Obama’s too many concessions to Iran are setting the stage for a disaster
June 11, 2015 | Keyvan Salami

Ever since assuming office in 2009, U.S. President Barack Obama has had an affinity to tackle problems in respect to the Iranian regime through rapprochement and appeasement. This approach has manifested itself in giving unwarranted concessions to Tehran regarding its nuclear program and its regional ambitions, and ignoring the chaos and mayhem caused by the Iranian regime in the region.

Obama thinks such tactics will eventually lead to the resolution of the problems that are riddling the Middle East. The reality is, the continuation of this failed policy will inevitably cause the exacerbation of the turmoil and possibly lead to the complete unraveling of the Middle East.

Negotiations between world powers and Iran over its illicit nuclear program will soon reach the June 30 deadline. The Obama administration hopes that under a final accord, the Iranian regime will give up its ambitions for obtaining nuclear bombs. In exchange, the West will remove crippling sanctions and allow Iran to revive its ailing economy.

Obama will surely tout the talks as a foreign policy achievement for his administration, which has succeeded in ending the decade-long standoff over Iran’s nuclear program. The problem is Iran will not give up on its nuclear ambitions. Neither will it spend sanctions-relief money on rebuilding the shattered economic infrastructure of the country. Its priorities lie elsewhere.

A perfect example is Syria, where the Iranian regime has been spending billions to shore up the regime of Bashar al-Assad against opposition forces since conflict erupted in the country in 2011. Experts estimate Iran’s yearly expenditures on the Syrian conflict at around $6 and $15 billion. This has all happened while Iran has been under the strain of international sanctions and the added pressure of the sudden drop in oil prices. The $150 billion that Iran will receive in frozen assets   upon signing a nuclear deal will be spent on extending a conflict that has already claimed the lives of nearly 250,000 Syrians.

Iraq and Yemen are similar cases, where Iran is deeply entrenched in regional sectarian conflicts through its proxy terrorist militias.

What’s worse, news that leaks from the nuclear talks indicates that the final agreement will contain so many loopholes that Iran will actually remain a nuclear-threshold state and continue to secretly advance toward its long-sought nuclear deterrent. Thanks to the concessions made by world powers, Iran will retain more than 5,000 spinning centrifuges, and the mechanism for inspecting its undisclosed nuclear sites remains vague and uncertain.

In a nutshell, the appeasement policy will allow Iran gets to both keep its nuclear program and continue its terrorist venturing in the region.

The clock is ticking toward the June 30 deadline and unless a firmer stance is adopted toward the Iranian regime, we are bound for a disaster. Iran’s path toward nuclear weapons must be blocked entirely, and the West must make sure that the Iranian regime is prevented from spending sanctions relief on further pursuing its terrorist activities in the region.

That's the idea.

He's setting up multiple time-bombs for his successor.

Just like LBJ did, just like Carter did, just like Slick Willy did.

It's the Democrat way.

And whatever anyone here does, PLEASE don’t blame it on “incompetence”, or “inexperience”. The far left SOB and his crew are doing these things deliberately!

The ‘RAT-Marxist Way: Crap all over the country, foul everything up, blame it in your predecessor, leave it to your successor to attempt to unscrew the mess.

I, honestly, believe that’s only half the issue. The other half is that Obama is an active supporter of any and all enemy of the US.

A consummation Obama devoutly wishes.

Any concessions to the Mad Mullahs are too many. Even one is too many.

Aw, ya think?

Not since Jimmy Carter acquiesced to the takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran, have we seen such an obsequious posture by any other head of state to the Mullahs of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Even Carter’s feeble attempt to pull off a rescue of the 53 Americans (Operation Desert One) was a study in blunders and failure.

One good thing came of Carter’s fumbling and bumbling - Ronald Reagan was elected in a LANDSLIDE in the US in 1980. For just a while, it was morning in America again.

Obama isn't "fumbling and bumbling". He's *intentionally* sabotaging US national security.

Obama's priming the pump for donations to his two Foundations. TPA and TPP--Obama's immigration suck-ups---his non-action WRT ISIS, IRAN---are best understood against the backdrop of Obama's future plans as an ex-president----more specifically, his two Foundations (two that we know of).These entities control billions of dollars---and Obama is lying-in-wait for his share.

Just the other day--Obama proudly bragged that “today, once again, the US is the most respected country on earth.”

So it doesn’t matter Putin continues his invasion of Ukraine....

Or that China knows it can continue grabbing key sea areas, building vast artificial islands on which to plant its flag (and weapons). Or that Bashar al-Assad is back to using chemical weapons, because Obama won't enforce his own “red line.”

