So smart, they can’t help bragging about it – Obama’s Foreign Policy Guru Boasts of How the Administration Lied to Sell the Iran Deal
Samuels’s profile is an amazing piece of writing about the Holden Caulfield of American foreign policy. He’s a sentimental adolescent with literary talent (Rhodes published one short story before his mother’s connections won him a job in the world of foreign policy), and high self regard, who thinks that everyone else is a phony. Those readers who found Jeffrey Goldberg’s picture of Obama in his March Atlantic profile refreshing for the president’s willingness to insult American allies publicly will be similarly cheered here by Rhodes’s boast of deceiving American citizens, lawmakers, and allies over the Iran deal. Conversely, those who believe Obama risked American interests to take a cheap shot at allies from the pedestal of the Oval Office will be appalled to see Rhodes dancing in the end zone to celebrate the well-packaged misdirections and even lies–what Rhodes and others call a “narrative”–that won Obama his signature foreign policy initiative.
[…]
In Rhodes’s “narrative” about the Iran deal, negotiations started when the ostensibly moderate Hassan Rouhani was elected president, providing an opening for the administration to reach out in friendship. In reality, as Samuels gets administration officials to admit, negotiations began when “hardliner” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was still president. It was Rhodes who framed the Iran deal as a choice between peace and war, and it was Rhodes who set up a messaging unit to sell the deal that created an “echo chamber” in the press. “[Al Monitor reporter] Laura Rozen was my RSS feed,” says Tanya Somanader, the 31-year-old who managed @TheIranDeal twitter feed. “She would just find everything and retweet it.”
Take a gravol before you tackle this one.
Ah.. Yes.. they are so smart and we little piss-upsilons are so ignorant.
Now the Iranians are planning to close the Strait of Hormuz to increase their price of oil.
And if anyone tries to place more restrictive sanctions upon their economy, they will let us know they have developed several nuclear bombs and will threaten to destroy Israel and Europe.
We thought the Brown Clown was just going to destroy America, But his Muslim horde invasion of Europe, and his Iranian side kick in the White House, will have Europe by the throat.
I guess they will laugh and call it European Domination Payback.

Side note- Canadian oil will be worth its weight in gold, but could use a pipeline..
We will see what President Trump does about that ?
Unlike in the halls of Congress, or at the NYT … the Trump voters weren’t swayed by “the narrative” of the Iran deal. It was understood (by the Trump voters) on day one to be a crap-sandwich force-fed by our First Muslim President. It is just ONE of the reasons why Trump is our nominee. Our feckless republican leaders in Congress, like Paul Ryan (who needs to be recalled) bent over and took it from Obama and Valerie Jarrett. This crap sandwich may directly cause the murder of millions before all is said and done … by the “loving MuslimTheocracy”. Excuse me … I have an overwhelming urge to void my bowels.
And we expected any different from the “Food Stamp President”?
Senator Obama calls Bush “unpatriotic” for adding trillions to debt

So the Obama-Nation™ racks up the national credit card to the tune of $19 trillion…
Thus we should conclude that the Obama-Nation™ is twice as unpatriotic and immoral as the Bush presidency!

John Kerry was used like a stupid piece of meat, served up with his fu(king ketchup..
Isn’t that cute. Just like Hollywood, where they are all paid to make-believe.
“So smart, they can’t help bragging about it”
Kate – With the above you prove yet again your way with words and getting right to the point. Proof positive that momentous decisions are being made by an Iranian-born daughter of a communist, a foreign-raised son of communist sympathizer at the least, and… a wannabe novelist.
Now lead me to that Gravol.
I’m looking forward to Hillary’s synopsis of this “success:” They were going to make a bomb anyway and hate us too, so we helped them make a bomb and they still hate us. Status quo; peace in our time! They wanted nukes, so we gave them to them, because wanting is sweeter than having. Spock told us that. So it’s science. They’re actually “worse” off now with the treaty. therefore we’re better off so safe”er;” so relax. Besides now they know we’re nice.
When CNN gives you a pass on every blitheringly ignorant thing you say, what does it matter? Is this nuclear proliferation or a couple of guys building rockets? Cue to the gothic laugh. Republicans are so stupid. How can helping someone acquire nuclear weapons they want anyway make Iran “better” off? C’mon. Fade to black with gothic laugh, ascending to messianic cackling. (Truthfully her fake laugh makes my skin crawl)
You see Hillary has experience; people have died on her watch. You have to be pretty important to get people killed like that. What’s Trump ever done besides being successful? Success, that’s for the private ie unenlightened class; the ones who have to follow the rules. How many people has he killed?
From the Canadian perspective I see no allies in the ME other than the Israelis. The only allies I see in Euroland are the Poles, Germans and Brits. The rest are a bunch of blood suckers are always on the mooch.

