Obama appears desperate to get a deal with Iran to cement his “legacy,” and maybe the bombs will fall after he is out of office. “Iran: The ‘Americans Are Begging Us for a Deal,’” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, February 5, 2015:
A top Iranian military leader claims that U.S. officials have been “begging us” to sign a nuclear deal during closed door negotiations with Tehran over its contested nuclear program, according to recent comments made to the Iranian state-controlled media.
Mohammad Reza Naghdi, the commander of the Basij, a paramilitary group operating under the wing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC), recently claimed that the “Americans are begging us for a deal on the negotiation table,” according to comments published in Persian and independently translated for the Washington Free Beacon.
Naghdi added that American officials routinely “plea” with Iran in talks and that the United States is negotiating from a position of weakness, according to his comments, which follow earlier reports claiming that Iran’s leading negotiator “frequently shouts” at U.S. officials.
The military leader’s remarks appear to jibe with new reports that the United States is conceding ground to Iran in talks and will now allow it to “keep much of its uranium-enriching technology,” according to the Associated Press.
Iran, the AP reported, “refuses to meet U.S.-led demands for deep cuts in the number of centrifuges it uses to enrich uranium, a process that can create material for anything from chemotherapy to the core of an atomic bomb.”
Regional experts say that the Iranians feel that they are in a position of power in the talks and believe that the Obama administration is desperate to ink a deal….

I doubt Israel will be bound by any deal Obama and Ali make…

America is begging to save them from being nuked by Israel.
Don McKellar says
“…and maybe the bombs will fall after he is out of office.”
One will explode the week after he is out of office and is on the golf course in Hawaii so that doesn’t have to deal with it. The Islamic world knows they owe him that much. Probably it will just be a test from Iran so that Saudi Arabia can have an excuse to go to work on theirs to “balance the terror.” Although I can’t say for sure if they’ll wait that long — I’d put that at the latest time point for an Iranian nuclear explosion to happen.
Jax Tolmen says
I seriously doubt Israel will tolerate anything short of full disarmament. What is the point of these negotiations, if the moment they conclude – Israel annihilates/glasses Iran anyway.
Obama may be acting to protect his legacy – but it appears his legacy may be to spark the first Nuclear War in history, and lead to the deaths of millions of people because of his failure to comprehend the reality of the situation.
Brian Hoff says
Israel it too late to do anything Iran have alway over 25 nuke warheads. To Israel to bomb first will make then plook bad.
Godwin says
It may have 100 nukes but the accuracy of its delivery system is in question.

If the UN are of any reference, Israel looks bad even when it does nothing. Better to live and look bad than die and look bad.

I’m trying to imagine the devil making a deal with his equal …

Qui bono? Who benefits from this bowing to Iran? Obama, like all Presidents, is a “post turtle,” elevated to his place of power by others, doing the bidding of that particular clique. Which clique? Is it George Soros, & the Council on Foreign Relations? Who in the ruling circles of this country is benefiting from this pro-Iran posture? I’d guess the “permanent war economy” people.

One of the top Islamic scholars quote: ” and when the armies are raise, and the Mahdi comes, it is good bye to Saudi Arabia , the most monstrous betrayal of Islam. Let it be written in your book tonight , let it be written in my book tonight good bye to bad rubbish!
Saudi has a much bigger worry than Israel, they don’t want to destroy Jerusalem, they want to claim it, genocide all the Jews and claim the temple for allah and it’s Mahdi, where as Saudi n Mecca they want to blow it to kingdom come.
Obama is a mini me of their Mahdi. Obamas legacy will lead to the death of billions of people not millions.
Angemon says
As far as I can remember, this is the only thing to come from Iran I actually consider “credible”.

“…and maybe the bombs will fall after he is out of office.”
The whole American system needs a clean up. The founding fathers relied on the false premise that the American people is smart enough to elect a decent, honest, courageous, virtuous and patriotic president who really loves his country.
This is not the case, at least, not anymore.
America needs a new system. I would suggest a feudal one with a strong parliament to keep it in check.
Even a “bad” president, would do his best so that the bombs don’t fall after he is out of office, because the successor would be his own son.
Bill Coleman says
How about changing the Constitution back to where the states appointed the Senators in DC.
FarmerMike says
Salah, & others, how about this strategy:
We should file a class action suit, against the Koran for its multiple hate speech directives to kill us unbelievers, who presently number a class of about 300 million in the US; & against the Imams for teaching these hateful directives; & also against the mosques for being places dedicated to such teachings by such Imams.
Such a class action suit would have to be noted in the major media, dontcha think?
This would be a peaceful exercise of our First Amendment rights, & help awaken the “Silence of the Media Lambs” to begin “bah-h-hing” about this clear & present “stealth jihad.” We must force the media to stop being a multi-cultural “No-Go Zone” for vitally important news.
And if the media continues to wrap itself in blindness & deafness & silence, we always have the Second Amendment we can employ. After which we can talk about the relative merits of feudalism, & states appointing senators, etc….
Let’s give the First Amendment a workout first, through the courts & the press.
What do you & others think?

