The Iran Follies

Whew!  What a relief.  Iran has finally agreed to stop doing what it was never doing in the first place. As the Iran comedy circus goes on simple facts must never get in the way of a good round of rabble-rousing and fear mongering. As usual, America the Wonderful has saved the world from yet another non-existent threat.

Patrick Foy explains:

Am I laughing. As Peace Prize Obama lectures us and the Republicans and Neocons have a cow, maybe we should pause to contemplate the full fraudulent spectacle in progress and analyze what we are being told about the just-concluded nuclear negotiations with Iran.
First of all, I’ve been wondering what in the world the phalanx of negotiators could possibly have been talking about behind closed doors all these many months, busting through multiple deadlines, in view of the fact that Iran possesses no nukes and has no nuclear weapons program, is a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and that Iran’s Mullah leadership has denounced and outlawed nuclear weapons from day one.
In the second place, it is amazing that any deal at all was arrived at, since Obama & Company, following in the footsteps of Bush and Clinton, has allowed the incredible demonization of Iran to go unchecked and unchallenged. The demonization continues and may yet blow up the agreement on Capitol Hill.
Both the Grand Ayatollah Khomeini (who ignited a revolution which terminated the Pahlavi dynasty in 1979) and the current supreme leader, the Grand Ayatollah Hosseini Khamenei, issued Fatwas which prohibit the manufacture and/or use of nuclear weapons by Iran.
On top of that, the U.S. intelligence community has itself informed the White House, the U.S. Senate, and the Congress of the non-existence of an Iranian nuclear weapons program in no uncertain terms in 2007.  These conclusions were reiterated in 2011. The information was contained in National Intelligence Estimates compiled by Washington’s 16 intelligence agencies.

What isn't mentioned here is the blustering of the Israelis who also know perfectly well Iran has no nuclear weapons program and has known it from day one thanks to their own intelligence agencies. But the blustering goes on.

Now we know why.

Hang on to your wallets, Americans, because Obama and Co. are rushing over to Tel Aviv to "reassure" Mr Netanyahu that all is well.  How will he reassure him?  By giving him zillions of American tax dollars and weaponry, gratis.

I guess the real winner, again, is the war criminal in Tel Aviv.

Now, now....we must realize that Israel can have all of the nukes that it wants, but no one else in the region can. Poor Bibi.
He will get over the new treaty when the Elders start reaping profits from the new deal.
The tribe does let a chance to make some money slip through their fingers.

Today on CCTV a journalist said Israelis are afraid that Iran will "get more money" "that is what they're afraid of". So besides the always stated reason i.e. will support resistance against Israeli invasions, killing, stealing etc. Israelis don't want Iran to survive much less continue development in many areas such as water technologies, medicine, jobs, standard of living etc. Israel is Little or Big the Evil Empire.
