Republican senators letter to Iran

[atatwolf]

Obama is Christian by his own words. Maybe he is acting but that is open for speculation. If he smells Christian, acts Christian and moves Christian, he is Christian.

You should read US people comments on the New York times. The Reps just made a clown out of themselves!

I heard that Cotton had a meeting with a defense contractor right after his letter to Iran. Probably wanted to report how close they are to starting another war:

Tom Cotton Bows Down to Weapons Lobbyists Day After Letter Sabotaging Iran Deal

Tom Cotton Bows Down to Weapons Lobbyists Day After Letter Sabotaging Iran Deal
March 9, 2015Marc Belisle Politics



Freshman Senator Tom Cotton, Republican from Arkansas, organized a letter to Iran, threatening them that any deal with President Barack Obama would not last. The letter lectured Iran about the Constitution, though Republicans possibly violated the Constitution in sending it. To add stupidity to injury, the letter claimed that the Senate ratifies treaties. This is false. Iran’s Foreign Minister, Dr. Javad Zarif, replied with a patient lesson for the wayward freshman senator about the US Constitution and US international law obligations,

Zarif expressed astonishment that some members of US Congress find it appropriate to write to leaders of another country against their own President and administration. He pointed out that from reading the open letter, it seems that the authors not only do not understand international law, but are not fully cognizant of the nuances of their own Constitution when it comes to presidential powers in the conduct of foreign policy.

It can be said, quite literally, that the Foreign Minister of Iran is more concerned about upholding the Constitution of the United States of America, than almost the entire Republican Caucus of the United States Senate. Zarif continued,

Foreign Minister Zarif added that “I should bring one important point to the attention of the authors and that is, the world is not the United States, and the conduct of inter-state relations is governed by international law, and not by US domestic law. The authors may not fully understand that in international law, governments represent the entirety of their respective states, are responsible for the conduct of foreign affairs, are required to fulfil the obligations they undertake with other states and may not invoke their internal law as justification for failure to perform their international obligations.

Zarif opined on the letter: “in our view, this letter has no legal value and is mostly a propaganda ploy.”

Even more astonishing is the fact that the letter’s organizer, Senator Cotton, is brazenly attending a major gathering of lobbyists for weapons contractors, where he will speak off the record.

“Tomorrow, 24 hours later, Cotton will appear at an “Off the Record and strictly Non-Attribution” event with the National Defense Industrial Association, a lobbying and professional group for defense contractors.

The NDIA is composed of executives from major military businesses such as Northrop Grumman, L-3 Communications, ManTech International, Boeing, Oshkosh Defense and Booz Allen Hamilton, among other firms.

Cotton strongly advocates higher defense spending and a more aggressive foreign policy. As The New Republic’s David Ramsey noted, “Pick a topic — Syria, Iran, Russia, ISIS, drones, NSA snooping — and Cotton can be found at the hawkish outer edge of the debate…During his senate campaign, he told a tele-townhall that ISIS and Mexican drug cartels joining forces to attack Arkansas was an ‘urgent problem.’”

On Iran, Cotton has issued specific calls for military intervention. In December he said Congress should consider supplying Israel with B-52s and so-called “bunker-buster” bombs — both items manufactured by NDIA member Boeing — to be used for a possible strike against Iran.”

The military industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell address to the nation, is panicking about the possibility of resolving one of the biggest problems in the international arena over the last 35 years. The same Congresscreatures who kissed the ring of a foreign leader undermining the President’s pursuit of peace with Iran, are also bowing down to the weapons industry, which clings to war for dear life.

 

[The SC]

This letter has no precedence to it in History, it clearly shows the desperation of Usrael and its supporters in the US as a EU-US-Iran deal becomes more imminent.

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

Not that I'm pro-Iranian policies in region(I'm against both Saudi/Iranian proxy mess in Arab world), but I'm just confused by American Christians.

You are Christian I assume? Catholic or evangelical? Does your faith emphasize supporting Israel?

Yes, ex-Catholic...now a BAA (Born-Again Atheist)

I can't comment on what is going on in Evangelical's heads because I know as much about them as you probably know about what goes on in say a Buddhist's head. They are considered looney heretics by Catholics.

