Then there is the fact that the TSA is now searching parked cars at airports supposedly looking for bombs and such. Of course you don't know about this until you find a note stuck under your windshield wiper telling you this has been done.
Don't you love the police state this administrations is creating? Apparently so.
Let's return to the Middle East. They should not be forgotten amid all the domestic turmoil. We know the administration has negotiated a deal with Iran regarding their nuclear program. We've eased the sanctions. Countries it took years to get to comply have rushed back in giving immediate relief to Iran's financial burdens and making reimposition nearly impossible.
We are allowing them to continue enriching uranium though at a lower grade than before. They've told us in no uncertain terms they will never give up their enrichment program so I don't see that we're being particularly magnanimous.
They also have not retracted any of the rhetoric that makes clear how they feel about the West, especially the U.S., and Israel. Knowing that we're taking the word of a country who cares little about keeping it but never-the-less we can say we've negotiated. Right up until it behooves them to put together that bomb. They'll have all the necessary ingredients just like the North Koreans did and one day there will be a big boom and we'll find they've tested their very first nuke.
No, no. We'll have strict verification criteria. Okay. Then why is the White House looking for ways to allow Iran to keep enriching officially? Oh, it will be for domestic use only. Any one who has been following this knows that the current deal has allowed for everything to stop just below weapons grade but at a point where it can be quickly upgraded.
I personally think they have already have the 20% goal, maybe even an actual bomb, and have it safely stashed away therefore entering into these negotiations with absolutely nothing to fear. That may be a stretch but then maybe not.
The question that begs to be answered, however, is if the Iranians do not have the right to enrich why are we trying to make it easy for them to do so anyway? For the life of me I have no idea what we're trying to accomplish in that region of the world.
Neither does anyone else and that's why business continues as usual. Now we're supposedly turning our focus to Asia as China rattles its sabers over territory disputed with Japan. Are we going to negotiate that too and cave in to Chinese demands? Probably.
If I were the other countries in that region and saw us coming I'd turn tail and run as fast as I could away from the "n" word. The "n" word? Negotiation.
