Curious how the BBC frames the debate about the agreement with Iran over nuclear weapons on its Frontpage…..
Obama foes condemn Iran nuclear deal
They don’t oppose the deal because of genuine, considered reasons but because they hate the black guy in the White House?
Jeremy Bowen is claiming that the agreement is a major achievement as it removes Iran’s nuclear capability….
The agreement in Vienna removes Iran’s nuclear programme from the danger list. Two years ago, as Israel threatened to bomb Iran, it looked likely to lead to a major Middle East war. That in itself is a major diplomatic achievement.
Curious then that Israel is making threats to flatten Tehran as the World paves the way for a new nuclear terrorist super power…peace? A major diplomatic achievement?…thanks to G.W.F..
The Telegraph says..
Iran nuclear deal: Peace in our time? Not with this shoddy agreement
If Mr Obama really believes his “historic” deal is going to bring peace to the region, then he needs to think again.
Then again Bowen did claim that the Muslim Brotherhood were moderates.
Deja Vu in the comments links to this reminder of past successes in controlling rogue states and their nuclear ambitions……
The BBC reminds us also how that went…
Has North Korea got the bomb?
Technically yes, but not yet the means to deliver it via a missile.
In 2006, 2009 and again in 2013, North Korea announced that it had conducted successful nuclear tests – they all came after the North was sanctioned by the UN for launching rockets.
Analysts believe the first two tests used plutonium as the fissile material. The North is believed to possess enough weapons-grade plutonium for at least six bombs. Whether it used plutonium or uranium for the 2013 test is unclear.
However don’t be afraid…..those nasty
Conservative Media Ignore The Differences Between Iran And North Korea Nuclear Agreements
What’s the difference?
The Iran Nuclear Deal Is Much More Detailed Than The North Korean Agreement, And The Countries’ Circumstances Are Different
So there!
The key lesson that the US learnt was that they must have more protocols in place to ensure that Iran doesn’t break its promises…which is all they are….
‘After the Agreed Framework, they [Korea] agreed to more intrusive inspections; but in 2002, when they finally broke its commitments, its violations were detected by the IAEA. We’ve also said very publicly that one of the reasons we have the Additional Protocol now, which is a key part of what we’re negotiating with Iran, is in fact because of the lessons we learned from the North Korea situation.
Its violations were detected by the IAEA…and then what? Didn’t stop them breaking the agreement in the first place…and then couldn’t force them to bin their nukes. Nothing to fear then!
Sleep in peace.
Santayana told us we’re doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past – this time, you can simplify his statement – we are simply doomed.
Recourse to Jeremy Bowen for ‘impartial analysis’ on such a topic shows how corrupted the BBC has become.
It would be a joke if not so serious.
Hope Mrs. Craig is happy with the service her BFFs are providing to global stability.
The Iran deal: the comparison with 1938 is wrong and here is why
Edgar Davidson’s argument is essentially that the 1938 agreement gave away far less to the Germans than the 2015 agreement gave to the Iranians.
All ye need to know about the Iran deal (or ‘what else the BBC aren’t telling you) in 5 mins
All this fuss is obviously Israeli paranoia.
I mean………..just because somebody says that they want nothing less than the annihilation of your country and the genocide of your population and that somebody has just got the green light to develop its own nuclear capapbility (but promise we won’t use it on anybody, honest)……what’s to worry about?
Silly old Jooz. That was the OLD Iran. Waaaay back, errrm, last week.

Those who think that this Iran agreement is good news are the same folks who welcomed the Arab Spring. No more need be said as to their boundless common sense and ability to see , even just a short distance , ahead. By and large if the BBC say something is good you can expect the UK, or even the West as a whole , will eventually pay a heavy price.
Western Civilisation can no longer afford the luxury of indulging our liberal elite in politics,media and academia.
On every existential matter they are wrong.
They are on a par with the Trojans who let in the Horse. Not that the average BBC /liberal hack has any real knowledge now of history or the classics.
In 1985, North Korea got even a better deal. 21 years later they set off their first nuke.
But then the US is run by a lawyer and the EU nations simply want to set up shop in the Islamic hell hole. You know that perfect place where lots of people get hung, which no liberal c-ck sucker every berates the mullahs for, but at the same time bitches (As only screaming queens can) about nasty America every arse fart they get.
