Rouhani Said This:

Powerful conclusion to Rouhani's speech tonight: "Tonight, I am sorry for one reason. That the American people, who are a great nation, are stuck with rulers who have trampled on their dignity. On the other hand, I am delighted that a disruptive entity has left the JCPOA."

Whatever John Kerry did to keep Iran on the high road, I applaud him. Wwcd May 2018 #5

Even the President of Iran acts like a better leader than the ignoramus we have. nt procon May 2018 #8

donnie pissed all over that, after hiring people like bolton.

it's one thing to want war, it's another thing to make it look like you want war.

shrub at least put on a show. a complete lie, of course, but at least he made it look like saddam was a monster, and gosh we didn't want war but we have to to protect the region and our allies and blah blah blah. again, a horrendous lie, and a fairly obvious one, but at least they were aware that we shouldn't *look* like we wanted war.

not donnie. he makes it look like he wants war and he makes it look like he's trying to engineer an excuse for it.

not that i remotely want war, but in a way, it might be amusing to watch him try to forge an international coalition against iran. i wonder if even the uk would go along. israel might not either.
