Aptly titled Whatever the Ayatollah Wants, the piece opens with this.
Give Ayatollah Ali Khamenei credit for knowing his opposition. Two weeks ago the Supreme Leader declared that Western sanctions had to be lifted immediately as a condition of the nuclear deal. And sure enough, on Friday President Obama said Iran would get significant sanctions relief immediately upon signing a deal.Hopefully, you can read the rest of the editorial HERE.
The Ayatollah knows that Mr. Obama wants an agreement with Iran so much that there's almost no concession the President won't make. So why not keep asking for more?
The U.S. has already granted numerous concessions that contradict previous U.S. positions, concessions that have so alarmed Israel, that Prime Minister Netanyahu has said that even the so-called deal framework paves the way for Iran to obtain nuclear weapons.
We have been negotiating with a country that continues to define the U.S. as its enemy and continues to export terrorism throughout the region. Chants of "Death to America" and a call for the destruction of Israel, our most important ally in the region, continue.
And during the negotiations Iran staged a mock attack on a U.S. air carrier. Yes, during the negotiations. The administration dismissed the maneuver as harmless.
Does it make any sense to trust a country like this? Does it? What on Earth is the president doing? Preserving his foolish and naive belief that making nice and talking to anyone, including terrorists, is the path to peace? Is the whole dangerous exercise about saving face for the president?
