Iran to US: Missile program ‘not open to negotiation'

Another failure for Obama.

Obama didn't fail. You did.


From your own source, "The missile tests are not covered by the U.S.-Iranian nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, agreed to this summer;"

If anyone failed, it is the U.N. From your own source, "the U.S. and its allies contend the launches go against a U.N. Security Council Resolution. Iran denies the launches violate the U.N. resolution."

Why do you say that? An opportunity has presented itself and those who can not overcome their hatred or ignorance or both used it to bash Obama. That is a success when bashing Obama is the only existing goal.
 
If you say so.


No one and no country is entitled to anything... period.

Wow. Comparing Iran to Germany. Who has Iran invaded? Right... no one. They aren't aggressive. Iran isn't going to actually defeat any ally America has. They aren't a threat. Germany on the other hand was a global threat. Not comparable.

Now if they were threatening and were an actual danger, then we'd have cause to go after them.

Treat actual threats as threats. Those missiles are not a danger to Israel, America or anyone we're cool with.

Iran has the right to self-defense. They aren't a threat to America. They've made no overtures to attack America. We've no need to fear them. Our fear of Iran is grossly disproportionate to the threat they actually propose. In my opinion, this is a work program for the military industrial complex.

You are aware the supreme leader of Iran has called for the destruction of Israel and refers to the United States as "The Great Satan" correct?

The whole thing is a giant failure. As warned, well in advance. Over, and over. Once again, thanks, Obama. Also to the morons who voted him in.

See, this is the left's thinking. Let a country get a nuke, if they want. That's cool! They are not a threat to us. Yet. They are notorious for not thinking ahead. Then, the country that couldn't hurt us, has a nuke. Ooops. Morons, you can't unring the bell. Get it? Probably not.
 
Does Iran not have the right to self-defense? They are a sovereign country after all.

Of course Iran has a right to defend itself. But if the U.S. should ever come after it hammer and tongs, it will have one hell of a time enforcing that right.

How dare you try to challenge propaganda against this country, and for its Islamist adversaries! What kind of leftist are you, anyway?

Iran knows that without some deterrence, it's going to have a big target painted on it and might suffer a western "intervention" for lord knows what.

I'm not a fan of the Iranian government but it doesn't take a genius to look at the geopolitics and know that Iran is next on the list. It's probably the next POTUS who will be made to tackle that one.

I'm reminded again to recommend a very fine book by Andy McCarthy. The title is "The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America." The fact leftists loathe America just like Islamists do makes them natural allies. Many leftists also share the Islamists' loathing of Jews, which often takes the form of reviling Israel.

The Marxist liar currently occupying the White House is an example of the Jew-hating and eagerness to play the apologist for Islamists that is so characteristic of radical leftists today. It is no surprise to see an anti-American, anti-Semitic specimen like B. Hussein Obama cozy up to the jihadist sons of bitches who rule in Tehran. It's also no surprise that his administration has been more hostile toward Israel, by far, than any U.S. administration since that nation was created in 1948.

Indeed.
 
As many of us have said since the "deal" was inked, it was extremely foolish to trust Iran to be diplomatic about their weapons desires in exchange for a reduction in sanctions (and/or continued better relations.)

Not sure I completely buy the FoxNews article, as they have a vested interest in anything anti-Obama administration, but we have always had reason to be cautious in dealing with Iran. In all fairness, it looks like this particular missile test / missile technology was not covered by the agreement. It does not look like Iran has the present capability to deliver a nuclear weapon in that missile system.

We should still be concerned but if the agreement did not cover this type of testing, why are we upset?

because if there was an agreement at all the agreement 'should' have covered this as well as a lot of other things.. incompetent negotiating.

Does the Supreme Leader of Iran call the United States the "Great Satan" and has he called for destruction of the state of Israel?
