personal assistant to AIPAC’s then executive director, Thomas Dine. “I do not doubt his sincerity, but I believe he is wrong”. I have ordered tens of thousands of young Americans into combat. Sounding like former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani, who campaigned on his leadership in the aftermath of the Sept, 11, 2001 attacks, Christie repeatedly referenced the attacks, saying he spent his years as a U.S. Attorney in his state fighting terrorists and comforting their victims.

His press secretary, Josh Earnest, said Thursday that Obama might catch clips of the forum afterward – or “lowlights”, as Earnest termed them – but doesn’t have much “rooting interest” in viewing it live.

President Obama spoke at American University on August 5. (Probably true.) Is that what his foreign policy has bought us? We are Americans, unhyphenated Americans. We may be more in danger of radicalizing nations like Turkey than deracializing Iran.

Prime Minister Netanyahu is well aware of the timetable and the imminent threat.
