Flashback: Obama: Iran Only Wants ‘Defensive’ Nukes
National Review ^ | 3/31/15 12:41pm | Joel Gehrke

If President Obama seems less worried than Israel that Iran will obtain nuclear weapons as a result of his administration’s negotiations with the regime, maybe that’s because he’s less worried than Israel about Iran having nuclear weapons.

“I think Iran is like North Korea,” Obama told David Brooks when he was running for president in 2007. “They see nuclear arms in defensive terms, as a way to prevent regime change.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu disagrees. “The ideology of Iran’s revolutionary regime is deeply rooted in militant Islam, and that’s why this regime will always be an enemy of America,” he said in his speech to Congress denouncing the deal being negotiated. “The foremost sponsor of global terrorism could be weeks away from having enough enriched uranium for an entire arsenal of nuclear weapons and this with full international legitimacy.”

The negotiations are currently stuck, as Iran refuses to ship its stockpile of enriched uranium to Russia.

“The export of stocks of enriched uranium is not in our program, and we do not intend sending them abroad,” an Iranian negotiator told state-run media, according to the Washington Free Beacon. “There is no question of sending the stocks abroad.”

In my 61 years on earth, no group of people lie more than Iranians. This includes Iranian-Americans.

The science is settled : )

No doubt, because Israel is much closer (geometrically) to Iran than we are.

GUYS: The US military, under the guidance of the Sunni Sultan Obama, is simultaneously fighting both FOR and AGAINST Iran. We are ALLIED with Iran in the fight against Islamic State in Syria, and we are fighting AGAINST Iran with the Arab Coalition in Yemen! Meanwhile, he is negotiating the delivery of nuclear weapons capability to Iran, while stabbing our ally Israel in the back, with his Fatwa to Israel to abandon its defensive positions in its settlement areas. All this, while conducting his war on coal in particular and fossil fuels in general in the US, with his Fatwa forcing the Gulf drilling moratorium and the freeze on new Federal leasing and drilling permits. Sharia Law is COMING to the USA. Believe it.

For supposedly being one of the brightest people around, Obozo seems to have the intelligence of a dust mite. Can he really be that naive?

WTF is a defensive nuke? Is that the kind of nuke that can only be used defensively and in no way can be used offensively?

“I think Iran is like North Korea,”

“South Korea and North Korea are still officially at war, and the United States still keeps troops in South Korea, in case North Korea ever invades again. Wiki”

So technically he knows he’s arming our enemy. That’s “in
your face” treason. Not just for the Obama but for every
congressman who insists impeachment be taken off the table.
John Boehner and Mitch McConnell are just as big traitors
as the Obama.

Whats with the spam? This is the third article you have posted the same thing
that I have come across in the last hour.
Why don’t you post an article or even a vanity with your
opinion and links basing your claim?

“Can he really be that naive?”

Only if he is a puppet. And even then.
He’s not naive, he’s just an evil POS
that hates America. Some day we will
see and hear him actually say “Death to America”
and not in some quote but literally.
