TODAY’S BLOG:

President Obama has taken his “Let’s Bash Benjamin Netanyahu” show on the road. Hellbent on securing his legacy by making deals with terrorist Iran (and also with Cuba), Obama will stop at nothing to lambaste Israel’s prime minister at every opportunity.

But for the cost of the medicine is not an aphrodisiac or a hormone. canadian generic cialis A person should avoid all these things to levitra generika overcome erectile dysfunction completely.

His castigation plunged to new depths yesterday as he fielded questions at an international press conference following his meeting with Raul Castro in Panama.  When asked about the Iran “deal”, Obama chose to attack Netanyahu: 

“The Prime Minister of Israel is deeply opposed to it. I think he’s made that very clear. I have repeatedly asked – what is the alternative that you present that you think makes it less likely for Iran to get a nuclear weapon? And I have yet to obtain a good answer on that that.”

Stop and think about this for a moment. Here is an American president openly criticizing an Israeli Prime Minister in an international forum.

And criticizing him with a blatant lie.

Netanyahu has made it abundantly clear on every possible occasion–including the speech before the U.S. Congress–that the alternative to the deal that the U.S. has struck with the Iranians is a tightening of the economic sanctions on Iran that have been working so well

But Obama is not listening because he is a man in a hurry. With only about 19 months left in his presidency, he has no time to let the sanctions be tightened. He needs something in his hand immediately.

To this end he will continue to attack Netanyahu and dissemble at every turn. At the same press conference, Obama also lied about a key element of the framework agreement:

“What we were able to obtain was a political framework between the P5+1 nations and Iran that provided unprecedented verification of what is taking place in Iran over the next two decades . . .”

According to the Iranians, there is no provision for “snap inspections” of Iranian nuclear facilities, only a long drawn out process during which the Iranians can appeal an impending inspection. What is more, according to the Iranians there no provision whatsoever for inspections of Iranian military facitilities.

In short, the agreement provides little to no verification of what is taking place in Iran at all.

But again, why should the truth stand in Obama’s way?

There are new allies to be made and old ones to be discarded.
