    We have a deal!
    Well folk, after many long months Iran has agreed to a deal to curb its nuclear bomb program.

    Iran nuclear deal: Fine 'new chapter' or 'historic mistake'?

    Something tells me that was the easy part and the hollering is going to get LOUD!

    Does anyone actually believe Iran will do ANYTHING they promised? I don't.

    What you have is an end to external hot air and the beginning of internal hot air. There is a lot of smoke and mirrors here

    Not mentioned in the deal is that the Iranians are still holding at least 4 US hostages . Not mentioned is the Iranians being the lead state sponsor of terrorism. Not mentioned is the no accounting for the lion's share of US deaths in Iraq directly caused by Iranian providing road side explosive devises to our enemies in Iraq. Not mentioned is that there is very little inspection power to verify compliance.

    You want hollering ? Ok I'm hollering at the Repubic leadership in Congress that surrendered their constitutional authority under Article II, Section 2, Clause 2. That's why the emperor can boast about a veto if the Senate votes the 'treaty 'down.

    Hello:

    Couple things... This ISN'T about hostages, and it ISN'T about believing the Iranians.

    Why would he make a deal while Americans are being held hostage ? Why would he make a deal if there is not a legitimate verification process ? Why would he make a deal when the political leaders of the country chant in the halls of Parliament "DEATH TO AMERICA " !

    Meanwhile a blast from the past ......the last time we made an agreement with a rogue nation about their nuclear program .

    Well that op-ed cartoon is certainly based on ignorance, right from its first sentence.

    Iran certainly got everything they wanted in the deal . Are you saying the emperor didn't ? The emperor's flunkies are all over the news saying this was the best deal they could get and the alternative was war . They say this eases tensions in the region. But the only tensions eased are the ones that the Iranians created with their violence and their threats of violence. The Iranians have backed up their threat of violence and their will to use it . But not using violence against the 12ers and their terrorist regime is the one red line the emperor stands by.

    oh yeah i forgot . The emperor gets his "legacy " ;although it is still far from clear why he wants a rapprochement with Iran .I still predict he will try some Nixonian visit to Tehran before the end of the term so he can bow to Grand Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei in person.

    at least you have some rational actors in your foreign affairs .

    Quote:

    Foreign Affairs Minister Rob Nicholson issued a statement saying that Canada “will continue to judge Iran by its actions not its words,” and that the government in Ottawa will examine the agreement carefully before making any policy changes.
    “We will examine this deal further before taking any specific Canadian action,” Mr. Nicholson said in the statement.
    That means Canada is refusing to follow the course set by its major allies............................................ ..............
    Mr. Harper’s government has also been sharply critical of Iran, and it suspended diplomatic ties, closing the embassy in Tehran in 2012.

    I think ex is right another war led recovery has been averted, that isn't good for profits but let's get down to it, there is a time for everything and this is an idea whose time has come, decades of animosity have led nowhere or more accurately to proxy war until it is so confused the principle players find themselves fighting on the same side. It is time to stop playing the saudi game

    Well the Prez laid it out at a press conference, answered every question, and then had his own answers to even more questions the press didn't ask.

    Meanwhile Netty, with 247 nukes of his own, and Big Brother USA at his side, still cries foul. Europe, Russia, China and the UN all agree. DONE DEAL!

    Some people are just noisy when they loose the argument, look he may be right, this maybe another Chamberlain moment, but realistically short of all out war, you couldn't stop them anyway, so this is something better than nothing

    Yup ,an Iranian nuke in the most volitile region of the world . Yup the end of any non-proliferation efforts worldwide . Yup ,a nuclear arms race in the Middle East . Yup ,the end of any US influence in one of the most important regions of the world .Yup ,throwing our most reliable ally in the region under the bus and aligning ourselves with a Persian empire that we help create . Yup throwing our soldiers under the bus who were killed ,wounded and maimed by Iranians and their surrogates going back 30 years .
    Yup leaving American hostages behind .
    The emperor is a schmuck !

    Nope ,he wants America out of the Middle East and he needs a hegemon to replace us .So he's inventing one. War is not avoided . He will continue to wage war behind the drones and make believe he ended war . He has just made the region less stable . Within a decade or 2 the Iranian nuke will be on ICBM warheads . The safeguards he outlined are a joke . For sanctions to return ,a committee that includes Iranian reps will have to approve them . For the Iranian efforts at stalling and digging in their heals ,they are being rewarded with $150 billion ;which if it were in proportion to the US economy would be an $8 trillion infusion into their economy . They won't be using that money to improve the lives of their citizens . What money doesn't line the pockets of the Mullah's will be used by them to continue to export their Iranian Revolution.

    Nope, actually it's the opposite.You're getting wrong information somewhere.

    Wrong again.

    Why is it one of the most important regions? I don't think so.

    Wrong again. It's an attempt at peace.
