McMaster: Iran deal “fundamentally flawed…how do you trust this regime?”

Sep 21, 2017 12:31 pm By Robert Spencer

This is good to see, especially in light of earlier reports that McMaster was in favor of the Iran deal. Could he be coming around to his boss’ point of view, rather than molding Trump’s views to match his own? Free people can only hope.

“McMaster on ‘Fundamentally Flawed’ Iran Nuclear Deal: ‘How Do You Trust This Regime?,’” by Paul Crookston, Daily Caller, September 21, 2017:

…McMaster spoke to CNN’s Chris Cuomo, castigating the deal’s sunset clause, which lifts restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program after 2025, as well as the trustworthiness of the Iranian regime. He said the deal is “fundamentally flawed,” and quoted President Donald Trump’s declaration that the deal, agreed upon by his predecessor Barack Obama, was the worst of “all-time.”

“The deal is fundamentally flawed,” McMaster said. “As the president said, he called it the worst deal of all-time. It gave the Iranian regime all the benefits up front.”

“The flaws of the deal, the sunset clause that could really give this regime, who is not trustworthy, obviously, cover to advance a nuclear program and then have this threshold capability,” he added….

“Iran is continuing missile development, missile development that could be paired with a nuclear program later,” McMaster said. “The regime has not just walked up to the line but crossed the line, spinning too many centrifuges, too much heavy water.”

“So while the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency], the monitoring body, called them out on it and they’ve corrected some of this: How do you trust this regime to do it?” he asked….

“Much more rigorous enforcement is needed – the need to address the fundamental flaw, the sunset clause, the need to address other capabilities that could then threaten the world, from this autocratic, theocratic regime in Iran,” McMaster said….

“So, these are the things we have to work on together, but in the context of an overall Iran strategy, because Iran is destabilizing not just the Middle East, but poses a broader threat,” McMaster said. “Iran is perpetuating this humanitarian and political crisis in the Middle East.”

    As McMasters is in office longer he becomes aware of intelligence that does not support the Obama administration’s Iran deal that was suppressed or denied by the Obama deep state.
    Israel through it better relationship with the USA, because of President Trump is clearing this up and McMasters is getting his awareness changed, he might be smelling the coffee.

      Unless all Lobbyists working for overseas govt is banned , it will remain serious threat. Politicians, bureaucrats and media are on payroll of Muslim Lobbyists to further their agenda.

      Like Dems selling out American interests for thousands thrown their way by iranian Lobbyists to support nuke deal http://tinyurl.com/mcake4d

      Hillary got funds from the same lobbyists for her election campaign ! can you imagine what would have if that corrupt fart had won ?

    As much as people want to assume McMaster is a useful idiot for Islam, the fact is that he is a career soldier. Under Obama, who was his commanding officer, McMaster assumed much of the useful idiot for Islam approach which Obama demanded from everybody. Under Trump, that view is going to be tempered and approached somewhat more realistically as Trump is now his commanding officer.

      Don M., exactly: I do not know for certain; however, he impresses me as a CAREER soldier … one who MUST be “flexible” in order to advance. Further, he will speak up to voice an opinion, but, his overriding maxim is that he must, if he wants to remain comfortably in his position of influence, support POTUS.

      To me, if this assessment is true, McMaster is one of those who represent the most insidious and dangerous type of “advisor”; one who plays along in order to get along … but, at HIS earliest convenience, will sell POTUS down the river.

      Again, just my opinion, I suspect that POTUS Trump is aware of his game … and he has BOTH EYES on him. [I suspect that POTUS Trump is keeping him in that position, for any number of reasons; one being that he wants to show the people who so strongly supported McMaster, that McMaster is not the “top shelf” advisor which so many claimed; and, once the evidence is in place, and the timing is right, POTUS Trump will change him out with a more loyal and more pro-MAGA supporter.]

      POTUS Trump has his flaws and one can call him any number of names, but, the fair observer will be compelled to admit that he is no dummy. And, even more importantly, he is a pro-American fighter … one who despises the swamp and all the corrupt and immoral notions which it represents. My opinion: in front of our POTUS is a massive task, with so many enemies of the people. He is not the king [nor do we want him to be]. Give him time and our support and, most likely, although there are NO guarantees, positive things for this country will happen.

      A career soldier does have to acknowledge his commander-in-chief–but he does not have to throw his brains and values out the window. Certainly, one with courage and principles will not.

        The terrible side effect of them being the lynch pin in the petro dollar system which allows us to project more power than we’d be able to otherwise. We shall see in the coming months and years whether due to their own bad financial situation whether they accept oil payments in yuan and if this changes things.

    It becomes interesting with almost each passing day. President Trump speech before the UN assembly could be considered as the first major rebuke of what McMaster represents or what he has been “advising.” Now this. Call it “educating the (Mc) master.” So his (bad) influence on Trump might not be as bad as we have had suspected.

    About the hoax of a “deal’ with Iran about it going nuclear. Even the idea of having any kind of worthwhile agreement ” of any genuine value is folly and foolishness.
    Furthermore,those mullahs and ayatollahs in Iran with their falsehoods and deceptions of the many false doctrines of Islam in which they brainwash the Iranian people in believing is something that is both sad and tragic. Those ayatollahs and mullahs are, no doubt, just as deluded as the people who they thoroughly indoctrinate with false teachings of Islam. Of such demonic deception by false teachers who are also deluded such men a have been predicted in the Bible. For in the Bible it’s written that “Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived.” Second Timothy 3:13. [K.J.V.] All those mullahs and ayatollahs are, according to the doctrines of the Bible, Isaiah 8:20. false religious teachers .Meaning false teacher s who teach and indoctrinate the false doctrines of the false religion of Islam into the hearts and minds of others . Such false teachers are described in the Bible ,in Second Peter 2:1. “There were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”
    Therefore, to reply to the many different claims made by the imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam there is the Christian internet site. It’s http://www.answering-islam.org
    In addition, it should be make clear that in the context and meaning of the above Bible verse Second Peter 2:1. The word “destruction” does not mean “loss of being but loss of well-being ,as the destruction of well- being . That is “going to ruin” by ending up and a terrible place of awful suffering which the Bible call hell, Luke 16:19-31.

      The Iran nonsense will happen the same way as the North Korean nonsense happened. We will make strongly worded statements Iran will make promises with their fingers crossed while getting as many concessions out of the west as humanly possible and they will eventually go nuclear. This scenario is even more likely due to the fact that Iran is under the protection of the Chinese/Russian axis, and thanks to corruption and bad geo political decisions this axis is stronger than ever and getting stronger. Once Iran eventually goes nuclear they will feel they have the perfect trump card and this will embolden them further to engage in their favorite form of warfare which is proxy warfare.
      The Iran deal was one of many bad geo political decisions the west has made and it won’t be the last, since the west has really lost it’s edge due to growing soft and corrupted.

    The SODDY MASTER of McMaster has given him their permission to criticize IRAN and SHI’ITE ISLAM!

    The SODDIES are SELECTIVE ISLAMOPHOBES … but it ISN’T ‘Islamophobia’ WHEN THEY DO IT.

    In the intro:

    “Could he [McMaster] be coming around to his boss’ point of view, rather than molding Trump’s views to match his own? Free people can only hope.

    Huh?

    Is McMaster “…coming around…” to Pres. Trump’s point of view?

    If Pres. Trump has to defend his view against McMaster’s view, well, remove McMaster immediately!
