Obama’s Nuclear Con: Lying While Press Laps It Up
Ben Rhodes ridicules 27year-old journalists uncritically selling the Obama administration’s Iranian nuclear deal (“Con Games of the Liars Club,” Michael Goodwin, May 8).
Rhodes crafted a false narrative, based upon an unexamined lie: that newly elected Iranian moderates provided a unique opportunity for a diplomatic reset.
The Obama administration typically aims its venomous disdain at Republicans, and Americans “clinging to guns and religion.” Now it publicly ridicules its own witless media propagandists.
Many of this administration’s policies are demonstrably flawed. But its smug, and cynical, arrogance is truly boundless. Ray Arroyo Westwood, NJ The Iran nuclear deal fiasco has finally been laid bare. It was nothing more than a clever work of fiction promoted as fact and hawked by self-serving politicos to an uninformed readership that relishes the promise of happy endings.
Unfortunately, this ending may well prove disastrous for our country, as well as our allies. Sheldon Hersh Lawrence
With the appalling, yet unsurprising, expose of Obama’s Iran charade, we now have a poster boy for the president’s pathological lies.
Obama’s henchmen remind me of Nixon’s — John Ehrlichman and Robert Haldeman were smug and unabashedly arrogant, just like Rhodes. Donn-Alexandre Feder Manhattan
Championed by President Obama, the Iran deal could go down in history as one of the most destructive foreign policy directives since British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s Munich Agreement.
Even a child could see the subterfuge and foolishness of this ill-conceived deal. Josh Scharf Short Hills, NJ
