Iran will use that money to prosper their citizens?

The arrogance is astounding.
America still has not learned one lesson from Vietnam to 9/11 to the financial meltdown.

Oh....wait....
In fact, I expect that some of the money will be used to open embassies in Israel, and start ecumenical outreach programs in the name of world brotherhood (and sisterhood).

Iran will thus be able to create a uniquely beneficent planned community of solid, well-designed infrastructure, a generous social welfare safety net, and at the same time promote peace and goodwill throughout the earth.

With Khamemeni's and Rouhani's leadership, three-lane highways that will be the envy of the world, surpassing German's Autobahns and the U.S.'s Interstate Highway system will knit the country together. The plight of the poor and destitute will be relieved. Education programs to ameliorate bigotry and hatred of homosexuals and transsexuals will be created and, unlike those in the West not starved for funds.

Iran will sponsor peaceful development throughout the Middle East. Iran will generously fund agricultural assistance programs for third-world countries.

In short, Obama's fostered the creation of paradise on earth.

P.S. - I woke up from my dream. It's still headed to 90 today, and gay sleepaway campers in Iran are still being thrown off cliffs.


Is there a reason you would share this dream with us? Last night, I had a dream that I was living on a desert island, scuba diving every day in crystal clear water with the most beautiful woman on earth. I then returned home, found the cure for cancer, ended world hunger, and ended the campaign of Donald Trump.

I'm glad we got to share our dreams.

You pick and choose what lessons are to be learned and where they are to be learned from.

You didn't mention Munich, where pacification to a regime that was "no real threat to us" (Meaning Britain) was offered. Germany then had free choice to invade Czechoslovakia; Iran will now support Hezbollah. I'll leave it up to you to decide what Hezbollah will do with all that money and access to advanced weaponry.

You and Obama believe that The US is the problem. I predict that when the next real strike comes you will say, "America still has not learned one lesson from Vietnam to 9/11 to the financial meltdown", and will blame America for that, too.

Consider this, have your bedtime elixir, and see what you think when you wake up from your dream...er...scream.

Gen. Vallely asserts Iran already has The Bomb.
Vallely joined nearly 200 retired military generals and admirals who sent a joint letter to the US Congress last week urging them not to pass the Iran deal.

Iran only agreed to the deal to get the sanctions lifted, so that they can proceed with their goals -- the one that appears to be the highest priority, according to Hussein Sheikholeslam, an Iran foreign affairs adviser, is to deal with Israel; he "rejects the existence of any Israeli on this earth. Our positions against the usurper Zionist regime have not changed at all; Israel should be annihilated and this is our ultimate slogan."

I'm sure that would include 'dealing' with any nation that stands in the way.

lol, gawd I'm loving your satire; however, I think some of the posters took it as serious, judging from some of the replies.
