Video: Iran’s Foreign Minister Zarif Slams U.S.A.
by Shifra on January 21, 2016What do you do after the U.S. gives you $1.7B and agrees to a deal giving you just about everything you want? Well, apparently, you go on camera to mock and insult the U.S. Because…gratitude. Via BizPac Review: In a new interview with the Associated Press, Iran’s top diplomat slapped the hand of the United States. Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told the AP that the US has an “addiction to sanctions” ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos. He said the nuclear sanctions that the US called “crippling” were anything but, and that it better be careful about imposing new sanctions. “The United States was not able to stop Iran’s nuclear program through sanctions,” he said. “They imposed...

The Feckless: Power Says “Discussions” Are a Form of UN Action Against Iran’s Missile Test
by Shifra on December 10, 2015If discussions are a ‘form of action,’ then maybe we should be having ‘discussions’ with ISIS, oops, I mean, ISIL. And a strongly-worded letter! Yep, that’ll do it. Not. Via CNS News: Pressed Wednesday on the U.N. Security Council’s failure to respond firmly to Iran’s ballistic missile tests in violation of U.N. resolutions, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power said the matter was being discussed – and that at the world body, discussions were a “form” of action. “Discussions are a form of U.N. action,” she told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “It’s a little bit like a hearing is a form of congressional action.” Related: Fox News: US conducting ‘serious review’ of latest Iran missile test Ayote.Senate.Gov: Ayotte,...

Iranian General: We Have Rockets Ready To Attack Saudi Arabia
by Pat_S on October 3, 2015Iran’s Brigadier-General Morteza Qurbani says Iran has 2,000 rockets for attack on Saudia Arabia awaiting the orders of Supreme Leader Khamenei. Iran has rockets ‘to attack Saudi Arabia’ He explained that the lines of defence for the Iranian revolution are today in Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. “We are ready to carry out the orders of Khamenei and move anywhere he wants.” Iran is also sending advisers, equipment, weapons and troops to fight in Syria in support of Assad. Perhaps predictions that Iran would spend the windfall $100 billion on improving their economy and not for military adventures might be wrong. Surprise!

Liberal Law Professor Alan Dershowitz Now Furious With Obama
by Shifra on September 7, 2015One question for the ‘esteemed and brilliant’ Harvard law professor: What took you so long? Via Algemeiner: Long-time Democrat, Israel defender and famed law professor Alan Dershowitz told a synagogue audience on Saturday night that he was “furious” with President Obama over the Iran nuclear deal. Speaking at Manhattan’s illustrious Park East Synagogue on the Upper East Side… Dershowitz implied he had been betrayed by the president he had formerly championed. He recounted being invited to the Oval Office before Obama’s reelection in 2012, where the president had committed to being vigilant on the Iranian nuclear issue. Obama has now crossed many of his own red lines, said Dershowitz, who backed Obama in two elections. The international law expert, who...

Obama Inspired By Story Of Young Iranian Humanitarian
by Pat_S on September 3, 2015Aw, how can anyone worry about the Iran nuke deal when we hear a story like this? President Obama leaves thoughtful comment on Humans of New York photo from Iran Humans of New York photographer Brandon Stanton is currently blogging in Iran. During his trip, Stanton met a father and son who were celebrating the boy’s tenth birthday. The famed blogger posted an image on Thursday from the Iranian town of Tabriz. A father told this story about his son. “Today’s his tenth birthday. He’s a very emotional young man. He likes to solve other people’s problems. One time when he was five years old, he came with me to the store and we bought two pounds of fresh apricots....

PBS Journalist Gwen Ifill Mocks Netanyahu Over Iran Deal Passage
by Shifra on September 3, 2015Gwen Ifill claims to be a journalist. Strange, I thought journalists were supposed to be non-partisan. This is a woman who moderated the 2008 vice-presidential debate, as she was putting the finishing touches on her homage to President Selfie Stick Obama, ‘Politics and Race In the Age of Obama.’ And yesterday, Ifill was so delighted that the Iran deal passed, and she mocked Netanyahu in a tweet. I’m not sure which was more shameful and disgusting, her original tweet, or her non-apology ‘explanation’ of her tweet. Via Townhall: PBS journalist Gwen Ifill isn’t even trying to hide her cheerleading for the Obama administration. After the president gained the 34th and final vote needed to secure his nuclear negotiation with Iran...

