Krauthammer to Obama: Republicans Don’t Oppose Diplomacy, Just Bad Diplomacy

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: "This is the president’s mendacity continuing to a degree that is really quite remarkable. ‘There are people on both sides and beyond’ — so he means Republicans at home and Israelis – ‘who are against a diplomatic resolution. That’s a lie. They are against this diplomatic resolution, the deal he is doing that any observer will tell you paves the road to an Iranian nuclear weapon that is legitimate and accepted by the international community. It is a disaster. That’s why it is opposed. People aren’t opposed to diplomacy; they are opposed to a specific deal. This is a president who I think is making an overture essentially saying Iran should be our ally in the region. And what do you think the Saudis, the Emirates, and the others are thinking when they hear that? An alliance with Iran is an alliance with their mortal enemy, and this is all happening openly. To address this to Iranians, as if Iran is a democracy when it is a dictatorship that put down a democratic revolution which he turned his face and never supported, is disgraceful."
