Obama invokes Iraq war debate in push for Iran deal, amid Dem defections
Fox News ^ | August 5, 2015 | Staff

Posted on 08/15/2015 2:31:54 PM PDT by yoe

President Obama vigorously defended Wednesday his nuclear agreement with Iran as one "the world unanimously supports," reaching back to blame America's invasion of Iraq -- and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein -- for emboldening Iran, while labeling Republican opposition as "knee-jerk partisanship," and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's criticism as "wrong."

Speaking at American University in Washington, Obama described the congressional debate over the Iran deal as the "most consequential" since the Iraq invasion. The president called the agreement a "very good deal" that -- despite critics' claims to the contrary -- forbids Iran from building a nuclear weapon.

In anticipation of a barrage of advertising against the deal, Obama likened those arguments to the case for war in Iraq more than a decade ago.

Watch and listen to this: (SR 411 Iran Deal only a Cover Story?)....."Published on Aug 12, 2015

Want to know what’s so secret in Hillary’s emails? How about this for an informed guess. It appears that President Obama’s nuclear deal may just be a smokescreen to hide the fact that he secretly gave Iran’s nuclear program the green light way back in 2011 during secret meetings, according to – get this – a newly translated speech by Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei."

If the congress won't start impeachment proceedings against Obama...at least ground AF-1 and defund all the Obama issues; place him under house arrest. All American lives MATTER and won't be worth a dime if this man is allowed to proceed another day as POTUS.

obummer would never mention that Iraq was in good enough shape that it was considered a success by both dims and repups until he withdrew US support.

So the present problem in Iraq is really his doing.

What a jerk.

If the prick were not so dangerous he would either be pathetic or funny. Unfortunately, he is neither of these... he is terminally dangerous. He is also so full of Sh_t it runs out of both ears and dribbles from both sides of his mouth when he grins.

We have been fed the biggest line of lies ever the last 6 years and 7 months. The next 17 months will make that period of time look tame I’m afraid.

as usual Obama is wrong - Iran did not get all juiced up over the Iraq war. They have been highly motivated ever since their success attacking our embassy and taking the staff hostage and then energized by Carter’s weak stance. They have been sticking their thumb in the US eye for many years.

Hard to tell if Obama is just his normal lying sack of crap self, or if he really is that stupid. Iran was sponsoring and paying for the killing of Americans long before Iraq.

After the mess obama has made of Libya, eqypt and Syria obama wants to bring up Iraq? Heck obama has taken out more dictators than bush. If Bush had not taken out saddam hussein than Obama would have likely done it himself. Definitely not in the way bush did but he would have pushed for ways to get him out so islamic fundamentalists could take over.

How did this idiot ever get elected?

Paraphrasing George Carlin: Think about how stupid your average democrat is. And then realize that half of them are even stupider than that.

He's been using the old Cold War bullshti:

We have to show the Soviets that we want to help them and live in peace lest we play into the hands of the Soviet hardliners, there will be war and it will be our fault.
