I wonder if we go back to see how many threads you started about Hamas firing missiles into Israeli cities how many we would find. No one knew if the iron dome would work as well as it did. Also one could not be sure Israel would not run out of the interceptors. How many would have been killed if a third of those missiles got through. Would you REALLY care?
No this is what Obama wants. He could care less about Iran does with the money it will receive. Hamas and Hezbollah will get more missiles and he will then cut funding for Israel's iron dome. He is not as stupid as many think.
Ok. He's either a feckless wimp or despotic mastermind. You need to pick one.

Don't recall calling him either. He is a shrewd politician.
No question that the wackadoos on the right in Tehran are working to sabotage a deal just like the wackadoos on the right in Washington. It might be nice if the wackadoos could actually come up with a solution to the problem rather than being a part of the problem.
I like your angle, despite knowing how this "deal" would fail, you find a way to blame everyone else.
Classic lefty.
How can people defend this? Appealing to hardliners or not... It would only be a display of extreme weakness to negotiate with a nation where the supreme leader literally is saying death to America.
So I guess if some Republican was just pandering to his base by using racial slurs in a rural primarily white setting notorious for racial violence that's ok? Or what about someone pandering to a Nazi group by calling for Jewish genocide? They're just appealing to hardliners right?
Iran is a theocratic regime with horrible human rights violations, state sponsored terror and nothing really demonstrating that they should be trusted. If any negotiations are to take place the first step the US should take is to have Iranian leaders denounce past comments regarding death to America, death to Israel/Jews and other outrageous things. This is beyond absurd and such a foreign policy blunder if this isn't addressed.

You're right. I was mixing you and US Conservative.
To be entirely honest, Id be pretty mad at Bibi if I were Obama. Really not smart on Bibi's part either, since we've been pretty much the only thing preventing international condemnation of them.
Your negativity is so....depressing. Russia's economy is reeling to do their actions and we are on the verge of a deal to prevent a Nuclear Iran. I mean come on, give Obama at least a little credit.
No this is what Obama wants. He could care less about Iran does with the money it will receive. Hamas and Hezbollah will get more missiles and he will then cut funding for Israel's iron dome. He is not as stupid as many think.
If we're going to avoid speaking to any nation that condones Death to America or Israel we just need to leave the Middle East.
Agree that what Bibi did was self-serving. Put himself in front of what is best for his country. I think he did it because he really believes in the threat to Israel. But he had to realize that the deal is going to happen. Making Israel a partisan issue was stupid. That being said I would hope that Obama is not so thin skinned as to punish all Israelis for it's leader's mistake.
Bibi clearly will do anything to hold onto power. That should certainly be noted. Agreed, Obama shouldn't do anything to rash. And I doubt he will, since he probably has skin of steel after the 6 years of abuse he's received. Although a wrist slap or two is probably in order. Abstain on a UN Resolution expressing displeasure at Israel's actions or something along those lines.
We're talking about nuclear negotiations with a nation that funds terror, has made threats against us and Israel and during negotiations is still saying such things... How is it not a display of naivety and weakness for the US to not address this? How can you expect to negotiate and trust a nation that unapologetically calls for the destruction of your nation and its allies and continues to do so during a negotiation process? It's simply foolish, especially when the nation is known to be a crazy theocracy that funds terror and has a history of human rights violations.
My sense is he is madder than that. Time will tell.
...and drank Coca Cola....
It's the real thing.
Message from Iran: Tell All Americans We Love Them
No wonder it is easy to convince Americans that Iranians are consumed by hatred and eager to reduce American cities to rubble. Yet Americans brave enough to visit Iran quickly discover Iranians are a friendly, gracious people. They love Americans, and they are not bashful about sharing their affection. Tourists from California said they were amazed by their experience.

Ah so a 7 year old link makes up for all the Americans they have killed there?
Where? It doesn't make up for anything. But just because you might find a few that don't like America is meaningless. Iranians are pro American.
I wonder if our forums leftists will learn from this? Yeah right-this is what happens when you try to appease evil.
