This 'Olive Branch' comes with thorns
Publisher's note: I think my head is going to explode. All of a sudden President Rouhani of Iran is warming the room to extend the hand of friendship?! Does anyone with even half an ounce of common sense believe or trust him or his government?! I’m reminded of a song from a long time ago by WAR, (the irony is laughable considering I’m talking about Iran).
Let me remind everyone, that the government of Iran has been one of the leading supporters of world-wide terrorism on the planet. Given that our own current administration is also a supporter of terrorism given the aid and weapons it has supplied to muslim brotherhood backed regimes, and that our real potus, Valerie Jarrett, is Iranian, I fully expect to hear that John Kerry shakes that hand and offers tons of US tax dollars.
My friends, this is serious! The combined weakening of our military and defenses, coupled with our own soft stand against world-wide terrorism, and our current status on the world stage is creating a perfect storm for our demise. This is not the ‘Dove of Peace’ looking to extend an olive branch; this is the first vulture circling over a lost, dying steer in the wilderness waiting to devour the carcass. We must be wary.
Arutz Sheva: Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday that it was possible to turn more than three decades of enmity with the United States into friendship if both sides made an effort, Reuters reports.
The Iranian President made the comments in an interview with Swiss television after arriving at the World Economic Forum in Davos where he will court the global business community and meet a series of oil company executives.
"No animosity lasts eternally, no friendship either lasts eternally. So we have to transform animosities into friendship," Rouhani told RTS television when asked whether there could one day be an American embassy again in Tehran instead of the Swiss embassy representing U.S. interests in Iran.
In the interview, in which Rouhani spoke in Farsi voiced over into French, he said relations with Washington had been difficult in the past but with hard work and efforts by both sides, problems could be overcome.
"This effort is necessary to create confidence on both sides. Iran is in fact stretching out its hand in peace and friendship to all countries of the world and wants friendly, good relations with all countries in the world," the president said, according to Reuters.
