Idiot Ilhan Omar Says Iran War Talk Has Sparked PTSD For Her

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar said this week that she has found herself “stricken with PTSD,” amid America’s escalating tensions with Iran. While some have criticized her comments, others have chimed in in support.

“I feel ill a little bit because of everything that is taking place. I think every time I hear about…I hear of conversations around war, I find myself being stricken with PTSD,” she explained during a Wednesday press conference. “And I find peace knowing that I serve with great advocates for peace and people who have shown courage against war.”

Omar also tweeted Wednesday criticizing President Trump’s plans to impose harsh economic sanctions against Iran. Trump announced the plan several hours after Iran’s missile strike against two Iraqi bases housing American troops. It was a retaliatory strike after the U.S. killed Iran’s top general, Qassem Soleimani, last week.

This makes no sense. Sanctions are economic warfare.

They have already caused medical shortages and countless deaths in Iran.

You cannot claim to want deescalation and then announce new sanctions with no clear goal. This is not a measured response! https://twitter.com/buzzfeednews/status/1214951572251262977 …BuzzFeed News✔@BuzzFeedNewsTrump: The US “will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions” on Iran as we evaluate options 43.1K 12:47 PM – Jan 8, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 32K people are talking about this

Omar’s comments were met with backlash from an Indiana congressman who served in Afghanistan.

“This is a disgrace and offensive to our nation’s veterans who really do have PTSD after putting their life on the line to keep America safe,” Rep. Jim Banks tweeted.

Omar responded, saying it was “shameful” of Banks to erase the PTSD of survivors. Omar was born in Mogadishu, Somalia in 1981 and fled the country when she was 10 with her family at the beginning of the Somali Civil War in 1991. Her family spent four years at a refugee camp in Kenya before coming to the United States in 1995. She moved to Minnesota in 1997.

Ilhan Omar✔@IlhanMN

Hi Jim,

I survived war as a child and deal with post-traumatic stress disorder—much like many who have served or lived through war.

It’s shameful that you as a member of Congress would erase the PTSD of survivors.

PTSD, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a psychiatric disorder that can occur in those who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. It does not only effect combat veterans and the American Psychiatric Association gives natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, rape and violent personal assault as examples of events that can cause PTSD along with war and combat.

Others on Twitter expressed support for Omar’s PTSD comment. Jason Kander, a veteran and former Secretary of State in Missouri said “It’s not up to us to decide who is and is not ‘worthy’ of PTSD.”

“Trauma is trauma. A uniform is not required,” Kander tweeted.

Muslim Ilhan Omar Upset At Trump For Killing Iranian Terrorist In Iraq

Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) attacked President Donald Trump late on Thursday night for his order to kill top terrorist leaders in Iraq and also promoted a conspiracy theory.

Iranian Major-General Qassem Soleimani, head of the Quds Force, and Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis were the two terrorist leaders who were killed. Al-Muhandis was in charge of the Iranian-linked Popular Mobilization Forces.

The Department of Defense released a statement stating that Trump ordered the strike because “General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region.”

“General Soleimani and his Quds Force were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more,” the Pentagon continued. “He had orchestrated attacks on coalition bases in Iraq over the last several months – including the attack on December 27th – culminating in the death and wounding of additional American and Iraqi personnel. General Soleimani also approved the attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad that took place this week.”

Despite the statement from the Pentagon and the clear reasoning behind the attack, Omar responded by suggesting that Trump secretly carried out the strike to provide a “distraction” from the upcoming Senate impeachment trial.

Omar tweeted: “So what if Trump wants war, knows this leads to war and needs the distraction? Real question is, will those with congressional authority step in and stop him? I know I will.”

The Qod’s Force is Iran’s elite military force and is a designated terrorist organization.

The U.S. State Department reports the following details on the Qod’s Force:

The IRGC—most prominently through its Qods Force—has the greatest role among Iran’s actors in directing and carrying out a global terrorist campaign.
- In recent years, IRGC Qods Force terrorist planning has been uncovered and disrupted in many countries, including Germany, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Kenya, Bahrain, and Turkey.
- The IRGC Qods Force in 2011 plotted a brazen terrorist attack against the Saudi Ambassador to the U.S. on American soil. Fortunately, this plot was foiled.
- In September 2018, a U.S. federal court found Iran and the IRGC liable for the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing which killed 19 Americans.
- In 2012, IRGC Qods Force operatives were arrested in Turkey for plotting an attack and in Kenya for planning a bombing.
- In January 2018, Germany uncovered ten IRGC operatives involved in a terrorist plot in Germany, and convicted another IRGC operative for surveilling a German-Israeli group.

President Trump Says Obama Gave American Citizenship Tp 2,500 Iranians During The Nuke Deal

Obama Is A Great Muslim Ass Kisser.

President Donald Trump claims the Obama administration offered U.S. citizenship to thousands of Iranians, including the families of certain government employees, during the negotiations on the Iran nuclear deal.

