BEFORE OBAMA LEAVES OFFICE: He is Going to Commit This Treasonous Act…
Posted on March 31, 2016
What say you? Are Allen West’s predictions correct?
By Allen West
I went back and checked out to whom President Obama granted his first interview back in January of 2009. Was it to the BBC, Reuters, Associated Press? Nah, it was to Al Arabiya. And this statement by the new president Barack Obama, reported by CBS News, January 28, 2009 says it all:
“In his first sit-down interview — which he symbolically granted to pan-Arab satellite network Al Arabiya — Mr. Obama said, “Iran has acted in ways that’s not conducive to peace and prosperity in the region… But I do think that it is important for us to be willing to talk to Iran, to express very clearly where our differences are, but where there are potential avenues for progress.”
“If countries like Iran are willing to unclench their fist, they will find an extended hand from us,” added the president. CBS News’ Leily Lankarani in Tehran reports Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman has turned that comment around on Washington. “If there is any clenched fist in the world, it is the fist of the U.S.A.,” Hasan Ghashghavi told a group of journalists Wednesday during a visit to Japan.”
I also went back and watched the two speeches Obama gave in Turkey before the general assembly and in Cairo, Egypt at the university where he requested members of the Muslim Brotherhood be front and center in the audience. Obama certainly did extend a hand, but no one unclenched their fist — certainly not Iran.
As reported by Reuters yesterday, “Iran’s top leader on Wednesday said missiles were key to the Islamic Republic’s future, offering support to the hardline Revolutionary Guards that have drawn criticism from the West for testing ballistic missiles.”
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei supported last year’s nuclear deal with world powers but has since called for Iran to avoid further rapprochement with the United States and its allies, and maintain its economic and military strength.
“Those who say the future is in negotiations, not in missiles, are either ignorant or traitors,” Khamenei, who has the final say on all matters of state, was quoted as saying by his website. “If the Islamic Republic seeks negotiations but has no defensive power, it would have to back down against threats from any weak country.”
The first thing I want to clarify with y’all is that Iran hasn’t signed anything. To the Ayatollah, there is no “agreement,” yet Barack Obama extended his hand and in it was billions of dollars for the number one state sponsor of Islamic terrorism.
Remember, during the 2008 Democrat presidential primary debate, Obama clearly stated he would talk with Iran without any preconditions — and no one challenged him on that. So what do we have today? A richer, militarily stronger and more belligerent Iran. We have Iranian hegemonic influence all across the Middle East, and its terrorist-listed forces, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps and the Quds Force, operating freely, along with the Islamic terrorist group Hezbollah — and Iranian-backed Shiite militias openly threatening U.S forces in Iraq. Consider this: in the reign of Obama, Iran now controls these capitols in the Middle East: Damascus, Beirut, Sanaa and Baghdad. Since the Obama administration has been so giddy to fall at the knees of Iran in complete and utter submission, we’ve witnessed countless ballistic missile tests, negotiations for weapons acquisition, opening of new markets with Europe, and of course ten US Sailors on their knees at gunpoint. And Iran will be building a monument to remember that feat – they’ll probably use some of the billions Obama sent their way.
Now the liberal progressive socialist leftists will claim Obama saved us from a war, a military confrontation. But that’s like the coward who gives up his lunch money to the bully saying he did it to avoid eating food he didn’t like. I’ll give President Obama credit; he’s done exactly what he said he would do, and it will be up to the next two to three presidents to right this ship.
Tweets from Iran’s Ayatollah embarrass America’s diplomatic efforts

- “We reject US fraudulent offer of reaching a deal with Iran first then lifting sanctions” – Grand_Ayatollah_Ali_Khamenei,
As the arbitrary deadline to strike a deal with Iran draws close, Secretary Kerry says “genuine progress” has been made. France is not so sure the negotiations are going well, and neither is Israel. Both nations share concerns that Iran is receiving far too many concessions, saying any rush to relax sanctions is not a deal worth making.
