Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Obama ignores facts about Iran’s nuke deal violations, says “debates in our country should be informed by facts”

May 9, 2018 6:28 am By Robert Spencer

“The reality is clear,” Obama said. “The JCPOA is working – that is a view shared by our European allies, independent experts, and the current U.S. Secretary of Defense.”

It’s also a view that has been completely exploded by the evidence that Benjamin Netanyahu just presented of Iran’s violations of the deal and attempts to build a nuclear weapon. Obama ignores all this, just as he ignored reality in proclaiming that Islam was a religion of peace. His Leftist alternative universe is intact, but it doesn’t have anything to do with the real world.

“Obama Issues Statement on U.S. Iran Deal Exit: This ‘Turns Our Back on America’s Closest Allies,’” by Conor Beck, Washington Free Beacon, May 8, 2018:

Former President Barack Obama issued a rare public statement Tuesday following President Donald Trump’s announcement that the United States would be exiting the Iran deal.

Throughout Obama’s statement, he defended and explained the value of the deal, which he says “has significantly rolled back Iran’s nuclear program.”

“The reality is clear,” Obama said. “The JCPOA is working – that is a view shared by our European allies, independent experts, and the current U.S. Secretary of Defense.”

Obama contended that walking away from the deal–known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA–jeopardizes diplomacy with North Korea and risks America’s credibility with the world’s major powers.

“Debates in our country should be informed by facts, especially debates that have proven to be divisive,” Obama said.

He went on to describe how the JCPOA was not just an agreement between the U.S. and Iran but also concerned the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the European Union, Russia, and China.

He explained why he thinks the JCPOA has been a success, saying it has “worked in rolling back Iran’s nuclear program,” “does not rely on trust” but on “inspections and verification,” and has been complied with.

“Finally, the JCPOA was never intended to solve all our problems with Iran,” he said.

“Because of these facts, I believe that the decision to put the JCPOA at risk without any Iranian violation of the deal is a serious mistake,” Obama wrote….

    The fact that history proves you cannot make a deal with the Ayatollahs of Islam was ignored by Obama, is a fact.

      Maybe Obama thought he could swing it with them as he’s a member of their club. But he conveniently forgot that they’ll lie to their own mothers – when they’re not abusing them, that is.

        FACTS ARE, in fact, GUIDING PRESIDENT TRUMP… the facts uncovered by Israeli intelligence in Iran … thousands of facts showing that Iran is maintaining its bomb program under top secrecy.

      ……and Obummer’s deal sure wasn’t a deal except for Iran and I hope it is turned around….but we can’t get the pallet of money Obummer gave them back can we? but that’s what we get for electing a man just because he’s black…well, part black anyway.

    There are no treaties with the infidel in Islam, only truces (hudna). Truce is used as a military tactic to build or regain your strength. The Treaty of Hudaibiya, between the Prophet of Islam, and the Meccan’s is the template for all muslim “treaties”. The Treaty was broken by the Prophet.The JCPOA was destined to be broken by the Iranians. Trump just got in first.

      Iran doesn’t have to break the deal. Under the deal Iran is free to develop nuclear weapons when the deal expires.

        What is that called? Ah, yes, an “inconvenient” fact – not emphasized to US citizens. And the not-so-hidden Shadow Government is shuttling about to hang the problem on the next generation in direct violation of the Logan Act.

        Kicking the can down the road is a bad idea when a cancer is involved.

    • Rufluc says

      I agree with you Peter. Dealing with Muslims is like playing a game of true or false. They just tell you what you want to hear, whilst conniving a plan of retribution behind your back, which only takes effect when they’re in a position of power. The exact strategy that Muhammed himself carried out time and again whilst the warmongering murderer was alive.

      The three stages of Jihad also dictate just that philosophy, which was also ordained by Muhammed himself.

      The naive Europeans, who we know are heavily controlled and influenced by the liberal left infestation that is infiltrating their positions of power, appear totally oblivious to all of this.

      When you are dealing with a theocratic regime that is governed by the teachings of Islam, you can never leave with a feeling that trust and honesty has dominated the proceedings. They don’t play that game. The ‘game’ that peaceful civilizations were built upon.

