One of the Iran “side deals”
Well, this is certainly encouraging:
We already knew a “secret deal” had been drafted between the IAEA and Tehran; and while it is standard operating procedure for the IAEA to make inspection arrangements with individual nation states, it is not SOP for the United Nations to cede its investigative authority””especially when they’re dealing with a hostile government that is notorious for waxing uncooperative with international inspectors.
This is unprecedented. Under this agreement, Tehran will be allowed to employ its own experts and equipment to search for evidence, the existence of which they have repeatedly and enthusiastically denied.
What does this mean for the future of the Iran deal in Congress? I have no idea””but there’s no ignoring the fact that Democrats who have come out in support of this deal have either been totally snookered, or are (however unlikely) somehow in the know and thus complicit in this blatant precursor to a war crime.
I believe that the side deal could have been revealed to be that the US would supply the Iranian government with atomic weapons and the ICBMs to deliver them—“the rope with which we will hang them“—and the Democrats in Congress would still not be able to muster enough votes for an Obama override. That’s profoundly cynical and depressing, but that’s what I believe. I hope I’m wrong (which I notice I’ve been saying a lot lately, haven’t I?).
Obama has been planning this for a long, long time. Perhaps the best thing I can say about Hillary Clinton is that I have a feeling (it’s just a hunch) that she was not totally on board, and one of the reasons she left was because of that, which gave room for Obama to find the absolutely perfect instrument for his plans, John Kerry. Do I blame them? Of course. But it could not have be accomplished—and this is key—without the belief that enough Democrats in Congress would stick by them.
[NOTE: And no, Republicans did not cede their right to treaty approval by passing Corker-Menendez. I’ve discussed that in depth before and I may discuss it again, but if you do a search on the blog you can find many posts about it. If you only have time for one, look at this. There’s also this.
Obama found a flaw in the treaty-approval system and he attacked in that soft and vulnerable spot. Corker-Menendez was a desperate attempt to create a tool with a chance of stopping him.]

obama couldnt find his own shadow on a sunny day.. when did he do the analysis? when on the basketball court or when he bumped into bill clinton on the golf course? or was it during one of those multimillion dollar vacations the has gone on our dime?
sorry… but this is akin to the lion of the senate dems getting help from the KGB to act against ronald reagan…
he did not attack that or think that, he is a puppet… not a political idiot savant who cant talk but can do 43 dimensional chess to figure that out.
he is following a script and other stuff from people passing strategy who are wll connected and off the radar… they are connected to external organs of other states who ARE and have been doing such analysis since about 1945…

unlike then, the borders are open, the communications are open, people have their own email servers and they can also chat behind closed doors..
so give me a break…
there are two ways to manage.
one is to hire people who are more competant than yourself and pay them well and be very competent.
the other way is to lift up morons or people who are unable to do the job, run interference for them, and they become servants to you as they cant do anything without that connection!!!
obama and so many Dems are the latter… complete sell outs who have to do what they are told to prevent the skeletons of their own closets to be let out and unguarded from action.
its that simple… if they are elected they are not the sharpest crayons in the box, but are the most servile sell outs who can be bought or placed because of the dirt… from barney to clinton.. .

Artfldgr:
You are underestimating Obama immensely, and in addition you continue to misunderstand something I’ve specifically addressed time and again—to you.
Let me clarify one more time, and I hope it’s the last time I need to do this: when I write that Obama did this or that, or thought or planned this or that, if I meant he did it or thought it all by himself I would write that. I have often stated that he has advisors and is a man of the left. I have also stated that he is intelligent and not just a puppet, and that he is also makes decisions and has input into those decisions. His is not a solo effort, but he is not just a puppet—he and his confederates are probably on the same page most of the time.
I don’t have time to go into the full explanation every time I write about what Obama has done. Nor do I think it is necessary. But no, he is not some sort of brilliant maverick: he is a man of the left. His greatest gift is in hiding his true nature successfully and selling himself to the American people, but he certainly does not do that alone.
Of course Obama & Co. knew exactly what they were doing re whether the Iran deal would be a treaty or not. It was not a treaty, it was an executive agreement, and he knew that would hold up.
I’ve written about his (and their) strategy on this many many times before. I’m not going to go into the details again, but some of them are here. His approach was clear quite some times ago; see this and this (the latter stating that even back in October it was clear that the plan was to avoid Congress and not label the deal a treaty).
Stepping back to allow neo to slice and dice the brilliant, but mostly obsessive artflgr.
BHO has long realized that as long as a ‘thing’ can be morphed into some sort of EO or presidentially exclusive decision — he’s good-to-go.
Hence, certain phrasings are to be shunned: “TREATY” “Declaration of War” ( cf Libya )
Other phrases are to be embraced: “Duty to Protect” — but these are are art of language.
Inside their velvet grift -is the raw menace of BHO’s deconstruction of America.
He simply knows that every time he flips the script – he!! follows in his wake.
Think of it as his personal jihad.
The God King Hussein Obola has declared A Great Holy War against the infidels called American patriots and anti Leftist counter revolutionary forces!
His is not a solo effort, but he is not just a puppet–he and his confederates are probably on the same page most of the time.
Hitler and Stalin’s regimes are a good example. So would Mao’s cultural revolution.
