| The Iran Deal and the Next Iraq War |

| [SultanKnish] Obama accused Iran deal opponents of being responsible for the Iraq War, but it's his deal that once again ratifies Iranian authority in the region in general and in Iraq specifically. Deal supporters claim that letting Iran go nuclear will dispose it to work with us on Iraq. The State Department claimed Iran and the US had a "shared interest." Kerry had already suggested last year that Iran could help in Iraq. But the last thing that Iran will be doing on its victory lap is helping America. Obama's sanctions relief will help Iran increase its funding to sectarian Shiite forces in Iraq and the flow of cash to its terror militias. Meanwhile the deal sends the clear message that Iran beat America. That will further alter the balance of power in Iraq while driving more Sunni and Shiite internecine warfare. The next Iraq War may already be here. When it drags in our soldiers, it will be because Obama's Iraq policy continues driving a civil war by favoring Iran over Iraq's Sunnis. The nuclear deal gave Obama the opportunity to avert that war by sending a clear message to Iran. Instead Obama sent up a white flag. The current phase of the war in Iraq was caused by Obama's original Iranian political solution. The next phase of the war will be caused by the fallout from his latest dirty deal with Iran. |

| #2 Back in '94, I was hired as a consultant by HUD. I asked what they wanted and I was given a BS task to occupy time. This was just after the republicans took the Senate back under Gingrich. After a month, I asked what was up. A high up confided that at that time, HUD had 94 separate IT systems. It only needed four to do its job. The rest were pork created by democrats to funnel money to supporters. I was brought in to advise on the house cleaning they thought that the republicans would start. After a month they said never mind. I chewed my managing partner out and left to go back into private industry. Outsiders are sorely needed. |
