True to predictions in most knowledgeable quarters, the talks between Iran and six major world powers to curtail Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions have stalled. Israel has voiced strong objections to a proposed agreement favored by the U.S which would leave Iran with most of its nuclear program intact and the ability to proceed to a nuclear weapon almost overnight. They would have agreed to stop short of a nuclear weapon in return for a reduction in sanctions. France has taken Israel’s side. If some agreement is not made this weekend, there is speculation talks would resume in one to two weeks.
COMMENTS:
It is becoming more and more clear that Obama has no
intention of helping Israel defend itself.
Just a few days ago, Secretary of State John Kerry warned Israel that it
has better come to terms with Palestine and in a hurry; otherwise, there will
be violence. That position has pushed
American-Israeli relations to the brink of total breakdown. And, while we’re talking another delay of one
to two weeks, we could be only one to two weeks away from an Iranian
announcement that they have their nuke and the world had better pay attention
and back off. What’s scary is that our
position is being outlined by the inventor of ObamaCare.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Do you think Obama’s credibility has been significantly
hurt with his ObamaCare stuff? (Oren ~
Pacifica, CA)
A. As far as I am concerned, he never had any credibility to
start with. I’ve said for a long time on
my blogs to not pay attention to anything he says, pay attention to what he
does.
Q. With all of the bad news about ObamaCare, aren’t they
really going to have to trash it or change it drastically?” (Bernice ~ Mountain
Home, ID)
A. I’ve said this many times: Obama is not going to allow
any steps to be taken that might lead to a diminishing or extinguishing of
his prized ObamaCare… period. The House
may originate such an idea and the Senate will squash it. Even if there were enough Democrats in the
Senate to get upset with ObamaCare and some legislation were to squeak through,
Obama would veto it and no way are there enough votes to override a veto. So, the nation can cry, whine, yell and
scream; the last chance to end this nightmare was squashed with the attempt to
defund ObamaCare, unless... they don’t get enough people to sign up to make it work.
Q. Now I hear there’s a move on to ban the Star Spangled
Banner from sports games? (Kim ~
Seattle, WA)
A. Not exactly a movement. Kevin Blackistone
of the Dallas Morning News says that football games should not include the
singing of the national anthem beforehand, as that adds to the “military
symbolism.” He’s actually called the Star-Spangled Banner a “war anthem.” Honk
if you think he’s a jackass.
