That is all they are concerned about. <br /><br />Obama, Jarrett, Kerry and everyone else involved in this are literally traitors. They are providing "aid and comfort" to an enemy - a government which has openly stated that it is their intention to destroy both Israel and America. <br /><br />With Obama having informed Israel that he would have US aircraft shoot down any Israeli attempt to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, spying on this administration is an absolute necessity (even more so than the amount of spying that normally takes place in both directions).<br /><br /> I sincerely doubt there is anything they can do to make Obama look any worse than he already does. He has violated so many laws already that I doubt there is anything that can be done in that direction. <br /><br />Congress will _never_ impeach him - that would mean impeaching America's first black (well, sort of) President. It simply is not going to happen. As much as you and I would wish for such an outcome. We have never had a President more deserving of impeachment.Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-22938271302284522752015-03-31T14:43:43.494-04:002015-03-31T14:43:43.494-04:00Our "President" is negotiating with a ro...Our "President" is negotiating with a rogue government that will do whatever it wants regardless of repercussions, and is ceding potential sanctions against them for their ostensible compliance on certain minimal requirements, with which they will not comply. But worse, he is lending them an air of legitimacy. THIS is why you don't stoop to negotiating with criminals on an equal basis, save for sham negotiations used to buy time to act decisively against them. They will use your willingness to negotiate as proof of their good faith, and you lose the moral standing to decisively categorize them as the criminals they are.<br /><br />"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction". ("Audacity of Hope", Barrack Hussein Obama) He has apparently advanced from this former position though. He is CAUSING the political winds to shift in an ugly direction. He is inexplicably advancing the cause of sixth century throwbacks, while doing everything possible to weaken the power, economy, culture, and unity of our nation from within. This is a twisted, evil man. He stands for nothing, his accomplishments are nothing, and his legacy, if left unchecked, will be of more death and destruction than all modern wars combined. Hope 'n' change and all that.<br /><br />Israel, although our ally, conducts a great deal of spying on us. I've heard it suggested that one of their next steps, rather than a military strike on Iran, might be a political job on the President, in an effort to compromise his standing. (compromised in who's eyes is the question...the majority that is ALREADY against him, or the minority that has somehow seized power behind the scenes?) This struck me as a sadly hopeful possibility. It would serve as a sort of "thank you" for the recent efforts by Obama to unseat Bibi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-83697434597319368782015-03-31T14:42:14.361-04:002015-03-31T14:42:14.361-04:00Be aware of any deal that limits the number of cen...Be aware of any deal that limits the number of centrifuges that Iran can operate. According to Mike Morell, who might know something about this, limiting to a smaller number guarantees that Iran can ONLY make a bomb with them:<br /><br /><br />One element that’s fully expected in a long-term arrangement is a limit on the number and kinds of centrifuges Iran can use to enrich uranium. Former CIA deputy director Michael Morell said there’s an irony in that.<br /><br />"If you are going to have a nuclear weapons program, 5,000 is pretty much the number you need," Morell, now a CBS analyst, said on Charlie Rose. "If you have a power program, you need a lot more. By limiting them to a small number of centrifuges, we are limiting them to the number you need for a weapon."<br /><br />Morell told PunditFact he said 5,000 because that was lowest number he had heard was in play. The number of centrifuges in place today is a hair over 20,000, and a likely goal is to cut that to about 5,000. But Morell’s basic point struck us as just plain intriguing. We wanted to learn more about this idea that a nuclear power program would require many more centrifuges than you’d need for a bomb -- which by extension means that limiting centrifuge capacity is just one negotiating point out of many.<br /><br />http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/feb/25/michael-morell/odd-reality-irans-centrifuges-enough-bomb-not-powe/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-8396056095409893342015-03-31T13:53:04.608-04:002015-03-31T13:53:04.608-04:00Oddly enough Obama has been addressing his legacy ...Oddly enough Obama has been addressing his legacy of late.<br /><br />In this HuffPo "interview" he clearly states "By hook or by crook, we're going to make sure that when I leave this office, that the country is more prosperous, more people have opportunity, kids have a better education, we're more competitive, climate change is being taken more seriously than it was, and we are actually trying to do something about it. Those are going to be the measures by which I look back and say whether I've been successful as president."<br /><br />He is literally saying that he will do ANYTHING it takes to get done what he wishes to get done, laws and morality be damned.<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/21/obama-huffpost-interview-transcript_n_6905450.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
