Iran deal and Munich: A fair comparison?

Iran deal and Munich: A fair comparison? “Britain and France were weak in 1938. …the U.S. negotiated with Iran as if it was the weaker party.” After years of BS about how Obackstab was the next Lincoln, FDR and/or Reagan, the Chamberlain juxtaposition is at last much closer to the truth.

  • Yep, it's a completely valid comparison, except that I don't believe that Chamberlin was a Nazi sympathizer, versus obummer being totally in the bag for radical islam.
    And yes, I don't capitalize "isalm" for a reason... :)

  • Just remember how effective the Munich deal was. Exect the same from the Iran deal. WHY oh WHY do we think they are honest and telling us the truth? In what way have they ever indicated they are willing to do anything our way, even with looming sanctions. Jay Leno had it right. He showed a "headline" that stated Iran agreed to the deal so Kerry would stop talking! This is going to come back and bite us in the ass, and everyone will be stumbling around wondering what in the hell just happened.

  • Barack "Neville" Obama?
    Iran is already betraying the "One", and the House and Senate are already writing up new sanctions to impose on Iran, because even the Democrate see it as a failure before the ink is dry.

        • He may not be a genius but he can certainly is opportunistic.
          If the Iranians find themselves in a position of weakness, then yes, he will.

          I strongly suspects
          1) Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt have been working with Pakistan on a common nuclear program for some time now.
          2) It would be in his interest that forces loyal to him stays in North America, while the rest is sent to the middle-east.
          In a situation where US military forces in North America so low and terrorist threat is suddenly very high, this could very well be the window to raise a civilian national security force.
