If the name “Fordo” rings a bell it might be because you remember CIA Director John Brennan being questioned about it last Sunday.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — The United States is considering letting Tehran run hundreds of centrifuges at a once-secret, fortified underground bunker in exchange for limits on centrifuge work and research and development at other sites, officials have told The Associated Press.

The trade-off would allow Iran to run several hundred of the devices at its Fordo facility, although the Iranians would not be allowed to do work that could lead to an atomic bomb and the site would be subject to international inspections, according to Western officials familiar with details of negotiations now underway. In return, Iran would be required to scale back the number of centrifuges it runs at its Natanz facility and accept other restrictions on nuclear-related work. (more…)

She Will NOT Be Denied !

New York Times political reporter Amy Chozick has shared (via twitter) the content of an email she received from Team Hillary Clinton.

Apparently the group is planning to attack reporters with accusations of sexism if the media use words like “polarizing, calculating, disingenuous, insincere, ambitious, inevitable, entitled, over confident” to describe Hillary Clinton.

Yes, all of the aforementioned words have been used in the first 24 hours to describe Ted Cruz, but in typical fem-Nazi fashion that doesn’t matter.

This guy cracks me up. At the 0:50 second mark you see the White House parseltongue (aka. spin). Essentially stating the success of U.S. (Obama) Foreign Policy cannot be measured against the outcome of the government the policy is directed toward.

Just because the destination of the policy collapses and doesn’t deliver the desired outcome, does not mean the policy itself was unsuccessful. It merely means the recipient of the policy has failed, not the originator.

Doesn’t that explanation encapsulate the entire Obama outlook toward everything? Such an outlook reflects the perfect cognitive avoidance mechanism which demands consequences are never blamed on the originating action.

…I didn’t punch you in the face honey, you made me beat you by your action. It’s not me, it’s you…

We noted yesterday how General David Petraeus recently warned the Iranian Militias were a greater threat than the Sunni ISIS fighters they oppose. Fighting to aid the Shiite Militia is -for all intents and purposes- direct aid to agenda of Iran. FUBAR.

Meanwhile the Kurdish people who could really benefit from our efforts, and who pose no threat to U.S. interests, are left without support and/or weapons to fight.

(Via Long War Journal) The US-led military Coalition in Iraq is openly supporting Iranian-backed Shiite militias and Iraqi forces who are battling Islamic State fighters entrenched in Tikrit. Many of the Shiite militia commanders are listed by the US as Specially Designated Global Terrorists, and one militia is listed as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Many of the commanders and militias are responsible for killing US, Coailition, and Iraqi troops and civilians during the occupation of Iraq.

Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) announced today that “operations to support Iraqi Security Forces in Tikrit have commenced after a request from the Iraqi Prime Minister, Haider al Abadi,” in a press released issued by the US-led command. (more…)

Whaaambulance – The BGI failed, yet again, to gain traction on their #BLM and #FTP agenda because their chosen victim was, well, not a victim. But they’ll keep gnashing and drum beating while looking for the next locale… The entire shtick is getting old.

Truth Revolt’s Ben Shapiro on Obama’s actions on Iran.

It’s the progressives #1 Obamacare claim – if you want to repeal it, you are throwing 16 million people off healthcare plans. So when the CBS team tries the question, Ted Cruz gives them an accurate retort. Well done.

…”Well, you know, those numbers don’t tell the whole picture. For one thing, the bulk of those numbers are coming from expanded Medicaid. And Medicaid is a program where a lot of the people on Medicaid are not getting health care. Medicaid is a system that is already overburdened and more and more people are just getting waiting lists and not actually getting health care. Beyond that — remember, six million people had their health insurance canceled because of Obamacare. You’re not doing someone a favor if you cancel the health insurance they like and then force them to buy new health insurance at higher premiums that covers less”….

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
