#1 Like Chamberlain at Munich, it seeks delay.
As Edmund Burke said: “Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.”

Netanyahu understands history far better than Obama. Elie Wiesel most certainly understands the stakes involved. Obummer most likely missed those lessons when he was smoking with the "Choom Gang."

One question that has been nagging me is this: "Why the rush for a deal with Iran?" No one has been pushing for it except the Obama administration.

#2 One question that has been nagging me is this: "Why the rush for a deal with Iran?" No one has been pushing for it except the Obama administration.

One theory I've read is that he wants a legacy. Maybe. I mean, after all the failures in Libya, Egypt, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere he might be craving some kind of success. But it's hard to imagine anybody being so stupid as to believe that somehow Iranians will end up liking him. They'll break whatever agreement is made and stomp all over Obama's legacy if the Israelis don't nuke them first.

Remember all these 1001 night stories wherein an evil wazir lead the stupid Khaliff by the nose.

#4 Yeah. The sanctions are hurting the Persians and that makes ValJar sad.

Because ValJar knows that after '16 they may not be dealing with someone quite as full of { shit | himself } nor as foolish. Strike now while the iron is stupid and all that.
