No kidding. Josh Earnst admits Iran “serially violated” the resolutions. And yet somehow we’re expected to pretend that the treaty that’s not a treaty we just made with Iran will actually cause them to suspend their pursuit of nuclear weapons.

The capitulation of American leadership in the region will have long term consequences that we cannot even imagine right now. We’re already seeing short term disasters, and the worst is likely yet to come.

Since 1979, US presidents, both liberal and conservative, have pursued a policy of containment that, for the most part, was successful. Until now, when the radical US president pursued and abdication of our role in the international order.

We were mocked for warning you in 2008.

    I actually went to C-Span and watched that part of the press briefing (it starts roughly at the 13:45 mark). You can tell that Earnest feels like a complete idiot having to explain that since Iran is a “serial violator of agreements” (his phrasing), then it’s just old news and not really that big of a deal. Total white-wash, “move along folks, nothing to see here.”

    I almost feel sorry for him. Almost….
