    More lies from the White House? Gee whiz. There's a shocker. Iran: White House Lying About Details of Nuke Deal Iranian officials say White House fact sheet is ‘invalid’ BY: Adam Kredo November 26, 2013 4:25 pm Iranian officials say that the White House is misleading the public about the details of an interim nuclear agreement reached over the weekend in Geneva. Iran and Western nations including the United States came to an agreement on the framework for an interim deal late Saturday night in Geneva. The deal has yet to be implemented The White House released a multi-page fact sheet containing details of the draft agreement shortly after the deal was announced. However, Iranian foreign ministry official on Tuesday rejected the White House’s version of the deal as “invalid” and accused Washington of releasing a factually inaccurate primer that misleads the American public. “What has been released by the website of the White House as a fact sheet is a one-sided interpretation of the agreed text in Geneva and some of the explanations and words in the sheet contradict the text of the Joint Plan of Action, and this fact sheet has unfortunately been translated and released in the name of the Geneva agreement by certain media, which is not true,” Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham told the Iranian press on Tuesday. Afkham and officials said that the White House has “modified” key details of the deal and released their own version of the agreement. Iran’s right to enrich uranium, the key component in a nuclear weapon, is fully recognized under the draft released by Tehran. “This comprehensive solution would enable Iran to fully enjoy its right to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes under the relevant articles of the NPT in conformity with its obligations therein,” the agreement reads, according to a copy released to Iranian state-run media. “This comprehensive solution would involve a mutually defined enrichment programme with practical limits and transparency measures to ensure the peaceful nature of the programme,” the Iranian draft reads. “This comprehensive solution would constitute an integrated whole where nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.” Iran’s objection to the deal raises new concerns about final stage talks meant to ensure that the deal is implemented in the next few weeks. The White House confirmed to the Washington Free Beacon on Monday that the final details of the plan have yet to be worked out, meaning that Iran is not yet beholden to a six month freeze its nuclear activities. “Technical details to implement the Joint Plan of Action must be finalized before the terms of the Plan begin,” a senior administration official told the Free Beacon. “The P5+1 and Iran are working on what the timeframe is.” The White House could not provide additional details on the timeframe when approached by the Free Beacon on Tuesday. As the details are finalized, Iran will have the ability to continue its most controversial enrichment program. This drew criticism from proponents of tough nuclear restrictions. “The six month clock should have started early Sunday morning,” said former Ambassador Mark Wallace, the CEO of United Against a Nuclear Iran (UANI). “If this is a serious agreement, the P5+1 must ensure that these negotiations do not become a tool for Iran to further increase its enrichment abilities.” Christians United for Israel (CUFI) Executive Director David Brog said he fears that the White House may have been “played by the Iranians.” “This may prove to be yet another worrisome sign that the Obama Administration was played by the Iranians,” Brog told the Free Beacon in a statement. “Their concessions were either illusory or meaningless, while ours will resuscitate the Iranian economy.” The White House said in its fact sheet on the deal that it could release up to $7 billion dollars to Iran during the first phase of the agreement. The United States additionally agreed to suspend “certain sanctions on gold and precious metals, Iran’s auto sector, and Iran’s petrochemical exports, potentially providing Iran approximately $1.5 billion in revenue,” according to the now disputed fact sheet. Iran could earn another $4.2 billion in oil revenue under the deal. Another “$400 million in governmental tuition assistance” could also be “transferred from restricted Iranian funds directly to recognized educational institutions in third countries to defray the tuition costs of Iranian students,” according to the White House. While Iranian foreign ministry officials did not specify their precise disagreements with the White House, they insisted that “the Iranian delegation was much rigid and laid much emphasis on the need for this accuracy.”

    The Prez is grasping at straws, trying to do anything he can to gain some credibility. The thing is, the guy has no clue what credibility is.

    Bow lesson learned...

    Looks like that bow bit you . I bought a PSE G-Force years ago. That bow didn't fit me, and beat me up, just like your arm. I got rid of that bow after 1 season.
  6. Happy birthday Tony. Hope your health is good, and your day is great. Many happy returns.

    Divorce Agreement

    Nice. I wish I could have given that agreement to my ex wife, instead of the one I got.

