"If Israel attacks Iran according to that deal, I believe... that we have to fight with Iran against Israel," Republican presidential candidate tells CNN. In a telephone interview with CNN Tuesday, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump said that under the auspices of the Iran nuclear agreement, if Israel were to attack the Islamic Republic, the United States would have to come to the Tehran's aid. Trump has vocally opposed the deal since announcing his run for president, saying that the United States "should have doubled up the sanctions for another couple of months" and that the 24-day notice Iran receives before sites can be inspected is unacceptable. But Trump added an unconventional twist to the opposition argument, suggesting that under the terms of the deal the United States was required to fight alongside Iran if Israel were to attack. "You know, there is something in the Iran deal that people I don't think really understand or know about," the real estate mogul said. "And nobody is ever to explain it that if somebody attacks Iran, we have to come to their defense." Trump added, "And I'm saying this - that includes Israel? And most people say, yes. So, if Israel attacks Iran according to that deal, I believe... that we have to fight with Iran against Israel." In one of its annexes, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action calls for cooperation by Western powers with Iran on nuclear safety "as appropriate." Such cooperation may include training and workshops for Iran to ward against sabotage of its declared, legal civilian nuclear facilities. Nowhere in the agreement, however, is the United States or any other party required to come to the defense of Iran should the country be attacked. On Wednesday, the Obama administration secured the support of 34 senators for its landmark nuclear agreement with Iran, ensuring its safe passage through a vote scheduled in Congress this month. Senator Barbara Mikulski, Democrat from Maryland, announced her support for the deal on Wednesday morning. She followed announcements from two Democratic colleagues, senators Chris Coons of Delaware and Bob Casey, Jr. from Pennsylvania, the previous day. Congress may still vote and pass a resolution disapproving of the deal when it reconvenes next week. Michael Wilner contributed to this report. Poster Comment: Trump just grew a pair. I still do not trust him but he is better than the 15 Israel Firsters running for the Republican nomination.

Yep, just like the US is protecting other Mideast countries from ISIS; by destroying the country's infrastructure, food, and water.

We can't defend our own borders; however will we defend Iran? “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
We won't. LOL. "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." - Frederic Bastiat
Off topic; I thought of making a thread but I'll simply post this here. The new code word is: White Nationalist(s) I heard it ten times on my twelve minute drive home this evening. In context, it was used to describe Trump supporters. Just so you know.
oh boy...
Scariest two works on the whole planet. Usually met with "...the next Holocaust!!!".

It really hit me tonight, while driving home. White Nationalists. It makes you white folks sound like Nazis or sumpin'.
#9. To: Fred Mertz (#8)
Sumpin' anyway. I find whites generally to be more calm and mellow, more relaxed, less inclined to chimp-out on a moment's notice. They're more likely to go to productive work everyday and not count on .gov benefits to live their lives. They seem to have pride in their homes, their neighborhoods, and want them to be clean, well-kempt, and nice looking. That's just the start of what could be an endless essay; but yes, White Nationalist could appy to us.

Two of Trump's children married Jews. He is not a "White Nationalist." If the US lets Israel attack Iran, that will launch WW III so defending Iran is pro-American and pro-life.

I think this is the show I listened to on the radio: www.npr.org/2015/09/03/43...candidate-in-donald-trump Don't crucify me for listening to NPR.

No cross for you; the sign of an open, truth-seeking mind is that it will listen to any and all opinions. We salute and thank you for this.

Right. His supporters are, if you believe that. That is the current meme. Cracker Two of Trump's children married Jews. He is not a "White Nationalist."

The time is coming when whites in this country will be treated like those from Angola, Zimbabwe, or South Africa. Stripped of everything and the spoils wasted. When it's over we'll know who the master race is. (Hint it ain't black)
