So, we’re being told that we can trust what those folks over in Iran tell us. I’m beginning to think not. NBC News<\/a>, in a link sent to us by Pinto Nag, they report that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told a crowd that the West “surrendered” to Iranian power in Geneva;<\/p>\n

Speaking to a crowd gathered in the oil-rich province of Khuzestan on Tuesday, Rouhani said: “Do you know what the Geneva agreement means? It means the big powers have surrendered before the great Iranian nation.”<\/p>\n

The remarks, which were filmed and reported by the state-run Islamic Republic of Iran News Network, were echoed on Rouhani\u2019s English-language Twitter feed.<\/p>\n

“Our relationship w\/ the world is based on Iranian nation’s interests. In #Geneva agreement world powers surrendered to Iranian nation’s will,” the Tweet said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, as it’s been said here countless times, any negotiation between anyone in that region and the West is perceived as a great victory by those goat herders. Meanwhile, the Washington Post<\/a> reports that the government media organ in Iran is reporting the totally legit news that the US is secretly run by Nazi Space Aliens;<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the hard-line semi-official Fars News dropped one of its biggest bombshells yet: The United States government has been secretly run by a “shadow government” of space aliens since 1945. Yes, space aliens. The alien government is based out of Nevada and had previously run Nazi Germany. It adds, for timeliness, that the controversial NSA programs are actually a tool for the aliens to hide their presence on Earth and their secret agenda for global domination. This is all asserted as incontrovertible fact with no caveats.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Um, where have we heard that before? Oh, yeah, those whackjobs at Veterans Today<\/a>, which coincidentally, gets much of it’s funding from PressTV, the Iran government’s news organization for the slick-looking website largely bereft of serious intellect.<\/p>\n

But, yeah, let’s lift sanctions against the mullahs, because they seem harmless and completely rational. And, everything this administration, generally, and John Kerry specifically, touch turns to gold, right? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
