Sorry, But This President's Actions Regarding Iran Should Have You Up In Arms!
Maybe If President Obama Had Sold ILLEGAL Arms To Iran, Republicans Would Call Him A Hero

As most people have probably heard by now, the U.S., several of our allies and the Iranian government agreed upon a historic deal pertaining to Iran’s nuclear program. It’s a deal many experts are hailing as groundbreaking and some have even suggested that, if successful, could prevent a third world war down the line.
Now, clearly, any sort of talk like that is extremely premature as it’s very possible this deal could eventually fail. But it’s like I’ve said before, I would rather try to give diplomacy a chance to succeed rather than send thousands of Americans off to die in a war that could have been avoided. Well, about a year and a half ago I wrote an article with a headline very similar to this when all of these talks were still basically in their infancy stage. At the time, I mocked Republicans for being outraged that President Obama might dare try to use diplomacy to deal with Iran (some even suggesting he’s betraying his country) when almost every member of the GOP hails Ronald Reagan as a “conservative legend and American icon” – yet he illegally sold arms to Iran. Sure, Oliver North is the one who ultimately gets tagged with the “blame,” but you have to be an absolute moron to honestly believe that arms were being illegally sold to the Iranian government and the Reagan administration knew nothing about it.
But could you imagine the right-wing freak-out if, instead of simply agreeing to the framework of a deal on Iran’s nuclear program with several of our allies, the Obama administration was caught selling weapons illegally to the Iranian government?

here it comes, Republicans, your 19th Nervous Breakdown!
They had a disaster at their secret lair.
They all met in the back of the cave for a chili cookout one day.
And then suffocated later from inescapable chili farts!!
I think Jerry would have a BALL.
(note to cavers, use your google, and get ready to party)
They dedicated a thread to my brain!
but it sure as hell was well done 
To the Iranian terrorists. He promised to sell weapons to the terrorists holding the American hostages if they held on to those hostages until he was made president. The minute he was sworn in, they released the hostages. See he was just keeping a promise he made to terrorists. 
Now his promises to the American people, those he ignored.
You rock, napkinz.
very much for splashing the truth across many minds.
He would have bombed anyone Bibi told him to bomb. That's why he wasn't elected. That's why.
But, both parties are exactly the same.. 
I wonder how entertaining it is for the conservative lurkers?
And Reagan's Rumsfeld would arm Iraq before wanting to go to war with them later when working for Bushco...

and McCain recently was advocating arming ISIS after meeting with them too.

... when working with our enemies against our country's interests!
what Ike did, if one considers regional issues. Please remember that during this time the Iraq-Iran War was raging, a senselessly brutal slaughter that dragged on to a stalemate in 1988. Here's why Reagan was worse than Ike, imo: at the exact same time that Reagan was selling arms to the Iranians (as the 'arms' part of the 'arms-for-hostages' component of Iran-Contra), he was dispatching Rumsfeld to Baghdad on a secret mission to re-establish diplomatic and commercial relations with Iraq and to provide Iraq with crucial military intelligence about Iranian troop dispositions). Why? Reagan wanted to use Iraq as a buffer against Iranian designs on the Gulf States and appeals to the majority Shi'a population in Saudi Arabia's oil fields in the east and south of Saudi Arabia.
IOW, Reagan was arming both sides in a war. That is some seriously fucked-up shit, even by the deplorable standards of American exceptionalism. Even if most Americans are unaware of this history, rest assured the people of the region are all to famiiar with our two-faced treachery.