In Defense of the Iran Deal, Kerry Pleads American Impotency and Foreign Supremacy
by Maynard on August 13, 2015Kerry can't defend the Iran deal on its merits, so instead he tells us that America is weak and impotent and can neither lead nor act independently, and therefore we must take our marching orders from China.

Video: ‘Veterans Against The Deal’ In Scathing New Ad
by Shifra on August 11, 2015Obama has attacked anti-nuke deal Republicans, comparing them to Iran’s hardliners. And he has accused American Jews of “dual loyalty” for opposing the plan. So, will he call these Vets “just like ISIS?” Via Bloomberg: Obama has said recently that there are only two camps: those who support the deal versus those who would prefer a bloody and costly war like the conflict in Iraq. The new ad campaign complicates that, asserting that the deal itself will lead to more war. And the voices putting forth that case do not prefer war; they are soldiers who have had enough of it. The group, Veterans Against the Deal, was founded last month as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, and it does not disclose...

U.S. Negotiator To Senate: We Will Keep ‘Side Deals’ Secret, For ‘National Security’
by Shifra on August 6, 2015Shorter Wendy Sherman to Senate: It’s none of your business! Via CNS News: It is both “appropriate” and in the U.S. national security interest for side agreements between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to remain secret, the State Department’s top nuclear negotiator told senators on Wednesday. Undersecretary of state Wendy Sherman tussled with Senator David Vitter (R-La.) during a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as he asked her repeatedly if she thought it appropriate that she – who does not get to vote on the deal – has seen the side agreements, while lawmakers who do get to vote will not…. She did not explain why she had herself been able...

Obama On Nuke Deal: Netanyahu Is Wrong, I’m Right
by Shifra on August 5, 2015Because how could ‘the smartest man in the room’ ever be wrong? ….Barack Obama on Wednesday said Israel was the only country to object to the Iran nuclear deal, opposition he said was “sincere” but “wrong.” In an address to the American University in Washington, Obama said the Iran deal was “the strongest nonproliferation agreement ever negotiated. And because it’s such a strong deal, every nation in the world that has commented publicly, with the exception of the Israeli government, has expressed support.” ….“I’ve had to make a lot of tough calls as president. But whether or not this deal is good for American security, this isn’t a hard one, it isn’t even close,” he said. Lashing out at unnamed...

WH Tweets About Iran Deal… To Vicious Anti-Jewish Hate Site
by Shifra on August 4, 2015If anyone in the Obama Regime had any shame, the tweet would have been deleted by now. Via Breitbart: The White House tweeted to the anti-Israel website Mondoweiss on Tuesday, via the Obama administration’s official Twitter account supporting the Iran deal, @TheIranDeal. Mondoweiss has also been widely accused of antisemitism–even by far-left critics of Israel. The tweet came in response to a Mondoweiss tweet about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that the 24-day inspections delay in the deal would allow Iran to hide nuclear material. Netanyahu made the claim on a webcast to the American Jewish community. MJ Rosenberg, a former Media Matters foreign policy blogger (who left when he himself was accused of antisemitism) wrote in March 2014...

Huckabee Invokes Holocaust In Criticism Of Iran deal, Dems Throw Hissy Fits
by Shifra on July 27, 2015Former Gov. Mike Huckabee likened the agreement on an Iranian nuclear deal to “marching the Israelis to the door of the oven,” a reference to the Holocaust. Sounds about right to me. However, the Dems are losing their lunches over his comments. POTUS: ….Obama, asked about the comments at a news conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, said they were part of a pattern of attacks by 2016 Republican presidential candidates that would be “considered ridiculous if it weren’t so sad.” Such issues as the Iran nuclear deal deserve serious debate, not outlandish statements, he said…. Obama also singled out Ted Cruz, a Texas senator running for the GOP nomination, for suggesting in the wake of the nuclear deal that Obama...