Lu says
There’s got to be a “way of law” of doing what you are suggesting – e.g. filing a suit. The biggest danger I see is that the law suit initiators would receive immediate death threats from the Cult and will be constantly intimidated by MSM – that’s without any doubt.
Actually, what you propose is the ONLY process the sane and freedom-loving MAJORITY of Americans can still do. We have not surrendered yet as Europe did – they are hopelessly dhimmified and countries like the UK and France are probably beyond the point of return …
So how can your idea be initiated? Whom to ask to file the suit? (You mean “we the people” can do it ourselves?)
Louis says
The British parliamentary system works much better. In that system the power does not vest in one person, but in the winning political party. That party then has the power to get things done applying the principles they believe in and for which they were elected. The result, for the most part, is stable and effective government which must operate within the bounds of the constitution and the courts. If the Prime Minister overreaches his authority then the members of his party can throw him out. And they can do that without the complications of the USA’s impeachment proceedings, which in reality are not effective in stopping fools, traitors to the US constitution, or tyrants.
Martin Vink says
The deal is that Iran can strike first.
umbra says
iran can try and strike first, but as it stands it will always come second in any war against Israel.

Regarding the notion that Christians committed evil deeds in the Dark Ages. That is why they are called Dark. It was during that time that Islam was born. Then Christians started to read the Bible and created Democracy. Islam is still in the Dark Ages. In that respect they deserve our sympathy.
Christians now realize the power of love while Muslims have never doubted their duty to kill Christianity. Christians are aware of a prophesy for the end of the World and Muslims are anxious to make it happen.
Comparing Islam with the Christianity of the Dark Ages appears fair until we realize that it is the Muslims who keep invading and the Christians who keep defending. Maybe that tradition ought to change?
CogitoErgoSum says
Islam will forever be stuck in the Dark Ages. After telling the Muslims that their religion had been perfected for them, Muhammad died. Since he also told his followers that he was the last messenger sent by Allah, he effectively cut off any possibility of further instructions from the Muslim god. For Muslims the Quran is all there is and it cannot be changed because, per Muhammad, it’s “perfect.” Islam is what it is and it can not be anything but what is has been since the time of Muhammad. Muhammad is dead and Allah is not talking. Islam is a sealed tomb. And yet……….the tomb of Jesus is empty for He lives and is with us always. Muhammad is dead. Jesus is alive. Hope abides.
AJ Liberphile says
Well put Cogito. This is indeed the case. Attempting to reform Islam is like putting lipstick on a pig.
Canadian TV presenter Irshad Manji proposes a thorough revision of Islam in her books, for example The Trouble with Islam Today, A wake-up call for honesty and change. On one level, itt’s a lovely idea, but it ignores the fundamental evil of the aleged Mohammed.
The only answers I can see are to imprison, execute or exile active trouble-making/criminal Moslems (and their multicultural friends) from civilised countries, embargo and defend against Moslem regions while bombarding them with refutations of Islam.

WHEN OBAMA WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT ON 11-04-2008
it was the 29th anniversary of the Iranian Hostage Crisis-a prophetic sign anticipating he’d be the greatest enabler of radical Iranian power since hapless Jimmy Carter. And what did Carter’s abandoning of the pro-US Shah for Ayatollah Khomeine led to in the region? An eight year war between Iran and Iraq where one million died and millions were injured. With over 200,000 dead in Syria and ISIS killing thousands more one million dead could be reached in half the time.
And now Iran is getting the bomb. It’s frightening.

Gamaliel says
Obama is terrified of a war with Iran. He wants desperately believe that he can negotiate a solution. Irritating Netanyahu keeps telling him the truth. That’s why he hates Netanyahu so much.
FarmerMike says
Robert Spencer, how come my posts about a possible class action suit are being consistently blocked? I am making a rational, peaceful & legal proposal. How come these posts are being blocked? Hunh?
