I believe you are talking about Kerry but I also don’t believe he was ever known with the same three initials as John F. Kennedy....

“”JFK...helped Iran... get nukes. Wanna flesh that those details out a little bit?””

I believe he left that job up to us...Kerry was never known with those initials..May be a poster much younger than the rest of us and wasn’t familiar with the REAL JFK....

Amb Prosor: How Iran is arming Hezbollah

“For years Iran has trained Hezbollah fighters and smuggled missiles to the terrorist group in violation of resolutions 1701 and 1747.

The evidence of Iran and Hezbollah’s crimes is now overwhelmingly apparent.”

Iran provided most of Hamas’ weapons

In an interview broadcast on Iranian TV channel Al-Alam (August 31, 2014), Ali Akbar Velayati, Foreign Affairs Adviser to the Supreme Leader of Iran, confirms that most of Hamas’ weapons entered Gaza with Iran’s assistance, and that Iran also helped Hamas to manufacture some of the weapons used by Hamas’ terrorists.

So name a terror attack.

It can’t be that hard for THE WORLD’S LEADING SPONSOR OF STATE TERROR for you to name ONE!

Name one.

All terror is Sunni. I can name hundreds to back up my assertion. Now, you try.

Oh, let’s see, Iranian IED paymasters in Iraq, the Mahdi in Iraq, the (Iranian) Shia revolt in Bahrain, Hezbollah and Hamas in Lebanon and Syria, Yemeni Houthi rebels, the Iranian Republican Guards in Iraq, etc. They’re all funded, trained and equipped by Iran.

Assad got his payback. The Mullahs are owed theirs.

Assad is fine. The winner in fact.

All of the things you listed are bad. They are not however, evidence of THE WORLD’S LEADING STATE SPONSOR OF TERROR. Unless you define doing things you don’t like as “terrorism”.

“”I suspect the Iranians here will begin firing on civilians once the shit hits the fan. Obama put them in position, here, for that purpose.””

Boy - there are sure some silly posts on this thread. What on earth did obozo do to help Iranians HERE assuming you mean the USA?????? He would have been 18 years old when they were getting out of Iran to settle in this country.

You didn’t see my posts 78 and 85??

I know you’re a big fan of Iran/Syria puppet master KGB Putin, and have been for years, but are you claiming that both President Trump AND Israel’s Netanyahu are wrong on their assertions Iran is the largest state-sponsor of terrorism?

I did see your posts, and they failed to name a terror attack.

And yes, The President and Netanyahu should name one. Just like you.

War is serious. It’s best to use your mind and not regurgitate platitudes that have no real truth to them.

All terror is Sunni.

Hunter Biden sat on the board of Burisma Holdings, which was founded by Mykola Vladislavovich Zlochevsky (Ukrainian: Микола Владиславович Злочевський), who has been linked to Joseph Biden and John Kerry by Ukranian prosecutors. On the Ukranian gas guy with Russian ties, are you perhaps thinking of Dmytro Vasylovych Firtash (Ukrainian: Дмитро́ Васи́льович Фі́рташ)?

“”Jul 3rd, 2016 Former Senator Al D’Amato (R-NY)””

ODD - he must have some pretty good connections in DC as he hasn’t been in the US Senate since 1999.

[RT (Russia Today) is a Russia state-owned and controlled propaganda media outlet -ETL]

From The Daily Caller, May 5, 2019

* Hunter Biden was appointed to the board of directors of a Ukranian company [Burisma] as part of an effort to recruit well-connected Americans while the company was under investigation, according to The New York Times.

* Then-Vice President Joe Biden played a role in pressuring Ukraine to oust the country’s top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the company, Burisma.

* Shokin’s successor initially ended the investigation into Burisma, but decided in March 2019 to reopen it.

From 2014...


Mykola Zlochevsky

Same article, Daily Caller, May 5, 2019

Burisma is a natural gas exploration and production company owned by Mykola Zlochevsky, a cabinet member of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich. [Viktor Yanukovich was Putin’s stooge in the Ukraine -ETL].

