"If Congress succeeds in killing the deal and Iran were to subsequently walk away from the agreement and start enriching uranium again to weapons-grade levels, the opponents of the deal will pressure the US government into launching a preemptive strike against the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities, the president was said to have argued."
“But the result of such a strike won’t be war with Iran,” Rosenbaum said, quoting the president.How does Obama know how Iran will respond to an attack on it's nuclear facilities?
Iran is not going to launch a full-fledged assault on America, knowing that its military, with an annual budget of $15 billion, stands no chance against the US Army and its budget of close to $600 billion, the president said. Rather, Iran’s terrorist proxies will attack American and Israeli targets, for instance by ramming aircraft carriers or arming terrorist groups along Israel’s borders.
“They will fight this asymmetrically. That means more support for terrorism, more Hezbollah rockets falling on Tel Aviv,” Rosenbaum quoted Obama as saying. “I can assure that Israel will bear the brunt of the asymmetrical response that Iran will have to a military strike on its nuclear facilities.”

So Obama admits that Iran has terrorist proxies, but couldn't get them to admit that in the deal and stop funding them. Hmmm. Obama the great fear monger.
Obama is also saying that the west can be intimidated.
Is that 'leading from behind' thing again.
Obama is essentially making the Iranian case for them.
It's disturbing.
Could someone educate the President on which side he's supposed to be working for.
Yes we are well aware of all these threats, which with the billions that this deal gives them will all become more realistic and dangerous at whatever time they choose.
Neither our strategy nor theirs in the region have been working especially well until this agreement gets signed. This agreement finally creates a clear winner, and it's not anyone on our side.
Forget Worst President Ever.
He's now gunning for Worst Human Being Ever if this ends up the way he and his Persian buddies say it will.
Let's not forget, the Iraq war was based on enforcement of arms deal.
So, any assurances from Obama about defending the terms of his deal with Iran should ring hollow. At least while he is in charge.
If you are the kind of guy who doubles down on mistakes, never reverses course, and over-estimates your own intelligence, you will be a mark for con jobs. You won't even accept it when the people who conned you say you got conned.
What am amazing argument presented by Obama. If we don't give in to them they'll hurt us. I just don't see how he helped his case here with any but the most timid and fearful Americans. I suspect that the deal will get past the Senate by one or two votes with the voting arranged to protect vulnerable Democrats.
Also, "ramming out aircraft carriers." Really?

Who does #2 work for?
Let's also not forget that Urkel conveniently forgets things with respect to the iraq war. First of all is UN Resolution 1441 and its signatories. Also, is the consensus building that Bush spent basically 2 years building, that Urkel claims didn't happen, not to mention that six separate foreign state agencies all agreed that the intelligence was that Saddam was building and did have a WMD program in place. Not to mention the outright proof that WMD was in Iraq, at the Al-Tuwaitha facility. I should know, I saw it with my own eyes. Roughly 550 metric tons of yellow-cake moved to Diego Garcia and ultimately to Canada.
This motherfucker of a human being is a lying scumbag that needs to be removed at this point. He is a danger to everyone.
Clear and present danger?
The president is an inveterate, relentless, remorseless, self-serving liar.
This is a known known at this point.
Objective Truth.
He's making common cause with and funding the people chanting "death to America."
His excuse for doing so is transparently, laughably, incredible.
