Breaking: Obama Hid North Korean Rocket Component Transfers to Iran
US intelligence officials have now revealed that during the Iran nuclear negotiations, North Korea has sent several shipments of advanced missile components to the Iranian regime in violation of UN sanctions - and that the Obama Administration hid the violations from the UN.Since September more than two shipments of missile parts have been monitored by U.S. intelligence agencies as they transited from North Korea to Iran, said officials familiar with intelligence reports who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Details of the arms shipments were included in President Obama’s daily intelligence briefings and officials suggested information about the transfers was kept secret from the United Nations, which is in charge of monitoring sanctions violations.
Critics of the U.S.-led nuclear framework agreement reached in Switzerland earlier this month have said one major deficiency of the accord is its failure to address Iran’s missile program, considered a key nuclear delivery system for the Islamist regime.
CIA spokesman Ryan Trapani declined to comment on the missile component shipments, citing a policy of not discussing classified information . . . . . . No wonder the Iranians insisted that their ballistic missiles program was off the table in any negotiations. Why the president agreed to it is another matter entirely, especially since he had to have known the sanctions he kept boasting about were being grossly violated.
U.N. sanctions imposed in 2009 on North Korea’s nuclear and missile tests prohibit the export of missiles and related technology, and obviously the president didn't want to make an issue of that either, even if it meant deceiving the UN and the P5+1.

Awesome commentary...

To be honest, I did not listen to Stewart. He's a very biased and funny comedian. How much of what he says is actually the case, well, I just don't have the interest to get into it. I know this, Obama has been a supporter of a non-violent (in his mind) Iran, since day one of his Administration. He began his time in office apologizing for being an American, labeling Israel as an "oocupier" of Palestinian lands, promising to work with Russia ("I will be more felxible after the election, I promise"). He unilaterally took down the missile defense treatise with Poland and the New Czech Repulbic, missile defense that specifically protected against Iranian attack, and is crafting an "agreement" with Iran that will insure the destruction of Israel. His real "Chife of Staff" (Jarrett) is an Iranian born whatever), and his religion of choice is Islam. So Stewart laugh at Cheny all he wants. If what he says is true (I didn't listen, because I already know most of his bias) , still Cheney was only mistaken, not a traitor to the Middle Easxt region and the traditions and history of our nation. Beig diff between being wrong and being a traitor.
DeleteCheney said - on video - complained to colleagues at Halliburton in 1998 that the US had become “sanctions-happy” and cut Halliburton and other weapons companies out of potential business opportunities in Iran. Cheney argued for the United States to lift sanctions on Iran, so that his company, Halliburton, could get contracts with this radical regime. Contracts worth millions of dollars. His final act in the business world, before joining the American government as Vice President, to enter into contracts with the number one state sponsor of terror, just before leaving to become Bush’s running mate — contracts that were only legal because he did them through a foreign subsidiary. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said on video in January 2014 that one of the Bush administration’s goals in invading Iraq was to make Iran stronger! By the time Obama was elected, Iran had more than 20 times as many uranium-enriching centrifuges as when Cheney and Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, took office.
ReplyDeleteCheney is traitor.
Seriously? If so, no more than John Kerry and B Obama, who are giving aid and comfort to Iran in its question to rule the Middle East and destroy Israel, and, eventually, the U.S. So what do have: Cheney who supposedly wanted his buds to sell guns (no one know if this is a factual statement, btw), or Obama who wants to equip Iran to destroy Israel?