Yanukovich was removed from his position in February 2014.

He [Yanukovich] currently lives in exile in Russia and is wanted by Ukraine for high treason.

Zlochevsky later fled the country in late-2014 as Ukrainian prosecutors launched investigations into his time in public office as well as his private businesses.”

Viktor Yanukovych vs Viktor Yushchenko

In 2004, as President Kuchma's term came to an end, [Viktor] Yushchenko announced his candidacy for president as an independent.

His major rival was Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych. ..."

The campaign was often bitter and violent.

Yushchenko became seriously ill in early September 2004.

He was flown to Vienna’s Rudolfinerhaus clinic for treatment and diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, accompanied by interstitial edematous changes, due to a serious viral infection and chemical substances that are not normally found in food products.

Yushchenko claimed that he had been poisoned by government agents.

After the illness, his face was greatly disfigured: jaundiced, bloated, and pockmarked.

British toxicologist Professor John Henry of St Mary’s Hospital in London declared the changes in Yushchenko’s face were due to chloracne, which results from dioxin poisoning.[17]

Dutch toxicologist Bram Brouwer also stated his changes in appearance were the result of chloracne, and found dioxin levels in Yushchenko’s blood 6,000 times above normal.[18]

On December 11, Dr. Michael Zimpfer of the Rudolfinerhaus clinic declared that Yushchenko had ingested TCDD dioxin and had 1,000 times the usual concentration in his body.[19]

SEAN HANNITY: "Joe Biden literally leveraged a billion taxpayer dollars, demanding in six hours, that a prosecutor investigating his own son gets fired as a result of his connections to this energy company.

Here’s the tape.

BIDEN: We’re not going to give you the billion dollars.

They said, you’ve got no authority.

You’re not the president.

The president — I said, call him.

I said I’m telling you.

You are not getting a billion dollars.

I said, you are not getting the billion.

I’m going to be leaving here, I think it was six hours.

Look, I said [I'm] leaving [in] six hours, if the prosecutor is not fired, you are not getting the money.

Well, son of a (EXPLETIVE DELETED), he got fired.

IMO, POTUS' response should be:

"Recent attacks on commercial shipping prove that America and the world can no longer tolerate the occupation, claiming, and offensive arming of islands in the middle of the international waterway of the Persian Gulf by the nation of Iran."

"There is ample evidence of military installations..."

"...and the basing of offensive Fast Attack Boats..."

"...on these islands."

"As of 2400Z, this date, Iran is granted forty-eight (48) hours to evacuate all human beings -- especially civilians and foreigners -- from the islands of Abu Musa and Sirri in the Persian Gulf.

"Any loss of life on those islands beyond that deadline will be made the responsibility of the Mullahs of Iran."

Why would you even bring up a ridiculous non-issue like that. Do you not know about the Obama-Hillary Russia Uranium-One scandal? The former senator was referring specifically to the Iranian angle in that treasonous deal Obama-Hillary made with the Russians.

“”Do you not know about the Obama-Hillary Russia Uranium-One scandal? The former senator was referring specifically to the Iranian angle in that treasonous deal Obama-Hillary made with the Russians.””

“Do you not know?” WOW! How condescending is that? Guess I’ve managed to be at FR every day since 2002 and never ran into anything about it. Please enlighten all of us, why don’t you?

Why don’t we just ask Jim to delete all of our postings and leave the thread alone for just your criticisms? You have complained about just about everyone’s postings and IMO, you should be banned. You don’t like what I said about D’Amato means I shouldn’t have posted it? You have big problems and we shouldn’t have to put up with it!

I think it might be possible that at some time Ketchup Boy, Horse Face, whatever we might want to call him, might have referred to his own self that way.

"He served in Vietnam, you know."

But from now on it'll be J-F'n-K, as a previous poster suggested.
