Obama Giving Iran Nukes Says....New York Times

by JASmius



True, they're still giving The One way too much credit for what his "deal" supposedly does to even slow down the mullah's nuclear arsenal, but if even the the house media organ of the Democrat Party is starting to call BS on his shameless, exaggeratory overselling of it....:

Barack Obama has been touting the clauses in the Iran deal that put sharp limits on Iran's ability to acquire the bomb, but the terms expire after fifteen years, leaving many to question the strength of the deal.

According to the New York Times, even those who are enthusiastic supporters of the deal are concerned that Obama has oversold it in his assertion that it would "block" all pathways for the country to acquire a nuclear weapon.

It would be more accurate to say that the deal will simply delay Iran's path to the bomb for fifteen years, the Times said.

"The chief reservation I have about the agreement is the fact that in fifteen years they have a highly modern and internationally legitimized enrichment capability," California-28 Democrat Representative Adam Schiff told the Times. "And that is a bitter pill to swallow."

It would be most accurate to say that the "deal" will not delay Iran's path to bombs (that they likely already possess) for fifteen seconds, much less fifteen years, since O has given the mullahs over a hundred billion dollars to play with and Tehran will be conducting all (self-)"inspections" "on behalf of" the International Atomic Energy Agency.  But even this much of a concession of bleak reality is a remarkable admission to make it into the realm of "all the news that's fit to print".  Not that it will impede the "deal's" implementation in the slightest, congressional veto-override or no congressional veto-override.

Meanwhile, in the swing States of Ohio and Florida, plus Pennsylvania (which isn't a swing State but always gets erroneously lumped into that category), Red Barry's nuclear sellout is overwhelmingly unpopular:

Voters in the swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania overwhelmingly oppose Barack Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, a new poll has found.

According to a Quinnipiac poll conducted August 7th-18th of over one thousand voters in each State, more than 2-1 are against the proposed pact:

In Florida, voters oppose the nuclear pact with Iran at 61%-25% and say 61%-27% the deal would make the world less safe rather than safer.

In Ohio, voters oppose the nuclear pact 58%-24% and say 56%-26% the deal would make the world less safe rather than safer.

In Pennsylvania, voters oppose the accord 61%-26% and say 60%-27% the deal would make the world less safe.

"Voters in these key presidential swing States are strongly opposed to the president's key foreign policy initiative — the nuclear deal with Iran," Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said in a statement.

Time was when such huge public disapproval would matter to a president and a Congress.  That time is long past, never to return.

After all, in the words of Empress Hoshi Sato III, "The people?  Since when do the people matter?  The people are fodder, a source of revenue to be taxed, a pool of raw material to be kept ignorant and afraid until needed to be angry and swell with pride.  The people are pawns.  Their best interests are irrelevant."

With a flash and a roar....
