Can you believe the arrogance? The U.S. wants Iran to pay it- and the price demanded is steep- for the privilege of doing the U.S. the favor of helping it fight the “Islamic State” Islamonazi terrorists taking over Syria and half of Iraq.
The Obama regime actually sent Iran an obnoxious letter to this effect. It said Iran had a “shared interest” in helping the U.S. fight ISIS (using the obsolete name for the medieval terrorist movement) and therefore should knuckle under to the U.S. demand that Iran shut down its nuclear enrichment program and close or greatly limit the newly-built Arak reactor by the deadline of November 24th for an agreement on the nuclear issue in order that Iran be allowed to come to the U.S.' aid in beating back ISIS. That's like saying “I'll let you paint my house if you pay me $10,000.” Gee, THANKS!
Amazing. What chutzpah!
This news comes from the right-wing U.S. rag the Wall Street Journal, part of Dow Jones, which Rupert Murdoch bought from the plutocratic Bancroft family a few years ago. The paper reported the heretofore secret insulting letter Obama personally sent to the Iranian theocratic boss, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, last month.
It's no surprise this was done in secret. For one thing, Israel, the U.S.' only boss in the world, which exercises its control through a powerful Jewish fifth column in America, wants the U.S. to bomb Iran, not cooperate with it in any manner, Secondly, this blatantly contradicts what the Obama regime has been saying repeatedly for months, namely that there was no place for Iran in the so-called anti-ISIS “coalition” that Obama claimed to have constructed. The U.S. made a big show of publicly snubbing Iran by excluding it from an anti-ISIS conference of various nations called together by the U.S. for a show of unity and resolve. Secretary of State John “Horseface” Kerry made a public announcement of the snub, just like a popular high school girl telling a boy in front of everyone that she was having a party and the boy wasn't invited.
To make the whole thing even more of a mind-fuck, the reactionary stooges of Israel in the U.S. Congress are determined to sabotage any nuclear deal with Iran. If Congress refuses to lift the sanctions that are strangling the Iranian economy, Iran won't dismantle its nuclear program- unless it is simply dying to carry the U.S.' water for it and will surrender its nuclear facilities, REMAIN under crushing U.S. sanctions, and fight ISIS for the U.S. I have a sneaking suspicion that won't happen- only because it's preposterous.
In fact, Republicans and Democratic Israel-loving fanatics in Congress want to increase the sanctions, tightening the knot on Iran's windpipe.
Obama regime Mouthpiece-in-Chief Josh “Fratboy” Earnest insisted against the facts that the “policy that the president has articulated about Iran remains unchanged,” namely the policy of no cooperation with Iran against ISIS, and no linkage of “separate issues” like Iran's nuclear program and “regional issues” like ISIS. (The main job of White House spokespeople is to obfuscate and even brazenly deny reality.)
And in a possible hint of things to come, Earnest earnestly added “The US will not cooperate militarily with Iran but their interest in this has been discussed on the sidelines of other communications.” So if we apply the standard translation to mendacious U.S. statements and stand this one on its head, it would mean the U.S. might end up cooperating militarily with Iran.
For all we know, it already is. Iran provided important aid to the U.S. when it invaded Afghanistan in October 2001, so there is precedent here for Iran helping the always-ungrateful “Great Satan.” The U.S. is so powerful that even nations that should know better are eager to suck up to it. Look at Vietnam! A nation virtually destroyed by the vicious U.S., millions of its people slaughtered, its land permanently poisoned with dioxin that even today is producing hideous monster-babies from the damage to the genome of the Vietnamese people, and yet Vietnam is eager to snuggle up to the U.S., for economic reasons and out of fear of China, the regional bully.
As to the verbiage that gushes from the mouths of presidential spokesmen (they've all been men so far), Nixon's White House flack Ron Ziegler once said, when confronted by a reporter with one of his lies, that statement is “inoperative.” U.S. pronouncements become “inoperative” faster and faster these days,
In the case of dealing with ISIS, part of this is the chronic mendacity of U.S. rulers (who are not unique in this regard). The other part is the incoherence of the Obama regime's policy for dealing with ISIS, Iraq, and Syria. Recall that when ISIL-ISIS-IS first burst onto the scene with its blitzkrieg of conquest in Iraq, Obama actually said IN PUBLIC that he didn't have a “strategy.” Amazing. An experienced politician, and a seemingly intelligent man, saying that. Sometimes the man is baffling. Even morons like Reagan or the Bushes would never make such a bone-headed statement. You say “we aren't going to announce our strategy in public. That would help the terrorists. But make no mistake, a day of reckoning for ISIS is coming.” I just wrote that right off the top of my head. You'd think any experienced U.S. politician could say something like that in his sleep. Not Obama.
Next, he had Kerry running around assembling a “coalition” of nations to fight ISIS, including the Persian Gulf State culprits that are the spawn of ISIS and their ilk in the first place- and their financial supporters. Some demonstration bombing raids ensued, with a female Arab pilot from one of the oil emirates given top billing. (Meanwhile Saudi Arabia is beheading female “sorcerers” this year, as usual. Oh, women can't even drive cars there, forget about flying planes!)
Then the Obama regime announced a farcical plan to “train” the “Free Syrian Army,” the same people Obama has consigned to slow extermination by the Assad regime by refusing to arm it, and refusing to take out Assad's air force, and to have them fight ISIS for the U.S.! Guess Assad will magnanimously agree to a truce to allow the “moderate” Syrian fighters to do that! Of course that ridiculous plan was stillborn. (And absurd on its face- supposedly 5,000 Syrians were to be trained in Saudi Arabia for a year, then thrown into battle a year from now against the 31,000-strong and growing daily ISIS terrorists. Yeah, that will work!) That led to yet another “plan,” to train some mysterious new force to do the dirty work.
Obama of course has handled the IS rampage more as a public relations problem than a political or geostrategic one. That is obvious in all the announced “steps,” the quarter-measures, and the fecklessness. Obama is a manipulator who treats politics as advertising- no accident he won the advertising industry's award for ad campaign of the year, beating out Apple Corporation and everyone else, for his 2008 “presidential campaign,” a brilliant scam based on a mere two words, the buzzwords “Hope” and “Change.” That millions of people fell for such an obvious and cheap psychological manipulation depressed me then, and depresses me now as I recall it. As long as people are subconscious beings, there truly is no hope for this species, for charlatans, con men, and evil power- mongers will always be able to hold sway.