      Islam is a cult of conquest. It’s sole purpose is one of total global domination, using whatever means necessary to achieve its evil ambitions, and if lies and deceit help with its mission then they will readily use it to their benefit.
      Muslims don’t live by a moral code like the rest of us do. They live by the evil teachings of a mass murdering paedophile who was clearly off his head!
      Life itself is cheap to them, solely because they are so mind screwed by their beliefs, that they honestly believe that giving their life ‘to the cause’, then 72 virgins will await them in some mythical paradise! What awaits their women God only knows!

      It really does beggar belief that there are currently over 1.6 billion people who follow and believe in the evil rantings of a madman from the 7th century. Whereas 100’s millions fought against a similar madman in the 20th century, who had similar aspirations of world domination. But this one wasn’t a paedophile, nor do I believe did he ever actually kill anyone himself, but he was nevertheless eventually destroyed and reviled ever since.
      Anyone today who follows his teachings are despised and labelled a far right neo nazi, by those very same people (Liberal leftists) who in the same breath will readily support, sympathise and defend anyone who follows the rantings of the 7th century madman. Who in effect is arguably far more evil than Hitler ever was, especially if body count is taken into consideration! And that is really saying something!

      Yes, we are living in a very mad world indeed. A world that has been widely infected by deluded leftist PC propagating idiots that are aiding and abetting the spread of this Islamic evil, and it needs to be stopped!
      So in short, I’m fully in support of Trumps decision to pull out of this worthless ‘agreement’, because in reality it’s not worth the paper it’s written on!

        HELLO RUFLUC — Thank you for an excellent comment which sums up basic truths about Islam.

        I have recommended this video several times here at JW: “What Is Taqiyya?” by one of our most energetic counter-jihadists — Dr. David Wood.

        It runs a very short 5 minutes or thereabout. Highly recommended for family, friends, clergy, federal / state / city officials where each Jihad Watch reader lives.

    Under the Iran deal Iran was free to develop nuclear weapons when the deal expires in 84 months. The Iran deal is insane and Obama is an idiot or traitor or both.

    • Leo O Zakharoff says

      May 9, 2018 at 8:38 am

      Obama is a TRAITOR, at least, that is my belief, until proven otherwise, that he isn’t.
      Didn’t he say, the sound of morning prayer via speakers, is the sweetest sound he ever heard?
      Didn’t he also BOW to the King of Saudi Arabia? A U.S. President NEVER bows to anyone,
      except, maybe, to his Bovine wife; another radical.
      I truly believe Obama IS a Muslim….leo

      • jihad3tracker says

        May 9, 2018 at 1:52 pm

        HELLO LEO —-

        Yes, Obama hates Americans who are not “persons of color”. The definition of treason is “giving aid and comfort to the enemy” — and he certainly did so by his words and deeds (especially the Iran nuke deal).

        REMEMBER HIM SAYING “THE FUTURE MUST NOT BELONG TO THOSE WHO SLANDER THE PROPHET OF ISLAM” ????

        That was spoken in PREPARED REMARKS — not off the cuff — at the United Nations in October of 2015, if my memory is accurate.

        So B. Hussein Obama came to the defense of a thief, raider, liar, pedophile, torturer, mass murderer. WE KNOW WHERE IS VALUE SYSTEM IS LOCATED — the same neighborhood Allah lives in.

        • jihad3tracker says

          May 9, 2018 at 1:54 pm

          By the way, if you and other commenters here have not seen David Wood’s superb video titled “Three Stages Of Jihad”, please watch it.

          A bit long, so set aside some undistracted time. As a bonus, Obama makes several hilarious guest appearances to peddle his best attempts at taqiyya.

      • Daniel Triplett says

        Agreed, Caliph Obama is the most successful Muslim since Muhammad.

        No, it’s not right to say he’s a traitor, lol, he’s a complete fraud period and has been for years. He’s just living up to what he was brought up to be. When someone purposely seals their records, they have something to hide. However when you have lied about something the truth eventually come out, it always does. Netanyahu found out the truth about Iran. Gotta give those Jews credit for what they did. God bless Trump, the USA and Israel.

