At least Arnold got some money. All that Rhodes got was a lousy book deal.

I will be interested to read the take of Ben Rhodes on the Iran deal. Traitor.

Rhodes is the new Benedict Arnold.

This Iran deal – in all aspects – is the worst of all time. Iran will have nukes in 4-5 years and we will have paid for them.

Maybe Trump, Tillerson and Pompeo can fix this but it is a tall order. Just glad we have these guys on the job.

As for a reason, a key could be religion. The father of Obama was a Shia Muslim. Let’s remember that Shia are the minoritary Islamic trend (most Muslims are Sunni) that is mainly located in Iran.

And Obama admired his father.

That doesn’t mean Obama was secretly Muslim, as some conspiracy theories support. But very likely Obama is a cultural Muslims, the same most of Western people, we are cultural Christians or Judeo-Christians, even if we are Atheists.

That, for example, would explain that the main statics in US (GDP and unemployment), they diverge from related indexes for FIRST TIME. By related indexes I mean Energy Consumption, Labor Workforce, Industrial Production Index and similar ones, which are not fine-tuned but are reliable when it comes to the trend.

And what could be the reason?. Well, for cultural Christians, lying is wrong, but for cultural Muslims, lying to infidels (and here Obama probably identify Republicans as infidels) is a virtue. It’s called Taqiyya and it’s even a mandate. So from the point of view of Obama, very likely, lying was right.

This is a juicy topic. Has no one else commented?

The Iran deal is probably the worst failure in the Obama foreign policy grab-bag.

I’ve forgotten which Obama operative said it, now the Big O is out of office, but one of them conceded Iran was the most discussed issue inside the Obama White House but the least acknowledged to American citizens.

One hint on the blog glitch problem:

I’ve discovered that if you force a cache refresh by pressing CTL + F5, you can usually make the blog display the comments and the posts properly. Let me know if you see the most recent posts when you do that.

All you computer experts or semi-experts out there, do you have any advice for fixing things, based on this new information? I’m still getting professionals to help, but they’re taking longer than I’d like.
