'someone is lying' The Agreement with Iran
The 'Agreement' and reliable reporting.
For reliable reporting, asking pertinent questions, and making sensible analysis I would rely on Mark Steyne as in the header or
Daniel Pipes- www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2015/04/d... or
Andrew Bolt- http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andre...
Any reporter of the NYTimes, epitomized by Thomas Friedman, may safely be described as biased and grovelling on just about anything.
A few points-
OB didn't say the destruction of Israel would be 'a red line'.
There is the 'agreement' that Iran signed and described in a memo they have released, and there are OB versions, all different.
So letting Iran have nuclear weapons is in the US self interest in the same way as for North Korea! As yet there are no public statements from NK ideologues like the 'we love death as you love life' so the comparison is poor.
and 'One gets the feeling that when Obama sees Iran’s Supreme Leader leading crowds in chants of “Death to America!” it doesn’t strike him in quite the same way it strikes you and me.' You may say he does not see it, or maybe he agrees.
The motives of OB are clear, well put elsewhere on this site and are quite consistent with this 'Agreement'.

To digress- I have made no comment on dbh's - Source of Economics etc-
While his writing is correct, and logical of course (well nearly always) the style is hard to read, too dense perhaps and I am so exhausted after reading it there is no energy left to comment! It looks to me to be a contribution of importance so deserves some interpretation.
I recommend Orwell, Milton Friedman, Rand sometimes, Keynes never, as model writing stylists.
For those who are not master of language, writing can be clear, succinct, and fast,
but only two of those at a time.
There are some who I would advise, if i did, if you must say that, get it over quick.
The writing of many here, esp. dbh, would benefit from giving more time.
Read before hitting the Reply button- do I really want to say that? Ah, why not.
