The Iran Deal Is a Victory for Obama Diplomacy Over Bush Warmongering (Can you believe this?)

“I don't want to just end the war, but I want to end the mindset that got us into war in the first place.” That was Senator Barack Obama, speaking about Iraq in a 2008 primary debate. For a candidate who had seen his own campaign surge on the strength of his opposition to the Iraq war, it was a near-perfect distillation of the change he hoped to bring to America’s foreign policy discussion, long dominated by hawkish views that were shattering against the bloody reality of Iraq’s civil war.

During the 2008 campaign, Obama started—and won—a hugely significant debate about the proper uses of U.S. power. His declaration that he would not be afraid to talk to America’s enemies brought accusations of naiveté from both his Republican adversary John McCain and Democratic primary opponent Hillary Clinton, who would go on to begin implementing that same policy toward Iran as Obama’s first Secretary of State.

Ending that mindset has proven a difficult task. The idea that military force is decisive in a way that diplomacy is not remains a very attractive one, especially for politicians looking for cheap ways to appear tough. And to be fair, Obama has moved slowly on this, often frustratingly so. There are policy areas, particularly the use of drone warfare, where he has continued the commitment to the use of force. But Obama’s Iran policy is one in which the president has followed through on that central promise of his candidacy, and with great results. In short, Obama’s Iran policy is the anti–Iraq war.

The invasion and occupation of Iraq resulted in the deaths of more than 4,000 U.S. troops and more than 100,000 Iraqis, including many times that number seriously and permanently injured....

This butthole would do it without hesitation. Won’t do the same against ISIS, but Israel is another matter.

He will have an eternity in Hell to ponder his decisions.

this deal with Iran is as close to political masturbation as I think you can get. the only problem is that because of this I think in ten years or less a lot of the kids walking around today are going to be fighting a more deadly war then the Iraqi war 1 and 2. personally I think we should of gone in and bombed all the nuclear sights after telling the world we would if Iran did not immediately disengage in working on nuclear technology.

Does anything you just said resemble anything that Mr. Obama and his two erstwhile secretaries of state would ever do?

[PCPOET7]

no...... I miss Reagan,,,,the pure threat of him becoming president was enough to get the job done because he would do exactly what I said to take care of the situation

They FLAUNT their LAWLESSNESS !

People REFUSE to face the FACTS of just how EVIL the Arab-Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama II, (a.k.a. Barry Soetoro), IS !
His IRANIAN SPY, Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett, is assisting him with is DECEIT AND DESTRUCTION of the United States of America, as we know it.

But when you FORCE the public to see the truth, they are blinded with a God-given, POWERFUL DELUSION!
The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF is not hard to understand, one you admit to yourself that his goal is the DESTRUCTION of everything we love!

You have to accept the TRUTH that
EVERYTHING HE DOES ... IS DONE TO DESTROY GOOD.
EVERYTHING HE DOES ... IS DONE TO DESTROY CHRISTIANS, AND PROMOTE ISLAM.
EVERYTHING HE DOES ... IS DONE TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER.

Read these articles, to get a better understanding of the VILE, and ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF.