But let's show some pics

As for the Israel/Palestine issue most Catholics wish a big tidal wave would wipe out BOTH sides. if a bunch of Evangelical's were there too that would be a super bonus.

Iran Offers to Mediate Talks Between Republicans and Obama

By Andy Borowitz


Credit Photograph by ALIREZA SOTAKBAR/AFP/Getty
The Borowitz Report)—Stating that “their continuing hostilities are a threat to world peace,” Iran has offered to mediate talks between congressional Republicans and President Obama.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, made the offer one day after Iran received what he called a “worrisome letter” from Republican leaders, which suggested to him that “the relationship between Republicans and Obama has deteriorated dangerously.”

“Tensions between these two historic enemies have been high in recent years, but we believe they are now at a boiling point,” Khamenei said. “As a result, Iran feels it must offer itself as a peacemaker.”

He said that his nation was the “logical choice” to jumpstart negotiations between Obama and the Republicans because “it has become clear that both sides currently talk more to Iran than to each other.”

He invited Obama and the Republicans to meet in Tehran to hash out their differences and called on world powers to force the two bitter foes to the bargaining table, adding, “It is time to stop the madness.”

Hours after Iran made its offer, President Obama said that he was willing to meet with his congressional adversaries under the auspices of Tehran, but questioned whether “any deal reached with Republicans is worth the paper it’s written on.”

For their part, the Republicans said they would only agree to talks if there were no preconditions, such as recognizing President Obama’s existence.

one of the most liked comments on washington post :

"Tom Cotton knows his American history. He knows that the founding fathers wanted us to have a government made up of 4 branches--the legislative, executive, judicial and Israel and that Israel was supposed to have authority over the other three.

Duh!"

Iran's Foreign Minister Schools GOP Traitors on Constitution and International Law

Many Americans are rightly incensed at the revelation that 47 Republican Senators signed on to an open letter to hardliners in Iran warning them that according to their pledge of loyalty to a foreigner leading the nation of Israel, they will make sure that America does not abide by its international agreements. Although there is no doubt the Republicans’ goal is sabotaging American efforts for a peaceful resolution with Iran over its alleged nuclear ambitions, it is somewhat surprising so many Americans were stunned at the news. After all, the only reason corrupt John Boehner brought Benjamin Netanyahu to America was to lobby the full Congress to pass a piece of neo-con war power legislation to sabotage the United Nation’s (P5+1) attempt to avoid another American Middle East war Netanyahu is desperate to start.

Zarif said, “in our view, this letter has no legal value and is mostly a propaganda ploy. It is very interesting that while negotiations are still in progress and while no agreement has been reached, some political pressure groups are so afraid even of the prospect of an agreement that they resort to unconventional methods, unprecedented in diplomatic history. This indicates that like Netanyahu, who considers peace an existential threat, some are opposed to any agreement, regardless of its content.” Republican and Netanyahu war mongering is certainly not a secret, but it is a very prescient statement coming from so-called “warmongering” Iranians.

Zarif added that “I should bring one important point to the attention of the authors and that is, the world is not the United States, and the conduct of inter-state relations is governed by international law; not US domestic law. The authors may not fully understand that in international law, governments represent the entirety of their respective states, are responsible for the conduct of foreign affairs, are required to fulfill the obligations they undertake with other states, and may not invoke their internal law as justification for failure to perform their international obligations.”

The Iranian Foreign Minister also reminded the GOP traitors that regardless their allegiance to foreigner Netanyahu, a “change of administration does not in any way relieve the next administration from international obligations undertaken by its predecessor in a possible agreement about Iran’s peaceful nuclear program. I wish to enlighten the authors that if the next administration revokes any agreement with ‘the stroke of a pen,’ as they boast, it will have simply committed a blatant violation of international law.” However, in the same manner that Republicans violated the Logan Act, they have blatantly violated international laws forbidding discrimination, inhumane treatment of American citizens, and torture; it is something the United Nations should be very cognizant of in monitoring America to ensure it honors any Security Council agreement with Iran.

I have handpicked some better names for GOP and these 47 Senators.

Netanyahu's Bitches, Israel's *** Lickers, Israeli Stooges, Israelis also with American citizenship and Israel's personal assholes.
