US To Accept Civilian Nuke Program In Iran

WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama has signaled Tehran that the Washington would accept an civilian nuclear program in Iran if Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei can back up his recent claim that his nation “will never pursue nuclear weapons,” the Washington Post reported Friday.

According to the report, the verbal message was sent through Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who met with Khamenei last week. A few days prior to leaving for the trip, Erdogan held a two-hour meeting with Obama on the sidelines of the nuclear security summit in Seoul, in which they discussed what the Turkish leader would tell Khamenei about the nuclear issue.

Sure to help Obama with the Jewish vote. /sarc

The sad truth is that Obama could hand deliver nukes to Iran wrapped in paper with bows on top and he'd still get 90+ percent of the Jewish vote.

When it comes to Jewish American voters, Israel takes a back seat to liberalism. Always has.

Obama desperately wants to win reelection. He also desperately fears Israel will strike Iran before the election. If Israel strikes Iran, oil prices will spike up in the $200/bbl range, and gas will hit $7 per gallon, ensuring Obama's defeat.

Obama will trade the eventual nuclear destruction of Israel for four more years in office destroying America.

I personally am convinced Obama think it is morally right for Iran to have nuclear weapons, because like the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, and France, they are just another country. I am convinced Obama believes while some consider Iran a rouge state, there are many who consider other declared and undeclared nuclear states like North Korea, Pakistan, India, and Israel to be rouge states. I am convinced Obama thinks it is only "fair" for Iran to have nuclear weapons if Israel does.

I also think secretly Obama utterly hates Israel, and would have no qualms if it were brought down to size (1967 or 1948 borders), or simply wiped off the map. I am convinced Obama believes all of the ill which has happened in the middle east occurred after 1948, and therefore is the fault of the existence of Israel, and the United States support of Israel.

Obama must be defeated in November.

I reckon Congress can thwart this by simply declaring war against Iran.

Who asked us anyway? No one called. They’re an exporter of terrorism and kil their citizens who don’t toe the mullah line. So, again how will we know it’s a civilian nuke plant(s)? We don’t and they really want that caliphate so I’m just a LITTLE cynical on this.

>> If he is re-elected, there will be no United States by 2016. <<

IF we get thru this next election cycle and zero wins, I’ll be re-evaluating my prep plans. Our greatest threat is our own government. If zero doesn’t have to worry about re-election, it’s game over.

Stay safe.
