...I say this whole Iran Nuke deal controversy is a ruse to make the Iranian leaders think no one in Israel or the US wants the deal so they sign it... How's that for a tin foil hat moment? | ||
| Aesquire |
That might just work! Besides oil contracts with China, has Iran kept an agreement since it became a theocracy? | ||

"Besides oil contracts with China, has Iran kept an agreement since it became a theocracy?" Doubtful. That is what I don't get about this whole negotiation thing. Who in their right mind thinks they would honor any agreement based on past actions. But the same could be said about Israel's promise not to build in disputed territories. (of course none of us actually got to read any of those agreements so we don't know what their out was). Or any agreements made with any other countries. Unless there are specific consequences for their actions, those agreements are like toilet paper in a walmart bathroom. | ||

Who in their right mind thinks they would honor any agreement based on past actions. No one sane. Anyone in the State Dept. ( sorry for the redundancy ) Most of the Israeli "promises" on building houses seem to have the same clause in them. "if you keep your word, we won't build on land we took from Syria in a war 50-70 years ago" Since The Palestine Authority never keeps their word, it's pretty clear the treaty, once violated, is no longer in force. Not saying Israel is completely blameless, they certainly enjoyed having cheap labor available in the PLO Occupied Territories that they could pay less and not support with their own social programs... just like S. Korea and the N. Korean Industrial Zones, the U.S. and criminal trespasser labor, Germany and their Guest Worker programs where Turks & Vietnamese who moved there to make Mercedes don't ever get full German citizen status, or France that imported a bunch of Africans to be cheap labor and prop up the Welfare State, but never even tried to integrate them into society, creating vast ghettos where police no longer dare go..... I could go on. | ||

You may notice that in the Western World, these cheap labor problems all seem to relate to the core problems of Socialism, and the horrifying fact that the math never has and never will work. If the average person makes $40k, and you tax everyone 100% and redistribute it with the U.S. Government, ( which absorbs 78% of those taxes to pay for itself ) That means everyone has to live on less than $9k. Except of course the people that work in Government. ( this math explains the Soviet Union, too ) | ||

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-03-13/ surprise-u-s-economic-data-most-disappointing-in-t he-world Bad news on the economy for 6 years. The Bloomberg ECO U.S. Surprise Index, which measures whether data beat or miss forecasts, fell to the lowest since 2009, when the nation was in the deepest recession since the Great Depression. Why is that phrase so darn familiar? Oh yeah, it was the Lie pushed by One Party, that came true when their guy won. I also note the cheer at Unemployment not getting a lot worse in February. You need about 250,000 new hires a month to break even, and with the 295,000 claimed jobs, plus the number "no longer Counted" we just about hit break even in Feb. and averaged over the last 4 months, didn't lose that many jobs, or you could say the rate of job loss slowed, and be accurate. Also keep in mind the numbers quoted are going to be adjusted for the worse in a few weeks. It's how they "ease the shock" of bad news, calling it good, and fudging the numbers. | ||

So many threads this would fit into. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/03/13/putin-vs -preppies-and-phds-outsiders-not-insiders-change-w orld/ I agree. | ||

Profoundly true. Has that Harvard Grad who Knows How The World Should Work ever changed a flat tire? Looked under the hood of his car? Does he know how to take a hammer and drive a nail without smashing the wood? None of that qualifies you for High office, but being so insulated from reality that you see a fairy tail world where negotiating with Iran for the sake of negotiation makes more sense than any action to stop the oncoming nuclear train...... it's insane. Now, if you were negotiating a budget with Congress, One sociopath to others, but inside the limits of your world view, talking is better than killing... ( ok, today you can argue that ) But Iran, a failed state that has never kept their word before, and tells it's own people on TV that they aren't going to keep it this time, talking is useless, and makes you look like an idiot, except to the people in your own elite and elitist circle. | ||

Can't find the old Obamacare.gov isn't working thread, so I'll post here. Prof. Gruber and the Regime are very creative and, gasp, willing to go outside the law. This article has a lot of good points on Gruber's no-bid multi-state $500/hour work: http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/03/gr ubers_grasp.html | ||

So, a Billion odd dollars to Michelle's old college buddy, ( AFTER a bribe, the Obama's are consistent ) for a website that doesn't work, and this guy who is double billing... Didn't I see this in "The Firm"? Mail fraud, wasn't it? | ||

Obama now blames Bush for the rise of ISIS. Who could have seen that coming? Obama is nothing more than a street thug occupying our White House. | ||
| Sifo |
To be perfectly fair, Bush did set up the rise of ISIS. He even told us exactly what to do to ensure that it would happen. BO followed those instructions well. OK, that may be a slightly twisted way of looking at it, but Bush did warn that leaving Iraq early would lead to this. | ||
| Aesquire |
Bush did not warn about smuggling guns to AQ affiliates in Syria. Congress did though, but who listens to those jerks? ISIS is Obama's love child. True Bush did warn about abandonment of Iraq, as did I, but who listens to this jerk? | ||
| Sifo |
True, BO went above and beyond the instructions. He's quite the overachiever! | ||

>>>ISIS is Obama's love child. Uhhh . . that's inaccurate. ISIS is "the JV" . . . incapable of mounting any serious terroristic threat. That a fact . . . I got it from the White Hou . . . .. er, never mind. Wouldn't it be interesting to have a leader back in there? | ||

A giant "hands up and salute" to Bibi's historic victory in Israel despite the illegal, unethical, and mendacious behavior of the Liar-in-Chief temporarily occupying our White House. Obama is once again, simply a liar. He was "apoplectic" when Congress invited him to speak because it was wrong due to the proximity of the upcoming Israeli election. At the very same time, Obama's State Dept. gave $350K to fund an anti-Netanyahu group. Obama is once again a stinking, filthy hypocrite. "Benjamin Netanyahu is a Winston Churchill in a world of Chamberlains", as opined on the great FoxNews. | ||

Where is our wonderful pResident's congratulations to Netanyahu? Israel is the friend of Americans. Iran is the enemy of Americans. Where you fall defines you. | ||

  It was kind of fun watching some clips of MSNBC hosts lamenting the election results in Israel. |
