This is for anyone who has deluded him/herself into believing that Iran\’s “President” Rouhani has any power to make a deal that is not 100% okayed by Iran\’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah ali khamenei.
From Parisa Hafezi\’s and Sam Wilkin\’s article at Reuters:
Iran said on Wednesday it would only accept a deal over its contested nuclear program if world powers simultaneously lifted all sanctions imposed on it.
The comments by President Hassan Rouhani came the day after U.S. President Barack Obama was forced to give Congress a say in any future accord — including the right to veto the lifting of sanctions imposed by U.S. lawmakers.
“If there is no end to sanctions, there will not be an agreement,” Rouhani said in a televised speech in the northern Iranian city of Rasht, echoing remarks made last week by Iran\’s most powerful authority, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“The end of these negotiations and a signed deal must include a declaration of cancelling the oppressive sanctions on the great nation of Iran,” said Rouhani, who is widely viewed as a pragmatist.
Widely viewed as a pragmatist? My backside. He\’s correctly viewed as a sock-puppet for the Ayatollah. And he – pragmatically, if you like the word – said exactly what the Ayatollah said, because that is what he had to do.
So, we see again how irrelevant it is that the “deal” cooked up by Barack Obama and John Kerry is so godawful. What\’s the difference whether it is bad or good, if the party you are dealing with states that he did not agree to your terms? Then there is no deal at all.
This is what happens when you do business with a terrorist-supporting bunch of lying cheating lunatics, who neither fear nor respect you.
Maybe the next President will regain the fear and respect….which might force the lying cheating lunatics to at least give the pretense that they have any intention of acting in good faith.
