About yesterday’s “deal” with Iran: In short, it was nothing
more than a slap in the face to Israel and a demonstrative show of contempt for
all who seek peace in the Middle East.
It is a six month agreement that allows Iran to continue making and spinning its nuclear centrifuge arsenal while giving that country reprieve on 8 billion dollars previously tied up by a policy of harsh sanctions. "They" get eight billion dollars of relief and the right to continue with their nuclear program as the two sides negotiate for a substantive agreement to be signed six months from now, and, we get . . . . . . . . . . nothing. That is the heart and soul of this "historic deal."

The NY Times gives us this exerpted summary. As you read, make note of the implicit criticism
embedded in this excerpt and in the larger article:
But it
. . . . . . reflects a broader
scaling-back of the use of American muscle, not least in the Middle East, as
well as a willingness to deal with foreign governments as they are rather than
to push for new leaders that better embody American values. “Regime change,” in
Iran or even Syria, is out; cutting deals with former adversaries is in.
“Peace from power” is a long held principle Hussein Obama has rejected, in spite of the fact that this is his operating M.O. as to domestic policy. Here, at home, he functions as a biased and narrow minded Chicago thug, but in the outside world, and especially the Muslim world, he is hell bent on following a path of creating trust as he precedes with a diplomatic “policy” of unilateral concessions to the exclusion of all who have reason to oppose his imperialist and Utopian decisions.
Apparently, he does not understand the extent of the ObamaCare failing. Because of his several postponements and the systemic nature of this legislative debachle, he has guaranteed that his legacy legislation, an appropriate failure, will be a hot-blooded campaign issue for both 2014 and 2016. This treaty, with no diplomatic or military muscle written into its text, will be another failure in the resume of this Presidential Boob and will serve as another anecdotal reminder of his pronounced ineptitude as a national and world leader.
The fear, on the Left, is that this deal might open the door to war in the Middle East, an potential eventuality that will be laid at the feet of this presidential blowhard. All we can do is hope for the best, on that score.
