A victory for the West is surrender according to the conservatives who support Israel in a possible provoked attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran. |
QUICK QUESTION: WHY ARE THE SO-CALLED PRO-AMERICAN CROWD SUPPORTING A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT?
LAST TIME I'VE CHECKED, ISRAEL IS A FOREIGN COUNTRY.
WITH ALL THIS BEMOANING FROM REPUBLICANS AND THEIR CONSERVATIVE ALLIES, I WOULD OF SWORN THEY'RE TURNING THEIR BACKS AGAINST AMERICA! THESE SO-CALLED PATRIOTS AREN'T SUPPORTING AMERICA, BUT A FOREIGN NATION.
ISN'T THAT TREASONOUS?
THESE WAR TURKEYS AREN'T THINKING ABOUT ENDING CONFLICTS!
IN THEIR MINDS, ALL THEY SEE ARE BROWN SCARY MUSLIM PEOPLE.
ISRAEL IS FAULTLESS IN THE CONFLICT.
AND IF YOU CRITICIZE THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT, YOU'RE ANTI-SEMITIC ACCORDING TO THESE WAR TURKEYS!
The Islamic Republic of Iran is the "enemy" of the United States. When the leaders of the country speak ill of America and Israel, those arm chair warriors want to take the bombs to them.
The conservatives believe that the president and the international leaders handed Iran a victory by giving them six months to give up their intentions of nuclear enrichment. Somehow, achieving a goal to make Iran give up its nuclear weapons isn't a victory but a "surrender".
For if it was a Republican president, you wouldn't hear the talk from the likes of Senator John McCain (R-AZ) saying a move like this is "dangerous".
In order for sanctions to be lifted, lead negotiators for the P5+1 and Iran met in Geneva in October to discuss elements of a possible framework for resolving questions about Iran's nuclear program. Experts from the P5+1 and Iran met in Vienna around late October to exchange detailed information on those elements. Lead negotiators met again this month to negotiate that framework, joined at the end by Foreign Ministers from the P5+1, but despite extending the talks. In the beginning they were unable to agree on that framework and agreed instead to meet again later.
Today, the foreign ministers of Iran and the P5+1 agreed to a six-month interim deal that involves the freezing of key parts of the Iranian nuclear program in exchange for a decrease in sanctions, to provide time to negotiate a permanent agreement. Iran will stop enriching uranium beyond 5%, and will stop development of their Arak plant. The UN will be granted greater access for inspections. In exchange, Iran will receive relief from sanctions of approximately $7 billion and no additional sanctions will be imposed.
President Obama called the agreement an "important first step."
Conservatives call it an Obama apology tour. It starts with right wing asshat Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying that the international powers comforting to Iran is a "mistake".
Senator Bob Crocker (R-TN) appears on Loserville to make his "I hate Obama" rhetoric. He, McCain and his BFF Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) have denounced the move as a precedent towards letting Iran dictate how they operate.
The Stallmigos and their buddies affiliated with the Tea Party claim this announcement is a distraction from the disastrous rollout of Obamacare.
Even some of those war turkeys in the Democratic Party aren't happy about the peaceful solution.
Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) are two vocal critics of the Six Party talks to making Iran stop the nuclear program.
A bunch of war turkeys who think the best way to solving a problem is either starve them or bomb them.
Just angry over a political disagreements.
I mean if Iran criticizes Israel, conservative Republicans and those spineless Democrats are beating on their chests. They feel that criticizing the government is a sin.
I mean you got a right wing asshat like Netanyahu in power and his ass is trying to derail the peace progress with his bellicose rabble rousing.
Arab nations Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, Qatar, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and the Palestinian Authority have come out in favor of the temporary agreement. Lebanon also hailed the agreement, while emphasizing that Israel should also sign the NPT and rid itself of its nuclear weapons arsenal.
Turkey, India and Pakistan have also welcomed the framework agreement.
In a reference to Israel's arsenal of nuclear weapons, Saudi Arabia and Qatar both advocated a comprehensive solution to Iran's nuclear issue which would leave the entire Middle East free of nuclear weapons.

Most Americans can't find Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq on a map. |
Reaction from Israeli government politicians was negative. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the accord a "historic mistake," and intelligence minister Yuval Steinitz compared it to failed nuclear negotiations with North Korea.
Considering the way Washington handled the deal with Iran The Jerusalem Post questioned whether Netanyahu would "place Israel's security in the hands of US guarantees".
Leader of the opposition Isaac Herzog criticized Netanyahu's reaction as bad for Israel's relations with the United States, although Herzog also said that Obama was partly to blame for not communicating more closely with Israel.
Saudi Arabia, a regional rival of Iran, welcomed the agreement. The Saudi cabinet released a statement which read, in part: "The government of the kingdom sees that if there was goodwill, this agreement could represent a preliminary step towards a comprehensive solution to the Iranian nuclear program" and could eventually lead "to the removal of weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons, from the Middle East and the Arab Gulf region".
Reaction from the U.S. Congress was mixed. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Peter King were sharply critical of the agreement. Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Adam Smith were more positive. Speaker John Boehner and Democrat Eliot Engel were cautious.
Reactions from Canada were "skeptical", with Minister of Foreign Affairs John Baird saying Iran "has not earned the right to have the benefit of the doubt."
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon hailed the interim agreement as the potential "beginnings of a historic agreement."
Hezbollah published a declaration and stated this is a triumph for Iran.
What's your take on this?
I know my personal take is, good for America to put aside it differences to do something. I am glad that the president didn't take orders from some right wing asshat who believes that we should bow down to him and his corrupt government.
Israelis can bitch and scream all they want. They're just lucky the UN and global leaders don't call upon the country to give up its nuclear power and weapons.
