					<description><![CDATA[To what extent does the government of Iran represent its people? I recall pictures of Tehran as recently as the 1970s, where it looked like any European city. Women wearing miniskirts and commerce thriving (Google &quot;BBC Iranian Women-- before and after the Islamic revolution&quot; for pictures). Then came the fundamentalists. I find it hard to believe that the Iranian women who were 20 in 1975 are impressed with today&#039;s culture there.

That said, I&#039;ve been told that the Iranian nuclear facilities are hard targets and would be difficult to destroy. On the other hand, Iran&#039;s electricity infrastructure is probably a pretty soft target. Why not just tell them what they need to do to shut down their nuclear weapons development and destroy their electrical infrastructure if they fail to comply? Start small to show seriousness and escalate until they cry uncle. Their cost of flipping us off is entirely too low at the moment.

Or are we just going to wait until Isreal solves the problem--possibly at far higher cost to the world?]]></description>

&quot;Biden&quot; is taking care of the the BIG SATAN.
Meanwwhile, &quot;his&quot; pals in Mullah-stan (and their pals in Lebanon, Syria and Yemen) will take care of the LITTLE SATAN.

Neat, nifty...and elegant.

					<description><![CDATA[Cornhead:

I&#039;m not sure what you mean by &quot;exposed.&quot; He&#039;s certainly been written about. I&#039;ve written about him &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thenewneo.com/2022/03/10/meet-robert-malley-the-head-negotiator-of-our-glorious-new-iran-deal/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and also &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thenewneo.com/2022/03/09/an-iran-deal-many-times-worse-than-obamas/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.  He&#039;s been discussed &lt;a href=&quot;https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/01/bidens-new-iran-envoy-robert-malley-has-tainted-history-of-weakness-towards-mullah-regime/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;at Legal Insurrection&lt;/a&gt;. That LI post describes how he was booted from the 2008 Obama campaign because he was meeting with Hamas. But of course he was brought back on the scene by Obama to negotiate the Iran Deal.  &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/03/find-someone-who-looks-at-you-like-rob-malley-looks-at-iran/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;This &lt;i&gt;National Review&lt;/i&gt; article&lt;/a&gt; from March of 2022 dealt with him, too, in very negative terms that explained where he&#039;s coming from.  There was a &lt;i&gt;Commentary&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.commentary.org/jonathan-tobin/robert-malley-and-the-shift-to-appeasement-obama-foreign-policy/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;article about him&lt;/a&gt; in 2014.  And &lt;i&gt;Tablet&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/this-isnt-obamas-iran-deal-its-much-much-worse&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;covered the problem with Malley&lt;/a&gt; last March. Here&#039;s an excerpt:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Anyone seeking to gauge the imminent outcome of the international talks over Iran’s nuclear program being held in Vienna should take a look at reports from late January that three top U.S. diplomats had quit—largely in protest over the direction set by U.S. Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley, who serves as the U.S. government’s chief negotiator.

Having served for two years in former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s Iran Action Group, I knew that this development was tantamount to a public cry for an intervention. Such resignations—not of conservative dissenters, but of career staff and President Joe Biden’s own political appointees—should have been cause for Biden or Secretary Antony Blinken to recall Malley and investigate. Their failure to do so is a sign either of a troubling lack of attention to the talks, or else the possibility that Malley—who served in the same capacity under President Barack Obama when the first Iran deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was originally negotiated and signed—has been given a free hand to negotiate whatever he wants, as long as he gets Iran to sign.

...[Blinken]  he has let Malley continue to concede issue after issue in Vienna. Multiple career officials view these capitulations as so detrimental to U.S. national security that they contacted me requesting that I rapidly share details of these concessions with Congress and the public in an effort to stop them.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

What do all these pieces and &quot;exposing&quot; have in common?  Only the right cares about any of it, and for the most part only the right reads about it.]]></description>