Obamanation is proof; Kleptocracy Rules.
Ah yes. The United States of Aholes. They Iranians are laughing their butts off. And Israel is hunkering down a bit more,knowing they are alone in sanity. And yes,it must be brought up every second of every minute…..where is the Chief Chimp’s birth certificate?
This is even better!
“Rhodes comes off like a real asshole. This is not a matter of politics — I have voted for Obama twice. Nor do I mind Rhodes’s contempt for many political reporters: “Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.”

I believe that this administration has committed treason on a massive scale and that they should be arrested and replaced by an interim emergency government until the election can decide a replacement.
They are getting thousands of people killed. Much of what has happened in Syria and Libya is directly their fault. The mess in Europe is partly their fault. The gross failure to enforce basic law with respect to the southern border is another act of gross incompetence and therefore treason.
I am surprised that more people don’t see it that way. I suspect that people are desensitized by the parallel social revolution that is spreading without their help, although certainly with their backing.
It’s at the Records Office right in downtown Nairobi.
At least,it WAS! Allah knows where it is now.
The Obama administration lie ALWAYS about EVERYthing. It has taken a while for this to be widely realised. After this deluge of sewage, Trump’s practice of saying exactly what he thinks, no matter how offensive, is the only practicable approach for a would-be leader.
Iranian foreign minister having a good laugh: http://pamelageller.com/2015/07/obamas-historic-lies.html/
Liberal/(so called) progressives lie as a matter of their DNA. Obummer admitted they lied about the cost of Obamacare in order to get it passed. In Ontario, McGuinty/Wynne have lied and stolen for 11 years. Trudeau lied in order to get elected just like Chretien did to get himself elected. Hitlary is lying now to become next president and Trump is blunt but truthful about the bad situation America is in. When you get a non-politican speaking the truth it makes the elites uncomfortable thinking their gravy train is threatened. However, in it all we have to start blaming the dumbass voters who keep lapping up the lies and theft. They know it happens but as long as they get a cheque at the end of the month they don’t care how much they lie and steal under the table.
comment from Kenzi: John Kerry was used like a stupid piece of meat, served up with his fu(king ketchup
Actually, it’s his wife’s company. Kerry is about as simple as they come. He’s a maggot feeding of his wife’s fortune. Always was and always will be.
Obama the Fink on his knees appoligising for america yeah sure Obama your a disgrace go away and stay away
My disdain for John Fitzgerald Kerry … yes, unlike Hillary who claimed to be named after Sir Edmond … JFK’s parents DID name this fool after their hero JFKennedy … runs deep. He is a phony … starting at BIRTH ! He even got a commission (politically, not merititously granted) to drive swiftboats … the Vietnam equivalent to WWII PT boats (famously captained by the REAL JFK) so he could mimic the life of his namesake. Kerry is nothing more than an empty suit, a made-for-TV sit-com. The only problem is that the Iranian leadership isn’t playing games … they are .playing for world domination. A complete and total annihilation of Judeo-Christian culture. But this leftist HATER of America will be long dead when the totally of his useful idiotness comes to destructive fruition. I really hope this bike riding wannabe failure is put in the corner of HELL where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth for all eternity. Right next to jen-jis Khan !