“Just out that the Obama Administration granted citizenship, during the terrible Iran Deal negotiation, to 2,500 Iranians – including to government officials,” he tweeted Tuesday, adding, “How big (and bad) is that?”

The president, who announced U.S. withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (Iran deal) in May, appears to be referencing a Fox News story citing a recent report from Iran’s semi-official Far News agency.

Obama Loves To Kiss Iran Ass More Than Anything

“When Obama, during the negotiations about the JCPOA, decided to do a favor to these men, he granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians and some officials started a competition over whose children could be part of these 2,500 Iranians,” Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zolnour, the conservative head of the Iranian parliament’s nuclear committee and a member of the national security and foreign policy committees, revealed recently, according to Far News. He explained that the Obama administration sought to curry favor with senior Iranian officials aligned with President Hassan Rouhani.

“If today these Iranians get deported from America, it will become clear who is complicit and sells the national interest like he is selling candies to America,” Zolnour, who is close to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, further arguing that “It should be stated exactly which children of which authorities live in the United States and have received citizenship or residency.”

Fox noted that is unclear whether the Iranian politician meant citizenship or legal permanent resident (green card) status.

In 2015, the year the Iran nuclear deal was signed, the U.S. awarded green cards to 13,114 Iranians, and another 13,298 received green cards the following year, according to Department of Homeland Security data. Another 10,344 Iranians were naturalized in 2015, while 9,507 were granted citizenship in 2016.

If true, this would represent another concession by the Obama administration during negotiations for the Iran nuclear deal.

A Senate report released in June alleged that the Obama administration secretly allowed Iran to access the U.S. financial system to convert assets to U.S. dollars, despite repeated assurances that it would not permit such transactions. (RELATED: Obama Administration Allegedly Let Iran Access US Financial System Because They Were ‘Desperate To Get A Deal’)

Obama Is Such A Bitch.

There are also longstanding concerns about the $1.7 billion payment to Iran that was portrayed by the administration as a legal settlement but coincided with the release of American prisoners, leading many observers to call it a ransom.

The Iranian politician’s comments are questionable, though. Fox News analyst and former Obama State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said his comments sound like “totally made up BS.”

Iran Screams Death To America After Nuclear Withdrawal

**Who Cares What These Monkey’s Say. I Bet You Respect Us Now.**

Iran Sends Millions To Terrorist But Many Of Their People Live Like This.

The Iranian regime orchestrated a series of anti-American protests in response to President Donald Trump’s decision to exit the Iran nuclear deal and featured supporters throughout the Islamic Republic who gathered after Friday’s prayers.

“Mr. Trump, you are talking nonsense,” placards held by pro-regime, anti-American protesters read in Tehran and other cities, according to Iran’s state-run Press TV.

Press TV noted that the protesters were “mostly participants at weekly Friday Prayers”:

The protesters reportedly chanted, “Death to America,” “Death to Israel,” and “We fight, we die, but we do not accept any compromise”:

Iranian members of Parliament set a U.S. flag on fire and chanted, “Death to America” hours after Trump announced on Tuesday the United States was exiting the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The MPs also torched a symbolic copy of the Iran deal before vowing to increase spending on their ballistic missile program.

During his Friday sermon, prayers leader Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami reportedly said, “In his speech, Trump told at least 10 lies against our nation and made insults and accusations. The answer to all that nonsense is what this great nation has always been saying: ‘America is dead wrong’ and ‘Mr. Trump, you are talking nonsense.’”

On Thursday, in Iran’s northeast province Mashhad, Iranian teachers protested outside the office of the Plan and Budget Organization and the local offices of the Department of Education against the regime and called for a higher education budget and income:

According to Iran News Update, “The protesters denounced the regime’s attempts to privatize education in the country. They complained that the regime pays no attention to the level of education for Iranian students. The protesting teachers demanded the release of their imprisoned colleagues. They stated that teachers’ place is in the classroom, not in prison.”

President Trump Ending Iran Deal And Obama’s So-Called Legacy Is Falling Fast

The Iran Deal Is A Total Disaster.

I know I never accomplished Shit.

President Donald Trump’s announcement Tuesday that the U.S. is leaving the Iran deal marks the end of what his predecessor, Barack Obama, considered his main foreign policy legacy.

Trump will earn credit from his supporters for keeping his promise. But in truth, the Iran deal was undone by its own terms. It did not stop Iran from enriching uranium; it did not stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon, eventually; and it did not stop Iran’s global aggression.

In fact, the Iran deal was not even a deal at all.

It was never signed by any of the parties (the U.S., Iran, France, the UK, Germany, China, and Russia). It was unclear about crucial subjects like ballistic missiles, because the “deal” was described differently by the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and by the UN Security Council Resolutions that were meant to implement it. And, crucially, it was never sent to the U.S. Senate for ratification.