As for Iran: It’s already breaking the “interim” US nuclear deal by building enriched-uranium stockpiles far larger than it promised. Iraq? In the same town-hall, Obama talks of how “we were able to end two wars."

=========================================

Obama learned from the Clintons how to get a big payday for his two foundations: look on w/ approval even if countries invade and depopulate.....and never e-v-e-r utter a discouraging word e-v-e-r.

Maybe even shake hands w/ foreign tyrants to get mining permits and million dollar honorariums as Clinton did in Kazakhstan.

======================================

How well Obama learned at the knee of Hillary when she was Obama's Secy of State. At that time the "State Dept Mission Statement" mentioned that it would "create a more secure, democratic, and prosperous world for the benefit of the American people and the international community."

(Well, profitable for the Clinton Foundation, anyway.)

Now it looks like that "prosperous world" is gonna happen, thanks to Obama's two foundations (/snix).

THE OBAMAS GET READY FOR THE BIG FOUNDATION PAYDAY Obama isnt even out of office yet---and already has two foundations (that we know of).

(1) "The Obama Foundation" announced the location of its library in Chicago.....revving up the next ex-president's money machine.

(2) The second Obama foundation----The Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF)---(named after their dad), was fast-tracked by Lois Lerner for IRS tax-exempt status....for Malik Obama, Barack's half brother.

The BHOF is based at a Virginia UPS store, according to its website. The organization’s IRS filings list another Virginia address that is actually a drug rehab center where the foundation does not appear ever to have been based.

As first reported by The Daily Caller, the foundation was speedily approved for IRS exemption by Lois Lerner, the self-same IRS senior official at the center of the targeting of conservative organizations that have waited over two years to receive tax exempt status. The IRS thoughtfully gave Obama Foundation retroactive fund-raising status.......which it stupidly never applied for.

The tax-exempt Barack H. Obama Foundation is run by Abon’go “Roy” Malik Obama, the half-brother of Barack Obama.

The foundation’s mission statement is “to provide people everywhere with resources to uplift their welfare and living standards in memory of dad---Barack H. Obama: in the region of his birth, Kenya, and beyond.” Its guiding principle is “the inherent belief that no one can truly enjoy the riches he has reaped if his neighbor suffers....."We seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors.”

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

Despite raising more than $250,000, the alleged charity doesn’t seem to have done much. Its website claims the organization has built a madrassa and was building an imam’s house as well as some “proposed latrines,” but there is no other evidence that the nonprofit was working to “mitigate social-shortcomings in areas of education and literacy, health and well-being, poverty, and lack of community infrastructure in such basic needs such as water, electricity, shelter and sustenance,” as the site says.

Alton Ray Baysden, a former Dept of State employee, allegedly a registered Republican, who helped start the Barack H Obama foundation, declined to comment before seeing copies of a reporter’s passport and govt ID, along with a description of the article’s “motivation” and “slant.”

Repeated reporters' phone calls went to the organization’s voicemail and were not returned.

Malik spends most of his time in Kenya with his 12 wives while Obama finances his half brother, Malik, a major fundraiser for the Muslim Bortherhood.

==================================================

GOVERTNMENT FRAUD AT ITS FINEST--deposited in numbered accounts in offshore banks?

Obama's federal outlays (that we know of).:

<><> $2 billion funding to Malik's organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,

<><> $50 million to Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.

<><> While the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama (and Hillary) showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.

<><> Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich African countries.

HOW MUCH $$$$ HAS BEEN WIRE-TRANSFERRED TO OBAMA'S TWO FOUNDATIONS?

Breitbart News---The Clinton Foundation's Swedish branch is hiding the names of secret foreign donors who contributed $5.4 million in 2011 and 2012 to the William J. Clinton Foundation…....in violation of Obama's conditions for giving Hillary the State Dept.

REALITY CHECK It's next to impossible to believe Obama knows nothing about the Clintons' buck-raking activities.

Remember, Hillary dropped out of the primary so he could forge ahead. A deal was made...undisclosed to the electorate. Looks to me like they divided up the US govt. She got the State Dept.

Hillary ran it like a shadow govt. Bill trotted the globe acting like a "good will" ambassador.....he devised hundreds of obscure programs to collect billions.....supposedly dispersed to "aid" endless "do-good" projects.

Obama's protecting the Clintons---they're his meal ticket. All of them are living happily ever after--getting rich on "tolerance and compassion." Better believe Obama gets a cut of every deal the Clintons make.

Obama's still in office and has two Foundations (that we know of)---ready to cash-in like the Clintons by selling out US interests.

Oh great. The best thing about our Iran policy is that Iran can’t handle ISIS. I’m most reassured.
