• Hezbollah is believed to be providing weapons and training to anti-American Shiite m*****as
• An alleged Hezbollah drugs kingpin is based in Colombia and is accused of working with the Zetas cartel to smuggle cocaine into the US
• Proceeds from the operations were allegedly used to design new IEDs that k**led US troops in Iraq
• The nuclear deal agreed to scrap crippling economic sanctions on Iran in return for a promise from to Tehran to stop nuclear development.
• By putting themselves between the DEA and Hezbollah, the Obama administration helped the militant group grow into a global security threat that is suspected of designing IEDs used to k**l American troops, the report said.
• The undercover DEA investigation's leaders sought permission for a number of significant prosecutions, arrests and financial sanctions, but Justice and Treasury Department officials delayed after Obama was re-elected in 2012, Politico said.
• In some cases, they were hindered and some requests from the DEA's Counter facility in Chantilly, Virginia, were flatly rejected.
• This hampered Project Cassandra's efforts to bring the Hezbollah hierarchy to their knees.

'They serially ripped apart this entire effort that was very well supported and resourced, and it was done from the top down.'
He added that the closer Obama for to finalizing the Iran nuclear deal, the more difficult the DEA's job became.
The weapons agreement was announced in January 2016, which coincided with Project Cassandra officials being moved onto other assignments.

• This was followed by a warning to Lebanon from Israel's Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz, who said that if Hezbollah attacked Israel, the country would return the whole country 'back to the Stone Age'.
In his speech this week, t***slated by the Washington D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute, Hezbollah leader Nasrallah appeared to urge followers to carry out terror attacks in Jerusalem.
'It is time that everybody knows that America is not the sponsor of peace in Palestine and the region,' he said in the televised speech
'America is the sponsor of terrorism, of occupation, of Judaization, of deportation, of burning, of destruction and of civil strife.
'America created ISIS and the takfiri [apostate] groups.'

The real t***h about Obama and the Iran deal--By Zev Chafets
Published September 02, 2015 --Fox News
On Tuesday, two Democratic senators, Chris Coons of Delaware and Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, announced that they would v**e in favor of President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran. Wednesday Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski added her support.
These announcements are being greeted with excitement by the White House and its supporters. The president now has enough v**es from Senate Democrats to make his accord bulletproof in Congress.

• FILE - In this April 2, 2015 file photo, President Barack Obama speaks the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington about the breakthrough in the Iranian nuclear talks. Senate proponents of a bill empowering Congress to review and potentially reject any Iran nuclear deal must first win a battle with some colleagues determined to change the legislation in ways that could sink it. “Anybody who monkeys with this bill is going to run into a buzz saw,” Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina warned ahead of this week’s debate. Also trying to discourage any changes, Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey urged senators to stick with the plan as it emerged from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
• Obama's Iran policy is not a mere difference of opinion with a certain Israeli government. It upends American policy in the region by ushering a genocidal, anti-Jewish regime into the family of respectable nations.
• Despite what the president may believe, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not vehemently and vocally oppose this deal because he is a closet Republican, a glory seeker, a right-wing warmonger or simply a meanie. Netanyahu is truly and deeply convinced that this deal endangers Israeli national security. His concern doesn’t end with the signing of a bill in Washington.
• The Israeli PM has expressed his concerns ad nauseam (as far as Obama is concerned). He points out that the Iranian regime is explicitly pledged to destroy Israel. It supports Shi’ite Muslim terrorism around the world, including against Jewish civilian targets. The ayatollahs have their armed a proxy army, Hezbollah, with tens of thousands of missiles aimed at Israeli cities.
• Obama himself doesn’t deny any of this. He just doesn’t want it to spoil his diplomatic c**p. What the hell, he’ll be gone in two years.
• Most Democratic lawmakers do not plan to retire along with Obama in 2016. They will have to live with the consequences of their support, and they know it.
• In announcing his decision, Senator Casey underscored his “deep reservations” about Iran honoring the agreement. Almost all the Democratic ‘yes’ v**ers voice similar misgivings. Perhaps they regard these caveats as an insurance policy for the day when Middle East realities overtake the fantasy of Obama’s diplomacy and all hell breaks loose.
• If that happens, the excuse, “Hey, I said at the time that this was a bad idea” isn’t going to work. Unlike the invasion of Iraq, or almost any major American foreign policy initiative since World War II, there is no bipartisan support for the administration. The Republicans are v****g no. The Democratic Party’s public standing on foreign policy now rests in the hands of the Ayatollahs of Iran.
• Obama doesn’t have to worry about ree******n, but he has his historical reputation (not to mention his future opportunities) to consider.
• This week Obama is trying to repair the breach with American Jews who, despite the administration’s spin, are not happy with the president. To calm things down, the president granted an interview to the editor of The Forward, a friendly Jewish weekly. “It’s not that I’ve received v**es from the Jewish community,” he told the interviewer. “It’s that I have received ideas, values and support that helped shape me into the person I am.”
• Perhaps to illustrate his close ties to the community, he fondly recollected student days at Columbia when he would trek to an Upper West Side bakery for a poppy seed bagel with a schmear of cream cheese and maybe a piece of lox on the side.
• The president said that he is hurt by some Jews (those with the wrong ideas and values, presumably) who are now calling him an anti-Semite. “There’s not a smidgen of evidence for it other than the fact that there have been times when I have disagreed with a particular Israeli government’s position on a particular issue,” the president asserted.
• Personally, I don’t think Barack Obama h**es Jews. I think he admires the wrong ones (and is admired by them in return, especially those who work for him). But his Iran policy not a mere difference of opinion with a certain Israeli government. It upends American policy in the region by ushering a genocidal, anti-Jewish regime into the family of respectable nations.
• Obama’s legalistic defense (“not a smidgen of evidence”) is actually self-incriminating. It points to the fact that, wh**ever his intentions and personal feelings, he is the first American president in history whose behavior in office has obliged him to declare publicly: “I am not an anti-Semite.”
• Congress v**es on the Iran deal this month. It is an accord Israel will not accept, Iran will not honor and the United States—at least under this administration—will not enforce.
• Signing it is not the end of anything. It is the first day of what comes next.
