Liars lying, deceivers deceiving
The US “president” has announced a deal to allow Iran to continue its nuclear program. Essentially, it is a deal that the “president” is trying to spin as a reasonable approach to keep Iran from having nuclear weapons, when in reality it is Iran’s path to nuclear weapons. Already, the liars are lying and the deceivers are deceiving. The “president” said it was “an historic understanding with Iran, which, if fully implemented” will prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons. Trouble is, Iran’s leadership doesn’t see it that way. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif told a news conference that the US had agreed to allow Iran to continue the enrichment of uranium. He essentially called the “president” a liar.
The cat and mouse game that began in the early 2000s with Iran continues. One side says they have a deal and outlines the specifics and Iran comes back and says that is not what it agreed to at all. So who’s lying? Both are. The US “president” is lying to the American public about any kind of deal that would prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon. From Congress to the Prime Minister of the nation this deal affects most, Israel, all say it will not do what the “president” says it will. You do not even have to look at the details of the deal because anything that would lift sanctions on Iran and not require that Iran have nothing to do with uranium, will not prevent Iran from having a nuclear bomb if it so desires.
The Iranians/Persians have been incredible negotiators throughout history. Sending a lightweight like Secretary of State John Kerry to negotiate a deal on behalf of America or Israel is indeed sending a pocket knife to quell a fight against warriors with weapons–the knife is no good, has no intelligence, until someone directs it, and then it is out manned. The saddest thing, however, is that the US “president” is so enamored with Iran and all things Muslim that he appears to have no qualms about selling out the stability and peace of the rest of the world to give his Islamic buddies a leg up in the balance of power. A traitor has many ways to spin deceit and we are witnessing a historical spin of a future death spiral.
Fortunately for America, there are checks and balances. The Congress has a say. Whether it uses that authority is still in question. The “president” has placed us all in grave danger with this deal and his defiance to listen to reason–even from members of his own party who see this as a bad deal. Proverbs 12:20 says, “Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil.” As in Jeremiah 9, we live in the midst of deceit as our leaders and the leaders of our enemies “bend their tongues like their bow for lies; but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil” because they do not know the Lord. Our Lord and Savior says of these times “Take heed that no man deceive you.” Pray, act, stand.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
Putting “president” in quote marks is silly, juvenile and pointless. He was properly elected and inaugurated twice. You can hate him if you choose to, but sarcastic typography weakens your argument.
