Name one country, any country, that would go along with a MOU or deal preventing or conditioning its ability to defend itself against a massive terrorist force on its border firing missiles and drones into its towns and cities. Name one. And it has to get permission to defend itself or not strike too hard in response to imminent or actual terror attacks? And for what? A promise by a terrorist regime that funds terror proxies and seeks to annihilate it that it will comply with a paper agreement, for the first time in its existence, to abandon its ideological ambitions? Even now, if I understand what's in play, we are stating that we can always resort to military action if Iran does not honor its obligations. If Iran fires missiles at our bases and armed forces in the region, or if we think it will do so, what will we do? What did we do? We hammered the regime. After having been accused falsely and repeatedly of committing genocide in Gaza, despite the repeated reports and now subsequent reports that this was simply not true, today Israel is accused of blowing up buildings in Lebanon and being too aggressive. Hezbollah, which uses the same tactics as Hamas and the other Iranian regime terror proxies, may literally become a protectorate of sorts? I sure as hell hope I am misreading and mishearing things. If there is confusion it is due to the withholding of the MOU and publicly stated comments, not to those of us who can see and hear.
Fortunately @SecRubio made clear that Iran & Hezbollah aren’t linked in a deal. @Israel doesn’t need Iran permission to defend itself. The tether of terror must end.
Nothing we do in terms of a deal will change the behavior of this enemy. If you don't believe that you do not know what we are dealing with. If you do believe that you know that for them deals are made to be broken.
Put aside all the idiocy and static about who loves whom and who does not. That's the game of online thugs and bots. We are dealing with an ideologically committed terror state that has slaughtered thousands of our fellow Americans, thousands of people in surrounding countries, thousands of Iranians and, as President Trump said, sought nuclear weapons so they could actually use them to kill us.
There was a time, not long ago, when we never negotiated with terrorists or terror regimes. Today, we've dealt with intermediaries and now directly with terrorists. And a senior administration official even declared some or many of them now believe their 47-years of murder, rape, torture, and terrorism was a mistake. Pretty shocking. This regime is still executing innocent young people at a record pace. You wouldn't know it during the last several days. They don't even come up anymore. The reporters don't even ask about them.
Exactly how has this regime changed? Yes, former leaders are gone, but the regime remains, the ideology remains, the IRGC remains, and as you can tell, they are not rolling over. We are much more accommodating than we were at the outset. Let's not fool ourselves. This is why all the pressure and berating of Israel and Netanyahu. They simply cannot and must not accommodate the enemy as we wish, and in ways we would never tolerate on our homeland, or in ways the Arabs or Turkey or Pakistan insist on.
We can't be browbeaten by online thugs into silence or sit ignorantly while all this is swirling around, and we wait for the actual language of the MOU. We want the information and we want to express our opinions. Again, this isn't about what team you are on or loyalty tests or whatever. This is a big damn deal and we, as a people and a nation, want to get it right. And as far as I am concerned, many of us are ardent supporters of the president and the administration and want to be helpful and provide our own input based on our experiences and knowledge. Indeed, not everyone in government has all the answers and too damn many of them leak and push their own policies and agendas apart from the president's.
I know for a fact that Donald Trump is a great and historic president. I know he is a decent and compassionate man who cares deeply about all of this. The same can be said about Benjamin Netanyahu, who lost his brother in war and was himself injured in battle. The Israeli ambassador lost his eldest son in the early days of the war against Hamas in Gaza. Neither of our nations are led by dictators or kings, like those that surround Israel. And we are dealing with a death cult that has seized control of Iran and has more blood on its hands than can be measured.
The Iranian regime has not and will never change its ideology. And therein lies the problem, as nearly half a century of evil behavior has demonstrated and their own religious and political leaders and books and preachings make clear. They are about a cause, a revolution. They will not rest until it is exported everywhere, as Allah is said to command them. That is the reality. We are the enemy and must be destroyed.
Those who insist a deal can be made and that it is preferable, then they have to prove it. That's the way our system works. I, for one, am glad about it.
