#1 OMFG, has everyone in the State Department had a frontal lobotomy?

Iran??? With Nukes??? Stabilizing influence???

You know, had youknowwho and his "brain trust" spent some time studying the dynamic of the region, a good solid democracy of a sorts in Iraq with the requisite relative affluence could have been a better choice.

#2 Once again, thats Globalist-desired, "US-style", Nuclear, OWG "Co-Superpower" Iran to you + me.

* TOPIX, WORLD NEWS > IRAN THREATENS TO EXPAND NUCLEAR ENRICHMENT PROCESS IFF WEST PURSUES SANCTIONS.

* FREEREPUBLIC > IRAN: WEST IS "BEGGING FOR A NUCLEAR DEAL" WITH US.

OTOH, the Globies S-T-I-L-L have N-O-T answered the Maha-Rushian question as to just how far is "too far" for the Sole Superpower USA to unilaterally voluntarily fall back or pull back across the World, how much Power-N-Influence/Authority is "too much" to give up in the name of "fair-n-Balanced = Equalist = Par OWG-NWO = Space/Star Govt-Order + Globalism.

ARE ISIS THREATS TO ATTACK THE US-WEST
"GLOBALISM", OR NOT "GLOBALISM"???

* FYI FREEREPUBLIC > [Commentary] THE US, FRANCE, + GERMANY TO PUTIN: WORLD IS TOO WEAK TO STOP YOU.

Is the OWG Globalism-minded US-NATO/EU + World "too weak" to stop PUTINIST RUSSIA = RISING CHINA = RISING IRAN = ... ...???

* MANILA TIMES > PINOY ORDERED AFP, SAF TO STAND DOWN; + AQUINO ORDERS SAF OPERATION, THEN ABANDONS HIS TROOPS.

PHIL = US, Aquino = POTUS Obama + violating his own "red lines"???

VERSUS

* TOPIX > [Daily Caller] ISIS MAY BE SUCCEEDING, BUT ONLY FOR AS LONG AS US POLITICAL LEADERSHIP ALLOWS IT.

Yuuup - see above.

* BIGNEWSNETWORK > [Guardian.UK] CAN OBAMA HALT [meet = recover] YEARS OF UNMET NATIONAL SECURITY PROMISES BEFORE ITS TOO LATE?

#4 Doing the exact opposite as which is prudent.

A hallmark.

Without Iran's influence, there would be no daesh.
They feed off eachother, can't you see this?

You took Iraq from Iraq and gave it and Yemen and Syria and gave it to Iran.

FASSHOLE

#5 Sort of like empowering Mr. Hitler as a bulwark against Bolshevism in the European region (circa 1938)?

#6 If the objective is stablization then the Obama administration has failed.

obama met with unknown Muslim leaders yesterday; I can only assume they really yuked it up over his Christian bashing yesterday.

Only if Roosevelt had been an America First-er.

#8 'Stability' in this context means that Iran will be able to subjugate and pacify regions in its extended neighborhood and to suppress opposition to theocracy domestically.

If that happens Iran will be free to project power elsewhere.

Why should a mortal enemy's 'stability' per se even be desirable outcome?

You know, had youknowwho and his "brain trust" spent some time studying the dynamic of the region, a good solid democracy of a sorts in Iraq with the requisite relative affluence could have been a better choice.

That 'youknowho' is on God Damn America's side is an assumption not supported by evidence.

#9 O&Co are in the process of creating a nuclear armed Iran that will plan to wipe Israel off the map, but will become a radioactive smoking ruin itself. Great grasp of international prowess. Jeebus....
