In other words, GWB ran a good war?
But WAIT! I thought the BaRack Hussein Obama's Iran deal was suppose to slow down Iran's nuclear weapons quest, not speed it up!SparrowHawk said:Kerry is IMO a putz. The Secretary of Putzdom.
However you'd do well to take notice of how currency works and who we decide to make noce to in the Middle East.
Saddam Hussein decided to abandon the Saudi led Petrodollar scheme. Where is he now?
Muammar GaddafI decided to trade oil in Euro and before you could say or spell Bendhazi, , POOF he was gone.
Iran, OTOH either has or will have a nuclear weapon so they trade oil in any currency they bloody well choose. As a result they are vilified in the national media. See a pattern here????
19 Saudi Arabian born terrorists fly into the WTC on 9/11 and we invade Iraq and then Libya? If you think the world isn't run by an oligarchy of central bankers then IMO you haven't been paying attention.

I find it disturbing that you consider 4000 KIA for nothing as running a good war.

Well, based on the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) Special Dispatch #6131, dated August 10, 2015, President Obama may not end up having a great vacay after all, and it’s to spin up ol’ Josh “not so” Earnest.
As reported by the Washington Free Beacon, “President Barack Obama approved of Iran’s right to operate a nuclear program in 2011 during secret meetings with Iranian officials, according to new disclosures by Iran’s Supreme Leader.
The comments, made earlier this year by Ali Khamenei, dispute claims by the Obama administration that it only began talking to Iran after the election of President Hassan Rouhani. Khamenei revealed in a recent speech that talks began in secret with anti-Semitic, Holocaust-denying former President Mahmoud Ahmadenejad.
At this time, Obama told the Iranians he endorses Iran’s right to have a nuclear program. “The issue of negotiating with the Americans is related to the term of the previous [Ahmadinejad] government, and to the dispatching of a mediator to Tehran to request talks,” Khamenei said in a recent speech translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
“At the time, a respected regional figure came to me as a mediator and explicitly said that U.S. President [Obama] had asked him to come to Tehran and present an American request for negotiations,” Khamenei disclosed. “The Americans told this mediator: ‘We want to solve the nuclear issue and lift sanctions within six months, while recognizing Iran as a nuclear power.’” “I told that mediator that I did not trust the Americans and their words, but after he insisted, I agreed to reexamine this topic, and negotiations began,” Khamenei added.”
And how exactly did all this go down back even before the 2012 reelection? First of all, the MEMRI Special Dispatch alleges that before becoming Secretary of State, then Senator John Kerry, entered into negotiations with Iran while Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
“Secretary of State John Kerry sent a letter to Iran stating that the United States “recognizes Iran’s rights regarding” nuclear enrichment, according to another senior Iranian official, Hossein Sheikh Al-Islam.
“We came to the [secret] negotiations [with the United States] after Kerry wrote a letter and sent it to us via [mediator Omani Sultan Qaboos], stating that America officially recognizes Iran’s rights regarding the [nuclear fuel] enrichment cycle,” Al-Islam said in a recent interview with Iran’s Tasnim news agency, according to MEMRI. “Then there were two meetings in Oman between the [Iranian and U.S.] deputy foreign ministers, and after those, Sultan Qaboos was dispatched by Obama to Khamenei with Kerry’s letter,” the official added. Khamenei went on to tell him at the time: “‘I don’t trust them.’ Sultan Qaboos said: ‘Trust them one more time.’ On this basis the negotiations began, and not on the basis of sanctions, as they [the Americans] claim in their propaganda.”
