Former Vice President Dick Cheney says President Barack Obama is the worst commander in chief the United States has ever had, in view of the recent Iranian nuclear agreement. Asked about the deal by conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Tuesday, the former vice president said the Iranian regime is "one of the most radical" in history and that "Obama's about to give them nuclear weapons."
"I vacillate between the various theories I've heard, but you know, if you had somebody as president who wanted to take America down, who wanted to fundamentally weaken our position in the world and reduce our capacity to influence events, turn our back on our allies and encourage our adversaries, it would look exactly like what Barack Obama's doing."

EYES WIDE OPEN, NOT EYES WIDE SHUT, as per US-led Anti-US OWG Globalism.
The good news of sorts is it isn't only Iran that has to rise to Globalist-desired, "US-style" Co-Superpowerhood.
* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > RUSSIA IS NOWHERE NEAR BEING A SUPERPOWER - SWEDISH ECONOMIST [Anders Anslund].
'TIS SUBJECTIVE OR DEBATABLE WHETHER IT QUALIFIES EVEN A "GREAT POWER"???
As Russia's unilateral numbers are very poor or low given its claims or national self-perceptions as a "Superpower".
IOW, Putin-led Russia [still] has a long Long LONG L-O-N-G WAY TO GO, UNLESS THE US = POTUS OBAMA HELPS IT, ESPEC VEE GLOBALIST-DESIRED US "SELF-RETREAT"???
Prolly safe to say ditto as per CHINA, ETC.
Speaking of Co-Superpower CHINA ...

AKA SSSHHHH ....PCCCCCC SOCIALISM, BUT YOUSE DIDN'T HEAR IT FROM WASHINGTON.
Lest we fergit, IMO as an Anti-US US OWG Globalist POTUS OBama is doing it INTENTIONALLY.
The problem in Muslim societies is not just the failure of many men to have a mate all their lives -- although that is certainly the case there for more men than in any other society, due to generally adverse male-to-female ratios, and the practice whereby wealthy men take multiple wives and concubines. There have been regular cases of wealthy sheikhs taking child brides from India. For these reasons many men will be deprived of mates for life.
But even more acute is the problem caused by gender segregation practiced by Muslims.
It may be readily observed that with girls around, boys seem to mellow down. Any teacher would testify that disciplining a mixed class of girls and boys is far easier than a class of boys only.
BurqasA Muslim boy is kept away from girls from a very early age. He also grows up watching females being cursed and even beaten. This scars him for life, and he becomes incapable of a healthy interaction with opposite sex. And that seems to make him full of rage. The problem of sodomy that is ever-present in such situations doesn't help, either.
This is borne out by a common scene from Morocco to Indonesia. When Muslim mobs kill a man, in a large number of cases they cut the penis off the victim, and place it in his mouth. This cannot be simple chance: there has to be deeper psychological reason for this practice, which is common to all Muslim societies.
And of course, the stunting the growth of mental faculties by brutally beating the children to make them learn by rote in Quran schools must have consequences. And hearing the repeated curses aimed at kafirs has its own consequences.
In summary, the process of growing up in Muslim societies is such that leaders of Islam will never run out of feral human beings, unfit to live in modern societies, ready to be unleashed as a weapon against kafirs.
Kafirs must ask their own ruling elites: "Why are you asking us to live alongside these feral human beings who seem not to have any control over themselves?"
Maybe if Muslims were to be totally physically separated from kafirs, all over the world, that might force Islam to reform. But as long as they have an outlet in the form of kafir women and kafir wealth for their pent-up frustrations, the chances of any reformation, or outright rejection of Islam, are all but nil.
And of course it is the greatest betrayal by kafir ruling elites to force kafirs to share their cities, towns, and villages with these mentally damaged men.
[Politico - if you can stomach it] Some are insisting on a "better deal" than the framework nuclear agreement reached with Iran on April 2. But the idea of a better deal is a chimera, an illusory option, and it should not lull us into thinking there is another agreement to be had if only we were to bear down harder. The present agreement, which depends on important pieces to be resolved by the end of June, can substantially reduce the ability of Iran to develop a nuclear weapon over the next ten years or more and also creates a dynamic that could be a game changer in the combustible Middle East.
Senator Mark Kirk has postponed a vote on the Iran sanctions bill he wrote with Senator Robert Menendez, possibly until June 30. This is a constructive step, avoiding an action that would undercut negotiations toward a final agreement. But we need to keep the sanctions issue in mind because it is inextricably intertwined with the same calls for a better deal emanating from people in Congress, Israel, and other critics. No one can argue that a better agreement wouldn't be better--3,000 Iranian centrifuges is better than 5,000; a 20-year deal is better than 10. The tough question is: How do you get there? Putting aside what the Iranians might do in response to additional pressure--dig in deeper, speed up their program--and looking just at our side of the equation, the notion of a better deal is unachievable. Yes, it's the same odious, Clinton front man Samuel R. Berger who used his undershorts as a classified documents storage container.
