I was talking about Valerie Jarrett. Like I said born in Iran. The one allowed in his living quarters. Jarrett had a staff of approximately three dozen and received full-time secret service protection.[25] Jarrett’s role as both a friend of the Obamas and as senior advisor in the White House was controversial: in his memoirs Robert M. Gates, former secretary of defense, discussed his objection to her involvement in foreign security affairs;[26] David Axelrod reported in his memoirs about Rahm Emanuel’s attempts to have her selected as Obama’s replacement in the senate, due to concerns about the difficulty in working with a family friend in a major policy role.[27] Nice try.
There seems to be some confusion on this topic (
Steven ). I can see the board tends to be left-leaning, but I’m cool with that. The open-minded can learn a thing or two, as the news outlets they frequent may be under-reporting the truth, and omitting specific facts.
A Trip Down Memory Lane: In 2015 the Obama Administration Said the Iran Deal Wasn’t Even a ‘Signed Document’
See, I google “John Kerry” and “Iran deal” I get a whole bunch of stuff about him working to save the deal. Stuff about Il Douche suggesting he is less than American for doing so. Things like that. Anyway, that’s where I got my information. Where did you get yours?
Thanks for the history lesson — I don’t do a good job of keeping up.
Perhaps you can help me on some other questions of recent history:
[ul][li] Which President knew Bin Laden was hiding in Pakistan but took no measures to pursue him?[/li][li] Which President actually attacked Bin Laden’s little fortress and caused the death of that terrorist mastermind?[/li][/ul]
Thanks in advance for your help with these questions.
The agreement was made in Vienna, Austria, on July 14, 2015, and - as I pointed out in my previous post - was approved in the majlis in October of that year, making it legally binding according to Iranian law. From that point on, the Iranians acted accordingly. And so the IAEA confirmed, time and again, that the Iranians adhered to the agreement.
So… Are you… Is this… Is this like one of those “freeman of the land” things, with the golden fringe on the flag and all that? Where you latch on to some insignificant little detail which, according to you but certainly not according to any of the parties involved (Iran, China, Russia, the EU3, etc.), somehow magically invalidates the whole thing? To wit, “OK, OK, but can you prove that Zarif actually brought a pen to a piece of paper and added his signature on a specific dotted line? if not, no deal!”?
Did you even read what I wrote?
On nuclear sites, there was no 20+ day waiting period.
ALL of Iran’s nuclear sites were “under continual monitoring.”
Military areas that could not reasonably be believed to be covert nuclear sites were not subject to inspection. See, there’s a reason the JCPOA is commonly referred to as a “nuclear deal.” It was about nuclear technology, not your average garden-variety military equipment.
Military areas that could reasonably be believed to be covert nuclear sites, however, were most certainly not “barred,” and could indeed be looked into.
If I had the time, I’d be busy here. Both Presidents suspected Omaba fleed to Pakistan. Either would have taken him out, given the opportunity. Once he was found, ( The search to find him stated with Bush ), Obama had a no brainer.
But at least you know which President gave a lot of our money, and freed up assets to Iran for nothing. Not a treaty or signed contract.
The funny thing is that you didn’t even mention the most bizarre part, which is that it was the US side of the deal that was not a legally binding treaty and it was the US side that proved that by pulling out. Knowing that, and then criticizing the deal as not being legally binding *on Iran, *that is beyond bizarre.
