Obama Takes Iran Victory Lap - Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Things got a little rocky last week when Iran seized 10 sailors and 2 US Navy boats near Farsi Island on the eve of Obama's final state-of-the-union address, but by Saturday ("Implementation Day") the crewmen and their vessels were back in American hands, four American hostages including Jason Rezaian were free, and John Kerry was in Vienna to put the finishing touches on the administration's crowing achievement. 

As expected, the IAEA ruled that Tehran had stuck to its commitments under last year’s nuclear accord.

Moments after the ruling was handed down, the US and the EU each lifted nuclear-related financial and economic sanctions on the “pariah state,” much to the chagrin of Israel and Tehran’s regional rivals who view the West’s rapprochement with the Iranians with deep suspicion.

At 10:45 ET, Obama is set to address the American people who undoubtedly have all manner of questions about America's new best friend in the Mid-East.

Muslim? Maybe he is maybe not. We do have a lot of "christian" leaders killing/scarificing our own christians to refute the particular point of your argument.

Obama is a Jew by virtue of his mother and the grandparents that raised him.  His advisers including Axelrod, Pfouffe, and dual citizen Rahm Immanuel were almost to a person Jews.  His financial master's Bernanke, Yellen dual citizen Stanley Fischer, and Treasury Secretary Lew, all Jews.  The whole Muslim thing has been a complete charade.  Would a true Muslim be surrounded by so many Jews?  Obama is a Jew, just ask Farrakahn, he knows.  Don't you think this Muslim would know if he were Muslim?

Saudi terrorism, sponsored directly and indirectly (Pakistan, Afghanistan, ISIS) has turned this world into a fucking shithole.  It's always them, everything that comes out of that fucking place is fucked. What's Iran done to us?  Hostage crisis 30 years ago.  What have the Saudis done to us?  Blew up the twin towers, straight to patriot act and suspending the constitution. That's like 100,000 : 1 worse than what Iran has ever done. I'm going with the Realpolitik approach here.  Anything to reign in the Saudis is good.  Fuck these cocksuckers.  Letting Iran sell their oil is a good thing, especially at $30 a barrel.

Saudi's is a criminal terrorist state that is for sure.  The Zionist Council on Foreign Relations executed 9-11 carried out by the Mossad and the Saudi terrorists were set up as scape goats.  Or maybe you thought bldg 7 was hit by a plane?  Alan Sobroksy and Aaron Russo have it correct.

Now Iran unleashes more oil to further flood the market and kill off our failing economy. Not to mention what will happen (Israel) when Iran has been found to be lying about their nuclear capability, again! Great move!

That's right.  But we need a real enemy, not that North Korea, Iran bullshit sabre rattling.  After the USSR went down, we lost our purpose and the military industrial complex ended up turned against its own people.

"Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has hailed the implementation of the nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1 group as a glorious victory for the Iranian nation."

 

Some one got the dirty end of the stick on this deal and my guess it wasn't Iran but Obama puts his faith in "Hope" and trusting his Muzzie brothers.  He was raised a Shia don't ya know....

Hmmmm ... they always paint a pretty picture before the shit happens.

Remember medicare look what happened to that and all those who were all for it before the legislation was passed.

So think of medicare as this Iranian deal, somewhere, someone is going to pay.

At the moment I kind of like the Iranians because the only thing preventing all out chaos in the middle east is Iran so why the deal?

Look at the other players, Russia, China and Iran are like on the same team and to try and persuade Iran to run with the other team weakening it at the same time.

The last point makes more sense than the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Obama: We are removing sanctions because we can't successfully attack a country backed by Russia and China. Iran also has evidence of Israel's nuke program and are threatening to release it. We're busted.

obambam declared war on israel. his entire clusterfuck of an administration now has a chance of being the best in recent history because of that simple fact. this is a monumental change in foreign policy. it has the potential to reastablish the usa as king of the world once again if the world's perception of the usa returns to the benevolent dictator it was viewed as until the zionazis took over.

obambam declared war on israel.

If Israel is being abandoned, it is only because they no longer serve any useful purpose. It might be connected with the end of the petrodollar. There are no loyalties in politics.

i call it war because, unlike the usual tin pot dictator the usa usually deals with, israel will not just fade away. they will do something really stupid involving the killing of many americans. we have to hope americans don't fall for it.

Between his Iran speech and his State of the Union speech, Obama is employing the Vietnam strategy -declare victory and get out.
