Nuclear Iran 


By Jim Killebrew

[October 23, 2014]  Israel is surrounded by enemies armed to the teeth with an avowed position of "eliminating Israel from the face of the earth." The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has created a caliphate from which to launch attacks against Christians and "Infidels" in which the world is witnessing their brutality of beheadings of children and adults, murders by the hundreds, kidnappings, and rape of the women as the evil terrorists move like locusts from one town to another. They have been described by the President as ISIL, or the Islamic State of Iraq Levant.

The Islamic countries surrounding Israel, who is an ally to America, include Turkey to the North, Syria, Jordan, Hamas in Gaza, and Egypt. These are the collar countries that Israel must face each and every day to ensure they can defend themselves against possible terrorist attacks. The Hamas has recently been sending dozens of rockets from the Gaza Strip firing into the Israeli communities on a daily basis. Israel was compelled to protect her citizens by responding with force to push back the attacks coming from the air and the tunnels that were constructed from the Hamas-held territory into the Israeli communities.

Around those collar countries are another strand of Islamic countries who share in the vision of the likes of ISIL to annihilate all traces of the Jewish people. Those countries include, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Yemen and Oman. Beyond those back-up countries to the collar countries are Afghanistan and Pakistan. With the current movement of ISIL in Iraq and Syria threatening the people in those cities, including Baghdad itself, the entire region is aflame with war, terror, and bloodshed.

For several months now, the President and Secretary of State have been negotiating with the Iranian counterparts regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities. The Iranians have been building centrifuges and other nuclear materials over the past several years and have gotten dangerously close to obtaining the nuclear capability. At the same time the Iranian government has been providing supplies to the ISIL terrorist factions to establish their caliphate in Syria and Iraq. The Russian government has been pouring weapons and military training and materials into the Syrian government military thereby increasing the degree of unstableness in the region.

With the stated mind-set and common goals and values of the majority of Islamic countries in the area regarding their desire to inflict destruction upon Israel, a nuclear Iran would tip the balance of power in the region against Israel. Anyone who has even a cursory knowledge of the explosiveness of the situation knows that Israel would be in grave danger if nuclear warheads with an effective delivery system were suddenly found in the hands of the Iranians. Many experts in Middle Eastern political process agree that the Iranian leaders would not hesitate to use the nuclear weapons against Israel.

The same type of mutual deterrence experienced between the United States and the former USSR during the cold war that prevented all-out nuclear war is not present in the Middle East region. A mixture of fanaticism, terroristic tendencies, and religious fervor exist in that region that negates any efforts of restraint, especially on the part of the Iranian government. With a core belief of Islamic martyrdom ushering a homicidal bomber directly to Paradise, there seems to be no such deterrence to engage in mass destruction because of the accompanying devaluation of human life. Couple that with the desire to see the infidel destroyed, it would make for a very trigger-happy Iran.

So now, we are learning the Secretary of State, who has announced his belief that global warming is the greatest threat to the world, has been working on a deal with the Iranians that may result in their keeping thousands of their centrifuges. The President, working with the Secretary of State, who, by the way also believes that global warming is the most clear and present danger to the world, is ready to circumvent Congress and the Constitution to broker a deal that will allow the Iranians to keep their centrifuges with their word they will not use them to enrich uranium for the purpose of making a nuclear bomb.

The Israeli Prime Minister has responded:

"We are standing before the danger of an agreement that will leave Iran as a nuclear threshold state, with thousands of centrifuges through which Iran can manufacture the material for a nuclear bomb within a short period of time. This is a threat to the entire world, first and foremost to Israel, and it is much worse than the threat of Islamic State." (Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister)

If the President decides to circumvent the Congress and the Constitution in order to get a deal with Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei regarding the Islamic Republic's nuclear weapons program, it will put the entire Middle East region in jeopardy for an all-out nuclear war that would almost certainly bring in the Russian response, and likely that of China too.

The American people have a decision to make this November. The President has stated that even though the Senate democrats are pushing him away during this election because of his political toxicity, all the policies he projects during his remaining two years in office are on the table. He has stated most recently that the democrats running for re-election might not want his help in campaigning, but he said they were still his supporters. At the core, the American people know these policies, especially the agreement that might be sealed between the President and the leaders of Iran, will most assuredly lead to the Iranian government obtaining nuclear warheads and delivery systems.

Americans need to vote logically and prevent any "deals" from the President and the Secretary of State.
