Under the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, $150 billion would go to a single regime that has been a state sponsor of terrorism for the entire 36 years of its existence. It's all good. crazy

At some point we should at least try to bury the hatchet.

The Iranians would be hardly a threat to us should we actually need to take military action.


All true.

Say What? Didn't Bush get a lifetime of chit for going after Iraq because of failed nuclear plant inspections? Worst political decision in U.S. history. Don't repeat history. Be patient, what could possibly go wrong? We got this.

Really, you read that in the weekly reader?

How many puppets did the Americans install? Were the Brittish involved at all in the 40 years prior? How about the clerics ? They opposed the nationalization of the oil companies and supported the Brittish and American plan to coup before they opposed it. Why? Because the shah ended up marginalizing them in favor of a more liberal society. Who do you think pushed the Shah to do that? All the engineers, Drs etc educated in Britain and the U.S. ? The educated class wanted to imitate the west. The shah imposed their will. They would still do it today if the clerics were removed.

John Kerry is the worst negotiator on the face of the earth . His policies and decisions are some of the worst ever concocted. However he got this one right ( my money is that he stole the idea from someone else) The clerics will not capitulate so you are left with starting another war or buying some time to see if a more moderate element can surface. It may very well lead to war down the road who knows. In the meantime I doubt they are suicidal so let's see what happens.

An interesting element is there appears to be a defense of Iran clause. If Iran is unilaterally attacked the signators appear to be obligated to defends Iran is lieu of them developing the bomb. Most likely designed to stop Israel from taking matters into their own hands and kick starting WWIII. That is the most interesting twist and you now have to trust both Israel and Iran to act in the worlds best interest. Stock up on the hash oil and gold.

Head of the DNC was asked by Chris Mathews what is the difference between a socialist and a democrat. She failed at providing an answer.