    Stupid is as stupid does

    I would've poked that elk right in the eyeball. DOINK! I have seen some real stupid people in Yellowstone National Park. Yep, tell the Tour busloads of Chinese people, not to step inside the comfort zone of a 2000 pound Bison. But then again, I was chasing Bison off the front lawn at the ranch. Momma Buffalo with the calf was about 2 heartbeats away from running me over.

    What do you guys think about scent control

    I used to use scent blocker spray, but not anymore. Unless your entire body is encapsulated in something, you are going to produce odors. Guns and bows smell also. I just keep the breeze in my favor, and use a little plastic snuffer bottle of baby powder to check the wind.

    Best Arrows?

    Sounds like we shoot the same setup. I also use the 3-60/340, at 29.5" draw, with the 100 grain, 3 blade thunderhead. It's great arrow, and I have no real reason to change, other than sometimes a guy just needs to buy new stuff

    Nice. I will have to stop by Ross Outdoors someday when I get up to Phoenix. I just bought a new PSE Brute X last Christmas, or I would be mighty tempted to check out the new PSE lineup.

    Women Kills Lion, People Want to Kill Her

    ‘Hardcore huntress’ Melissa Bachman faces massive backlash after lion slaying 11/16/13 | by Brent McCluskey 52 205 “Hardcore huntress” Melissa Bachman received major flack after slaying this male lion in South Africa. Winchester Deadly Passion star and “hardcore huntress” Melissa Bachman has sparked public outcry after she shot and killed a lion in South Africa. Bachman posted the photo of her posing with the slain lion on Twitter and Facebook and within hours the massive backlash began. One Cape Town resident started a petition in an effort to ban the huntress from ever returning to South Africa. Others, like comedian Ricky Gervais, took to Twitter to publicly bash Bachman. But according to Lourens Mostert, a manger from the conservancy where the lion was shot, Bachman’s hunt was completely legal, the Daily Mail reports. Though Bachman has hunted a great many other animals from different geographical locations and with a wide range of weaponry, this one in particular seemed to set the world on fire. Elan Burman, founder of the nearly 9,000 strong petition against Bachman, called the huntress “disgusting” and “vile” and baulked at her extensive trophy collection. “She is an absolute contradiction to the culture of conservation this country prides itself on,” Burman wrote in his petition. “Her latest Facebook post features her with a lion she has just executed and murdered in our country.” This isn’t the first time the female hunter has come under fire for hunting exotic animals. Bachman was scheduled to appear on National Geographic’s Ultimate Survivor Alaska last year but after a separate petition labeling her as a “contracted trophy killer” garnered over 13,000 signatures in less the a day, she was subsequently dropped from the television show. Though many have disagreed with Bachman’s hunting, she not only has a legal right to do it, but according to Mostert, she’s also backed by the government. “If it isn’t right to hunt these lions, why does our government legally give us permission?” Mostert said. “This is not the only lion that has been hunted in South Africa this year.”

    Women Kills Lion, People Want to Kill Her

    Even thought the comments on facebook are typical of the anti hunting morons, you set yourself up for that if your facebook page is open to the general public. The Lion was shot in South Africa, was probably raised in a pen, and hunted behind a "High fence enclosure".

    News on Leaving trailers

    Is the NFS going to sit on your campsite for 72 hours, to determine if they consider it abandoned? What if they drive by at the end of the third day, and don't see anyone, even if you were at your camp earlier in the 72 hour time period? Sound like NFS could be setting themselves up for potential lawsuits.

    News on Leaving trailers

    A powerplay by the Liberal controlled NFS. They simply don't want us "IN OUR FOREST" that the taxpayers contribute to. What if you are in the backcountry, doing a spike camp for a few days, and come back to find your trailer gone? Simply B.S

    This isn't the first time Short Dong Kim, has executed people. He executed his ex girlfriend and others, as he accused her of being involved in some type of Pornography ring. If Obama had his way, we would be under a communist dictatorship.

    Paisley and Underwood Obamacare

    I like when celeb's go against the grain. Back in the day, "The Good ole Boy" country singers would stand up for America. Now country music is full of nothing but Dime store cowboys, and pretty girls with good voices, that simply look good in a Cowboy hat. Just like in Hollywood, you have to a liberal to be part of the club, or commit career suicide......unless you are Clint Eastwood.
