Sen. Kirk puts America second to Israel in Iran negotiations
Uncle Sam may sign Illinois Senator Mark Kirk's paycheck, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signs his marching orders to sabotage US efforts for forge a nuclear détente deal with Iran. Check out Kirk's website to see that his Iran issue may have well be drafted in Jerusalem. It has a chart with the alarming title: "IRAN'S DEAL OF THE CENTURY". The chart is completely one sided in showing that Iran gets everything it wants and America gets nothing. Really Senator? Only a fool or a warmonger like Kirk would believe such nonsense. It gets worse. Kirk adds this quote under the chart which shows his true allegiance:
"This is a very, very, bad deal"
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Kirk also issued a public statement comparing the current US-Iran negotiations to "the agreement Neville Chamberlain had reached with Adolph Hitler in Munich". This comes right from the Israeli playbook of connecting any reasonable, sane and needed efforts to defuse tensions between the US and Iran as Nazi style appeasement. That is reprehensible hyperbole.
With these latest actions Kirk has vaulted past Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) as the Senate's top warmonger. He isn't satisfied having voted for every one of the three trillion dollars we've spent on criminal wars in the Middle East that have needlessly killed hundreds of thousands, including 6,000 GI's. No, Senator Kirk is bound and determined to risk further, even more catastrophic war, in his efforts to help Israel take out their rival for hegemony in the Middle East.
We can't blame Kirk's massive 2012 stroke for his bizarre and harmful support of the Israeli Likud Party's national interests. He has been championing their interests over Uncle Sam's for his entire career. It would have been nice, however, if Kirk's brush with early death would have been the epiphany that made him realize we should spend each precious day we have working for lasting peace instead of senseless war.