    Obama is still the president of the deep state.
    Kerry is Secretary of deep State.
    They travel to these countries and are negotiating deals, openly flaunting that they are in charge NOT Trump..such severe violations of the Logan act, it is borderline treason.
    Ironically, they illegally weaponized the Logan Act under Obama. with phoney FISA warrants, and illegally politically motivated unmasking, and LEAKING and subsequent deep state FBI arrest of Flynn by Democrat operative Comey,
    for speaking with Kislyak BEfORE having full authority to do so as Trumps NSA pick..
    To sabotage Trump before he could even be sworn in…
    But now it is critical that the Democrat deep state continue to finance rebels in Syria and to initiate gas attacks on children.. To start WW3 with Russia..BEFORE next November.. So everyone in the USA can blame it on Trump…and vote Democrat…

  9. melek-ric says

    May 9, 2018 at 12:38 pm

    Ah yes…the word “clear” again. I’ve realized that whenever a Progressive politician uses that word (in phrases such as “The reality is clear” or “Let me be clear”), clarity is the furthest thing from their mind. In fact, the more deceptive and manipulative their intention the more they deploy that word. It’s a sure sign of Leftist obfuscation at work.

  10. somehistory says

    May 9, 2018 at 1:09 pm

    There was no way they were going to “comply” with any restrictions voluntarily. And they were to “inspect” their own facilities to make sure they were “complying.”

    It was a “deal” between o and his buddies in iran. Secretly sending gobs of money…in the billions…was meant to help them succeed quickly in building their weaponry.
    When they used their weapons against Israel, it would please him, no end.

  11. pragmatist says

    May 9, 2018 at 1:15 pm

    Leaving aside the fact of the Israeli intelligence, the deal was always flawed as it was completely one sided. It would have done nothing whatsoever to prevent Iran’s development of nuclear weapons, and Trump has done exactly the right thing.

  13. Frank says

    May 9, 2018 at 3:38 pm

    The Liberal Media has always described this as a good “deal” for the USA. A few facts to help clear that up:
    1. this is not treaty that was ratified by the US Senate
    2. this was not an Executive agreement between the nations
    3. Iran never signed anything. In fact, their leader specifically told their governing bodies not to ratify anything so they could not be held legally responsible for any breeches

    How is this even called a “Deal?” President Trump did the right thing but pulling the USA out of this one-sided agreement

    Obama may not know what he’s talking about and could still be wrong about the Iran deal, but pardon me if I don’t trust “Israeli intelligence.” This is the same Israel that attacked the USS Cole, attacked Syrian targets using US transponder codes without evidence nearly igniting a hot war with Russia, and routinely sells US secrets to Russia? Excuse me if I take “Israeli facts” with a large chunk of kosher salt. Did you even take a look at the “evidence” Bibi presented?

    To be a fly on the wall in the Obama house every time President Trump wipes out another Obama deal that was meant to hurt America, as Vice President Pence’s comment: No pallets of money were used to get the 3 hostages from North Korea, we applaud you President Trump as for Obama to have his “whats best for America and the world deals” be dismantled by a man he tried so hard to stop, nothing you have done will remain…..it will disappear with time and you will be remembered as a man who tried and failed to bring The United States of America down.

    This Iran deal is a graft opportunity for all the corporations who would sell their mothers for contracts with the devil. Let’s take Boeing. Moved their HQ to Chicago. Landed big jet contract with the mullah. Spit. This is what the Iran deal is about. Bought not wrought.

    Is there anybody who knows if it is possible to get a high resolution copy of shown picture of Obama because I’ ve heard some rumors about his wedding ring which should show the Islamic Shahada. Then we could enlarge this picture and if the rumors are true, it will proof that Obama’ s true mission is to show us the finger gesture and propagate Islam. A perfect illustration of what really is happening.

  23. Chris Malan says

    May 10, 2018 at 7:13 am

    Facts and evidence are not taken into account by most arts and humanities monkeys, of which, like the majority of politicians, Obama is one.

    Here’s a fact: the USA is so deep into debt it can’t get out of it. Sooner or later a default is on the cards.

  24. JM says

    May 10, 2018 at 9:17 am

    Obama has no credibility in my eyes. This man came to India and advised the govt of Modi to be tolerant to the Muslims! I felt like puking! This idiot does not know that India is the most tolerant of nations in that neighborhood. While Hindus in Bangladesh and Pakistan are being decimated (along with other non-muslim minorities), Hindu majority India gives equal rights to all its citizens. Heck, Muslims in India have their own Muslim Personal Law mediated through Sharia courts!

    Obama is a closet Moslem who favors Iran only to please a constituency without looking into the merits of the case.
