Ted Cruz: A Dangerous, Wrongheaded Deal. Obama gave Iran a win and sold out our Israeli allies.
Foreign Policy ^ | Nov 25, 2013 | Ted Cruz

Posted on 11/27/2013 6:09:31 AM PST by Innovative

According to the interim agreement regarding Iran's nuclear program that was reached this weekend in Geneva, not one centrifuge will be destroyed. Not one pound of enriched uranium will leave Iran. Not one American unjustly detained in Iran's notorious prisons will be released. But Iran will start to receive, in a matter of days, $7 billion in relief from international economics sanctions.

This appears to be an unfortunate case of history repeating itself. As happened with North Korea in 1994, fascination with the negotiation process has blinded American diplomats to the true nature of their negotiating partners. Substantive sanctions relief has been exchanged for vague promises that the growth of a nuclear program will be curbed.

We all know how this story played out. North Korea lied, cheated, and stalled for time, all the while using the economic windfall from the United States to finance its nuclear program until it was ready to test a weapon in 2006.

When I was a kid, America was always the good guy in the white hat. I’m ashamed of what this country has become.

The GOP Senate “leadership” is vacant of initiative and vision. They rarely oppose anything. And when they feign dissent, nobody believes them - not the electorate who they consistently let down and not the Democrats who know that the GOP-e will cave. McConnell long ago sold his manhood for a handful of earmarks.

War is the only option the left has to keep their hold on power and people better wake up to it.

President Obama has “sold out”:

The American people
All of America's allies

President Obama has “hugged”:
The radical American Left
All of America's enemies

President Obama has “caused”:
The American people to be divided on Race
All of America's allies to realize America is TOTALLY unreliable.

President Obama has “set into motion”:
Race riots
WWIII to start in the Middle East

Cruz was right about Obamacare—I believe he is right on this as well.

Ted Cruz has described his foreign policy position as ‘somewhere between Rand Paul and John McCain’, which is like saying his coat size is somewhere between Barack Obama and Chris Christie.

American intervention by itself is not going to stop Iran from getting their nuclear program up and running, and Iranian nuclear power regulated by the IAEA is not a threat to American national security.

Also never forget that Obama is a product of the Democrat Party and the major media.

They knew/know who he was and is and still support him.

They all are on the same mission.

The Obama agenda:

1. Destroy the US from within

2. Empower and spread radical Islam

3. Play golf, hang out with celebrities.

Once people understand that then people will understand why Obama does the things he does. This Iran deal falls under #2. EVERYTHING he does follows those 3 things EVERYTHING.

Zbig boy gave enthusiastic support for that, too.

Thanks Innovative.
