N. Korea Transfers Missile Goods to Iran During Nuclear Talks

Intelligence suppressed by Obama administration

North Korea supplied several shipments of missile components to Iran during recent nuclear talks and the transfers appear to violate United Nations sanctions on both countries, according to U.S. intelligence officials.

Since September more than two shipments of missile parts have been monitored by U.S. intelligence agencies as they transited from North Korea to Iran, said officials familiar with intelligence reports who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Details of the arms shipments were included in President Obama’s daily intelligence briefings and officials suggested information about the transfers was kept secret from the United Nations, which is in charge of monitoring sanctions violations.

Critics of the U.S.-led nuclear framework agreement reached in Switzerland earlier this month have said one major deficiency of the accord is its failure to address Iran’s missile program, considered a key nuclear delivery system for the Islamist regime.

Everyone else knows this and tried to tell Osama, about their treachery. He will just sweep this fact under the rug along with all his other failures and blunders. Hell, this fool is probably going to get another of those useless "Peace Prizes" for again, doing nothing.

I don't believe that he is ignorant of their treachery. He has known just as he knew of this missile transfer. It doesn't matter to him. He wants his deal to go through. I'm just afraid of his reasoning for wanting it.
