Obama’s rhetoric has gone beyond farcical.
He added: “The same is true with respect to Iran, a larger country, a dangerous country, one that has engaged in activities that resulted in the death of U.S. citizens, but the truth of the matter is: Iran’s defense budget is $30 billion. Our defense budget is closer to $600 billion. Iran understands that they cannot fight us.”
Obama on Iran Nuclear Deal: ‘They Cannot Fight Us’ – NBC News.com
How many nuclear bombs can you make with $30 billion dollars? The US was sent into chaos by a $15 pressure cooker and $10 worth of fireworks.
That is how it works with apocalyptic suicidal religious fanatics. They don’t fight you. They kill civilians.
Obama is desperate for a legacy, and is willing to sell the whole world out to achieve it. Once sanctions are lifted, and European businesses start helping Iran build their nuke, there will be no way to put sanctions back in place.
“This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.”

But WAIT!
THEN: Candidate 0blamea dismissed Iran: “Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny… They don’t pose a serious threat to us…”
NOW: Iran is a DANGEROUS country…
WTF!?
Did this guy even study US history? What was the military budget of the British versus the US at the time of the Revolution?
Iran is not going to do an overseas assault on the US. There are too many areas right in their neighborhood they will go after. Which is why those in the neighborhood are freaked out over this. This guy is making a case for the least likely scenario, because for the most likely scenarios, this deal is idiotic.
One nuclear bomb detonated in aggression anywhere in the world could easily, and most likely would initiate WW-3. I consider allowing any Islamist state to be nuclear armed, mind boggling inane for that reason.
Pakistan has had nukes for years
Yes, but their leadership places definite restraint on the internal Islamists faction. Iran has no such restraints.
Odd, I don’t recall Iran starting any wars recently or having any military disputes with anyone. They seem very restrained and it is that restraint why some political forces in the USA haven’t be able to get the war with Iran they want. Crazy people don’t behave that way. If crazy people were in charge in Iran then the country would have been wrecked by the US military and turned into some sort of unstable occupation/quagmire already.
If your concern is nuclear war you should be concerned with India, Pakistan, and China. Because all three have been butting heads and all three have nukes.
The Iran–Iraq War was an armed conflict between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Iraq lasting from September 1980 to August 1988, making it the 20th century’s longest conventional war… The Iran–Iraq War began when Iraq invaded Iran via air and land on 22 September 1980. It followed a long history of border disputes, and was motivated by fears that the Iranian Revolution in 1979…

Iran has long been one of the most important and dangerous sponsors of terrorism in the world.

More than 11,861 soldiers had been killed by IEDs in Iraq, most of them from Iran. Seventy percent of all casualties in the Iraq war were caused by IEDs.

That took two minutes. There is much much more, plus their state religion dictates that the world must be bathed in blood to bring about the final prophecy.
Obama is desperate for a legacy…
It’s likely that his legacy will be some nuclear fallout. Several hundred thousand to a couple million deaths. He’ll probably blame the Tea Party.
What else would we expect, from such an incompetent tool?
Very soon there will be a photo very similar to that one, labelled: “Teheran, 20xx, after Israeli Retaliation” – except there won’t be quite so much left standing.
Quite likely, if USA does not do it for them.
But do Russia and/or China then attack Israel to support their partner?
If so, how does USA respond? How deep is your bunker?

Big Government cannot exist without war because they eventually will run out of other people’s money. Big Government is a cancer for society.
If you are looking to relocate, it is important to check local school districts, as well as crime rates. Another useful tool (and yes, I used it) is this little site. Have some fun, plug in your hometown, or prospect thereof, and use the options at the left to see how your home will fare.

Ooops! Options on on the right hand side.
Those nuclear battlefield classes I participated in at the Air Force Institute of Technology will be useful after all.
