Iran military chief insists it will retain the goal of destroying Israel
Hey, let’s make a deal with these guys! A militia chief in Iran said yesterday that “erasing Israel off the map” is non-negotiable.
In other words, any deal Iran signs will do nothing to change its goal of killing all the Jews in Israel. This at least makes them consistent with other Arab entities we have negotiated with in the past. Neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority have ever eliminated from their ruling documents their sworn goal of wiping Israel off the map, even when deal after deal has demanded that they do so. Why should Iran be any different?
No wonder Obama wants to make a deal with them. Maybe they have like goals!
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Well that settles it, now America, under this administration anyway, must ensure that Iran gets nuclear weapons.
You can make an argument that Obama is strategically forcing the Arabs to come together and form a diverse military force in order to 1. relieve Americans from the danger and cost and (although real American involvement and force is how things actually get done) 2. defeat these radical zealots who would destroy the entire world in order to fulfill their twisted religious beliefs (so much for attempting to define the limits of an individuals rights to religion)
But even if you could make that argument the overt drive to allow the Iranians to arm themselves with nukes by this administration does not follow reasonable logic related to American security and world stability, not mention the people who would pay directly with their own blood, the Israelis.
When do we use the word “treason” related to these activities? 21 months to go.
I would just like to point out that “all the oxygen has been sucked from the room” in the national debate about this subject by the “Earth shattering” Indiana religious freedom law. I feel that the controversy over the law has been held in abeyance until it could be used to mask real news; like the incredibly ignorant nuclear arms deal with Iran. As an aside, the left is saying that Mike Pence is unsuitable for the presidency because he signed the law… I say he’s unsuitable because after 17 months of debating the law, as soon as he feels criticism from the left he backs down. (we don’t need another spineless twit for a candidate!)
My apologies for the non-sequiter comments.
On the subject of Iranian nuclear weapons;
I feel that we should hit them sooner rather than later – with anything that will destroy their capabilities.
considering the popularity of the green revolution that may only require targeting the leadership with small arms…
You will notice that I have not posted anything here about the Indiana religious freedom law. I prefer to stay focused on the real news.
Thence the reason I follow your blog. Thank you
I totally agree, this Indiana law is a strategic political attempt to garner conservative votes. But only if it is well thought out and when the heat comes you stick to your guns and power through it.
In his interview with Stephanopolis he had the opportunity to deflect the spot light directly onto Stephanopolis himself and his patron Clinton but allowed the “journalist” (read political operative) to dominate him. Now Pence is backing up and proposing that a clarification be produced. Weak, weak, weak. What is it the Arabs say, “the people follow the strong horse”. Republicans are following Jackasses.
The republicans I suppose thought that because Clinton and Obama signed or supported similar laws they were safe to again bring it to the front of their agenda. Two things that republicans / conservatives should either avoid or not talk publicly about until they become empowered 1. Gay marriage and 2. anything having to do with reproduction.
What is going on right now in the American media? Talking points are being crafted and imagery is being painted, all to be accessed at will by the media, mostly to the detriment of the Republicans and Conservative minded. This must change!
Every day that passes Iran becomes stronger by our enabling. We had a opportunity to support the “greens” when the cost to us was low, but we turned our backs on those who sought freedom from this oppressive regime.
So, the deadline was extended to April Fool’s Day. No further comment needed.
Perhaps the US should adopt a policy of the complete destruction of the nation of Iran if their military launches any type of attack on either the US or Israel. I would send their entire population the message that we will use as many H-bombs as it takes to wipe any and all Iranian cities off the map if they dare to use nukes for genocide against Jews or any Western nation. The threat of complete annihilation may prompt changes to the Iranian government. If not, nuke ’em till they glow! We did it to Japan to prevent the use of suicide attacks and we should make it clear we are ready to drop another batch of bombs if they give us a reason. The only thing a bully respects is power directed at him!
Your point is well taken, total destruction should be a universal understood concept. To be honest with you and I am sure you will agree with me I have absolutely no confidence that Obama would counter and attack of that nature.
The man with the codes to launch IMO would be happy to not do so. And that makes the world a very dangerous place to be these days.
Too bad your not the Commander in Chief. Until the current one is gone, I guess we’re relegated to stamping our feet.
