So you can imagine my amazement when, leafing through the more obscure annexes of President Barack Obama’s “historic” deal with Iran (page 86 of the annex, to be precise), I found that Mr Suliemani – as the White House no doubt now refers to him – has been granted an amnesty and taken off the list of proscribed Iranians – together with a number of senior members of the Revolutionary Guards.


Thanks to Mr Obama’s scandalous capitulation to Tehran, Mr Suleimani has overnight gone from being one of the world’s most wanted terrorists to the White House’s newest best friend.

That was July 15, 2015.

If anyone was unsure if Trump was serious about scrapping the Iran deal they got their answer on January 2nd.

No wonder the Democrats are upset, and the Iranians are hollering “international law violation.”

Before road gator downvotes me, I state that in opposition to both.

Reminder-

The Iranian deal was never ratified as a treaty by the US.

Barry pushed it through with a phone and a pen.

This helps explain a lot of the crying by the left.

They love them some terrorists.

I wonder how many Americans Soleimani is responsible for killing since that deal.

Every one of those deaths deserves an answer from Obama.

Yes it does give context to the current outcry by the Obama State Department holdover's mouthpiece, CNN.

Although 99% of us can agree he needed to be relieved of breathing, what legal challenges (if any) could Trump/military face if he was removed from the list then subsequently killed?

While not shocking it really makes you think...

Was CAIR (and other BS terrorist fronts) formed in the same manner as a HAMAs front that has a permanent rule and role on American soil?

Anyone with a brain cell can see Illan Omar, Andre' Carson, Keith Ellis' sleeper infiltration intentions. To the dems this is marxism globalization and we must embrace them all under the guise of bigotry. And if a terrorist kills people on our soil--they just need places of worship and more Prayer rugs. (AG Loretta Lynch)

Obama is beyond an infiltration; he gave these guys suits and brawny white hair and beards to Americanize them, huh?

IDK, but from the article:

quote:

For a decade a more he has been the driving force behind an array of Iranian-sponsored terrorist groups, from Hizbollah to Hamas, which have orchestrated a reign of terror throughout the Middle East.

From a purely British perspective, he was responsible for training and equipping the Shia militias in southern Iraq who killed scores of British troops during the dark days of Iraq’s sectarian conflict following the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, and was reported to have trained the Taliban in the art of making deadly roadside bombs that killed and mutilated our Service personnel serving in southern Afghanistan.

Watch the Dems use this as another reason for impeachment - violation of international agreement

None, IMHO.

Barry never submitted the treaty for formal approval because he knew it didn’t have a hope in hell of getting passed.

Instead, they did a bullshite workaround that Corker was in on and contributed to his arse being sent home.

He could have only have been given amnesty for PAST acts.

He could absolutely be sanctioned for bad acts between the amnesty and now.

This might not be a popular opinion, but the Iranians are right to be upset over this.

Obama and Clinton got caught in their dirty shenanigans in Syria. Iran holds the Benghazi attack over their heads for blackmail essentially and seeks to have sanctions lifted, money, nuclear secrets, whatever they want really, Obama agrees and now Trump reverses course.

Sure, the Iranians were acting like shitbags, but that's politics. The US doesn't want to see this go to a full on war. Especially not if they want to continue with the moral high road.

Trump won't launch all our war with Iran. He is going to cut the ties that bind the two nations and then renegotiate with them. It's the proper thing to do.

Solemani? frick him and frick anyone else who is working with the CIA in such a capacity. These people are war criminals. I'm glad to see the US cleaning their shite up. THANK YOU, President Trump!!!!

I don't think anyone in their right mind would actually think that such an arrangement would cover any and all future actions by Soleimani. If that IS the basis of anyone's "international law" outrage, then they need to be involuntarily committed for at least a temporary mental health evaluation.

But didn't it get passed through the Corker Rule where they inverted the constitutional terms of treaty passage in the senate?
