BREAKING: Obama Responds to Trump's Withdrawal From Iran Deal.
Because former President Barack Hussein Obama just can't seem to keep his yapper shut
today, he just couldn't help but come out and condemn the fact, that President Donald
Trump just undid his terrible and highly irresponsible Iran nuclear deal.
The former failure of a president released a lengthy statement who probably no one will
ever read in its entirety Tuesday, afternoon where he condemns President Trump for withdrawing
the United States from the nuclear deal Obama, and his cronies irresponsibly arranged back
in 2015.
Although Obama issued a brief statement on Twitter he had to link it to his Facebook
account, because he there are not enough characters on Twitter for some much of his double speak,
half-truths and outright lies.
His full statement on Facebook reads as follows:
"There are few issues more important to the security of the United States than the
potential spread of nuclear weapons, or the potential for even more destructive war in
the Middle East.
That's why the United States negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)
in the first place.
The reality is clear.
The JCPOA is working – that is a view shared by our European allies, independent experts,
and the current U.S. Secretary of Defense.
The JCPOA is in America's interest – it has significantly rolled back Iran's nuclear
program.
And the JCPOA is a model for what diplomacy can accomplish – its inspections and verification
regime is precisely what the United States should be working to put in place with North
Korea.
Indeed, at a time when we are all rooting for diplomacy with North Korea to succeed,
walking away from the JCPOA risks losing a deal that accomplishes – with Iran – the
very outcome that we are pursuing with the North Koreans.
That is why today's announcement is so misguided.
Walking away from the JCPOA turns our back on America's closest allies, and an agreement
that our country's leading diplomats, scientists, and intelligence professionals negotiated.
In a democracy, there will always be changes in policies and priorities from one Administration
to the next.
But the consistent flouting of agreements that our country is a party to risks eroding
America's credibility, and puts us at odds with the world's major powers.
Debates in our country should be informed by facts, especially debates that have proven
to be divisive.
So it's important to review several facts about the JCPOA.
First, the JCPOA was not just an agreement between my Administration and the Iranian
government.
After years of building an international coalition that could impose crippling sanctions on Iran,
we reached the JCPOA together with the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the European Union,
Russia, China, and Iran.
It is a multilateral arms control deal, unanimously endorsed by a United Nations Security Council
Resolution.
Second, the JCPOA has worked in rolling back Iran's nuclear program.
For decades, Iran had steadily advanced its nuclear program, approaching the point where
they could rapidly produce enough fissile material to build a bomb.
The JCPOA put a lid on that breakout capacity.
Since the JCPOA was implemented, Iran has destroyed the core of a reactor that could
have produced weapons-grade plutonium; removed two-thirds of its centrifuges (over 13,000)
and placed them under international monitoring; and eliminated 97 percent of its stockpile
of enriched uranium – the raw materials necessary for a bomb.
So by any measure, the JCPOA has imposed strict limitations on Iran's nuclear program and
achieved real results.
Third, the JCPOA does not rely on trust – it is rooted in the most far-reaching inspections
and verification regime ever negotiated in an arms control deal.
Iran's nuclear facilities are strictly monitored.
International monitors also have access to Iran's entire nuclear supply chain, so that
we can catch them if they cheat.
Without the JCPOA, this monitoring and inspections regime would go away.
Fourth, Iran is complying with the JCPOA.
That was not simply the view of my Administration.
The United States intelligence community has continued to find that Iran is meeting its
responsibilities under the deal, and has reported as much to Congress.
So have our closest allies, and the international agency responsible for verifying Iranian compliance
– the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Fifth, the JCPOA does not expire.
The prohibition on Iran ever obtaining a nuclear weapon is permanent.
Some of the most important and intrusive inspections codified by the JCPOA are permanent.
Even as some of the provisions in the JCPOA do become less strict with time, this won't
happen until ten, fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five years into the deal, so there is little reason
to put those restrictions at risk today.
Finally, the JCPOA was never intended to solve all of our problems with Iran.
We were clear-eyed that Iran engages in destabilizing behavior – including support for terrorism,
and threats toward Israel and its neighbors.
But that's precisely why it was so important that we prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear
weapon.
Every aspect of Iranian behavior that is troubling is far more dangerous if their nuclear program
is unconstrained.
Our ability to confront Iran's destabilizing behavior – and to sustain a unity of purpose
with our allies – is strengthened with the JCPOA, and weakened without it.
Because of these facts, I believe that the decision to put the JCPOA at risk without
any Iranian violation of the deal is a serious mistake.
Without the JCPOA, the United States could eventually be left with a losing choice between
a nuclear-armed Iran or another war in the Middle East.
We all know the dangers of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon.
It could embolden an already dangerous regime; threaten our friends with destruction; pose
unacceptable dangers to America's own security; and trigger an arms race in the world's
most dangerous region.
If the constraints on Iran's nuclear program under the JCPOA are lost, we could be hastening
the day when we are faced with the choice between living with that threat, or going
to war to prevent it.
In a dangerous world, America must be able to rely in part on strong, principled diplomacy
to secure our country.
We have been safer in the years since we achieved the JCPOA, thanks in part to the work of our
diplomats, many members of Congress, and our allies.
Going forward, I hope that Americans continue to speak out in support of the kind of strong,
principled, fact-based, and unifying leadership that can best secure our country and uphold
our responsibilities around the globe."
Has anyone here ever seen so much whining from a past president before?
This guy is even worse than Jimmie Carter and his outright anti-Semitic writings.
He actually thinks people still care what he has to say.
He took our nation down a path of unabashed globalism where right was wrong and wrong
was right and he actually has the audacity to call President Trump out for fixing the
mess he left?
Both in our nation's economy and the world.
Obama turned our nation into a laughing stock on the world stage and he doesn't even care
one bit.
He bribed Iran with our tax dollars into a nuclear deal which had no upside for the US
whatsoever while at the same time tapped our future president's building.
He was more concerned about an American like Donald Trump than a regime like Iran where
they chant d***h to the USA and Israel on a daily basis.
We all know people voted for Obama because of his skin color without ever even investigating
who or what he really was, but now it's time to fix that 8 year mess, and like Obama
told the GOP back in 2009, it's time you Obama ride in the back of the bus and let
the adults fix the mess you and your administration left us with.