While talks proceed, and Kerry attempts to assures America with platitudes, Senator Cotton reminds us who we’re negotiating with:
Regardless of what Secretary Kerry tells the Associated Press, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader is not exactly a fan of Obama, America, or any deal that doesn’t remove sanctions. And if you need more proof, look no further than than the Ayatollah’s Twitter feed.
“Genuine progress.”
Iran Nuclear Deal Demonstrates Obama’s Failure to Connect the Dots to Islamic Terror

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Americans awoke to the realization of international terrorism. Soon thereafter, the federal government began seeking answers as to how such a calamity could have possibly taken place and which terror networks were behind it. The consensus from Washington seemed to be that intelligence agencies had failed to connect the dots that led directly to the horror of nearly 3,000 dead Americans on our home soil. It was a mistake we vowed not to make again. But now, with the rogue nation of Iran, we seem to be as negligent as we were in the 1990s, only this time willingly so.
After overthrowing the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001, President George W. Bush, seeking to prevent another domestic attack from happening, turned his attention toward Iraq and decided to invade in 2003, citing the missed signs and vowing to connect the dots. Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, supported the invasion, but as soon as political winds shifted, they politicized it by blaming Bush, even going so far as to question his leadership before 9/11. Why weapons of mass destruction were not found in mass quantities in Iraq has never been conclusively explained, though the possibility that they were moved during the delayed invasion is as plausible as any. Issues surrounding US involvement will be debated for decades.
Now, however, with the power shift in the Middle East, a dangerous Iranian Islamic nation is now working toward a nuclear weapon, making the Iranians far more dangerous than Saddam’s Iraq. But rather than recognize a real threat, President Obama and Democrats in Congress seem oblivious to the danger, if not in outright denial. Rather than seek tougher sanctions, take a more aggressive stance, and portray national strength, the president is supporting a deal with the Iranian government that will allow their nuclear weapons program to continue. This deal moves forward despite some serious dots that should be connected. 
Iran is currently the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world. It supports terrorists in Gaza, Lebanon, the Golan Heights, and Yemen. Iran supports Assad’s slaughter in Syria and Shiite militias in Iraq, the same militias who are responsible for killing and wounding hundreds, if not thousands, of US troops with IED attacks.
Iran downed Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, helped al Qaeda blow up two US embassies in Africa, tried to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the US in Washington, D.C., and, according to a US 
District Court in New York, “materially and directly supported al Qaeda” in the attacks of 9/11. There is even evidence of Hezbollah training camps in Latin America.
More frightening is the Iranian nuclear program, which is currently enriching large quantities of uranium to build atomic weapon, hiding the evidence from the world. With their sponsorship of terror, should we expect Iran not to use nuclear weapons in future attacks?
But our Nobel Peace Prize-winning president is desperate for any deal to give him a much-needed foreign policy triumph, even one that will put the US and the rest of the world in jeopardy. Obama, though, insists his deal will freeze Iran’s program for a decade, preventing it from moving forward. 
Yet Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is more realistic: “That’s why this deal is so bad,” he told Congress. “It doesn’t block Iran’s path to the bomb; it paves Iran’s path to the bomb.”
Ignoring Netanyahu’s pleas, Obama decided to strike references to Iran and Hezbollah from the “Terrorism” subsection of the intelligence community’s 2015 Worldwide Threat Assessment report.
With a weak president at the helm, 47 Republican Senators took the initiative and penned a short letter to the leaders of Iran, reminding them that the US Senate has a role to play in foreign affairs and that any deal between the US and Iran will be temporary at best.
Absent from that list was Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran, who believes that “everybody” in Washington, including President Obama “understands we’re not going to just sit back and let potential adversaries put us in a position where we can’t defend ourselves and protect our country’s interests.” Cochran, in siding with President Obama and Senate Democrats, obviously prefers a more “moderate” approach to the situation.
Sadly, this is the same oblivious and naïve attitude that led to 9/11.
Granted, we cannot continue to be the world’s police force, and we do not desire another war in the Middle East. But with the serious threat of a nuclear-armed Iran in the very near future, the time for passive indifference is over.
Let us hope we can finally connect the dots this time before it’s too late.