Obama’s disregard for the Treaty Clause of the U.S. Constitution was of a piece with his general disregard for the constitutional constraints on the power of the federal government and the presidency. His refusal to submit the agreement to Senate scrutiny, and his party’s abuse of the filibuster to prevent even a weak Senate vote, deepened the damage that Obamacare — his other struggling “legacy,” in domestic policy — did to American civic culture.

More than Obama’s autocratic style, what Trump ended is Obama’s legacy of appeasement.

Barack Obama came to power convinced that the United States was at best a negative force in world affairs, and at worst the cause of the world’s problems. He believed that America could be a force for good, but only if it renounced its traditional allies, abandoned its principles of freedom, and gave up its national interests in favor of rising regional powers elsewhere.

In his first year in office, Obama backed away from agreements that his predecessor had made to provide missile defense in Europe. He also reached out to the Muslim world, beginning with obsequious speeches in Cairo and in Ankara, and deep genuflection to the Saudi king. When the Green Revolution took to the streets of Iran, Obama allowed the regime to consolidate power. He criticized Israel openly while cozying up to the Cuban dictatorship.

Trump has reversed most of that. He launched attacks on Syria for using chemical weapons — policing the “red line” Obama drew but would not enforce. He withdrew from the Paris Climate Accords and exposed it as a fraud. Later this week, he will move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

“The United States no longer issues empty threats. When I make promises, I keep them,” he said. Thus ended Obama’s experiment with appeasement and autocracy.

Benjamin Netanyahu Proves Iran Lied About Nuclear Program: Obama Knew Also!

This Means Barack Obama And John Kerry Should Be In Prison Right?

TEL AVIV — In a dramatic press conference in Jerusalem aimed at the international community, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday unveiled a cache of secret files he says were obtained from inside a hidden Iranian site and clearly demonstrate that Tehran maintained a secret nuclear weapons program despite declarations to the contrary.

Netanyahu explained that the structure of the U.S.-led international nuclear agreement was in part based on deceptive Iranian descriptions of its previous nuclear work. He said Iran’s failure to disclose its secret program while misleading the world shows the nuclear deal is “based on lies based on Iranian deception.”

The Israeli leader presented evidence that Iran continued research for a nuclear weapons program even after signing the 2015 nuclear deal.

“Iran’s leaders repeatedly deny ever pursuing nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu began. “Tonight I’m here to tell you one thing: Iran lied.”

“After signing the nuclear deal in 2015, Iran intensified its efforts to hide its secret files,” he said. “In 2017 Iran moved its nuclear weapons files to a highly secret location in Tehran.”

Netanyahu said the secret nuclear files prove the following:

Iran lied about never having a secret nuclear program. Second, even after the deal it continued to expand its nuclear program for future use. Third, Iran lied by not coming clean to the IAEA. Finally, the nuclear deal is based on lies based on Iranian deception.

The prime minister’s speech was based on 55,000 pages of documents and 183 CDs that Netanyahu said were smuggled out of an “atomic archive” painstakingly preserving Iran’s secretive nuclear program so that the country would have the option of restarting its nuclear weapons activities after the nuclear deal expires or in the case of Tehran prematurely bolting the agreement. Israel’s ability to acquire the archive marks a massive intelligence coup for the Jewish state.

“Iran lied. Big time,” Netanyahu said of the half-ton of material obtained by Israel.

The trove, Netanyahu added, contains “incriminating documents, incriminating charts, incriminating presentations, incriminating blueprints, incriminating photos, incriminating videos and more.”

He said Israel shared the material with the U.S., and that “the United States can vouch for its authenticity.”

The “atomic archive” was compiled by Iran with the express purpose of preserving its secretive nuclear weapons plan known as Project Amad, which aimed to “design, produce and test… five warheads, each with a 10 kiloton TNT yield, for integration on a missile.”

“That is like five Hiroshima bombs to be put on ballistic missiles,” asserted Netanyahu.

Netanyahu outlined Project Amad as containing five key elements described by the Times of Israel thusly: “Designing nuclear weapons, developing nuclear cores, building nuclear implosion systems, preparing nuclear tests and integrating nuclear warheads on missiles.”

Netanyahu said that in 2003, Iran shut down the version of Project Amad that existed at the time and instead divided its nuclear program into both covert and overt components. Besides archiving the material for future use, Netanyahu said Iran continued to research nuclear weapons.

Netanyahu called on President Donald Trump to “do the right thing” as the May 12 deadline to recertify the nuclear agreement approaches.

“The right thing for the United States. The right thing for Israel. And the right thing for the peace of the world,” he concluded.

Iranian government

The Iranian regime orchestrated a series of anti-American protests in response to President Donald Trump’s decision to exit the Iran nuclear deal and featured supporters throughout the Islamic Republic who gathered after Friday’s prayers.

President Donald Trump’s announcement Tuesday that the U.S. is leaving the Iran deal marks the end of what his predecessor, Barack Obama, considered his main foreign policy legacy.
