Meanwhile, it's perfectly OK for Netanyahu to keep threatening to bomb Iran: [LINK] It's perfectly OK for the US/Israel to attack Iran's industrial infrastructure with a virus: [LINK] (an act that Obama said would be an "act of war" if done to the US) It's perfectly OK for Israel to kill Iranian nuclear scientists: [LINK] And it's perfectly OK for people like John McCain (who came this >< close to becoming POTUS) to sing about bombing Iran: [VIDEO] But hey, Ahmedinajad says one sentence that's dubiously translated, and that's not OK.
Obama did the Iran nuclear deal to start a peace process. You're mistaking him with GWB and McCain, who famously sang Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran on stage: [VIDEO]
McCain himself points that out: [VIDEO] I remember him for that one but also for advocating the permanent military presence, like South Korea, going forward in Iraq. [LINK] I'm somewhat surprised that HN seems to have such a hardon for the man, and every negative comment is being downvoted / flagged. I remember pretty clearly how Obama-obsessed the tech world was in 2008, and even Family Guy did a "we're not saying he's a nazi but nazis support him" routine: [LINK] What happened to make the HN crowd change their opinion (did McCain fight back against software patents at some point despite being a self-admitted computer illiterate?), or was it always glowing and the subject just didn't come up?
Here is what Iranians see from major American presidential candidates considered to be "highly respected on both sides of the aisle": [VIDEO]
