Nuke Deal With Iran
 

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/...y.html?hpid=z1

I wonder how they're going to enforce this one.

Beats me.

All I know for sure is that the Right Wingers will spin it as a capitulation on the part of Obama.

What was suppose to happen, another war? Bring them back into the world of tangled economics and spoil the citizens with Western benefits. The ruling class will lose influence quickly.

Sum?

Another bit of stellar international diplomacy on the part of this administration.

In America, we prefer our idiot politicians to be grinning idiots.

Chas

What did I tell you?

So France finally agreed? They were pissed at the first possible treaty.

That's an awesome tag line.

And just think, if we had elected Willard we already would have invaded Syria and Iran both and wouldn't have any of these problems.

Yup. In addition to all the negativity from the righties we have them screeching out their one note tune that this is all meant to distract from Obamacare and Benghazi. Effin' idjits couldn't walk and chew gum unless Doucie at Faux told them they could... :p

A sample of the rightwingnuttery's responses to the news.

"Republicans mindlessly oppose Iran nuclear deal"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinio...7cc_story.html

Should have insisted that they buy their Nuclear plants from Canada then there would be no need for enriching uranium.

I'm curious why this is would be regarded as a stellar bit of diplomacy. I've honestly not made up my mind about it.

However, it does represent a massive shift in US foreign policy in the region. While I certainly understand the potential value of "engagement", I also see Iran potentially seeing this as a "win" in the use of the type of nuclear blackmail that North Korea is infamous for. Also, in terms of negotiating approach and strategy, I"m wondering why some of our allies had to learn about the deal in the press.

"Grinning idiots" is good, "smilin' bastards" is better.

That's what Pop used to call them.

...and the latest from Breitbart's wingnut talking points for dummies. They are bellowing "Worse than MUNICH!!" once again.:rolleyes:

"President Obama’s cowardly deal with the Iranian regime – a regime dedicated to the destruction of Israel, pursuing nuclear weapons in violation of multiple United Nations resolutions, and the persecution of Christians – marks the most ignominious moment in western foreign policy in decades. The easy comparison is to British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler in Munich in 1938, when he signed allowed Hitler to consolidate his gains in the Sudetenland on the bare promise of no further aggression in Europe." http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2...se-than-Munich

I'm with you, I'm not sure whether this is a good idea or not.

It's probably inconsequential. Iran is going to get nukes sooner or later, whether anyone likes it or not.

Chas

So they're saying there was something bad about Munich? I though their guy came out on top. :confused:

yeah Obie's skin tone resembles Kenya more than his mom's home state of Kansas...so naturally he is another Chamberlain giving it up to a dictator.

What part of Afghanistan or Iraq did we say it was ok for Iran to invade and subjugate? When does the Anschluss start?

Republicans are becoming like Pat Robertson....you just cannot take anything that comes out of their collective mouths seriously anymore. Pat Robertson would ask for donations at least he does not shut down the government.

I mean does anyone here actually listen to Ann Coulter?

I figure if you can piss of Netanyahu and the Saudis in one fell swoop, you're probably doing something right.

Of course we need to go and find a new Shah to put on their throne again.

And I've found just the man.

Great post! :)

Nice to see a little common sense settling in on the diplomatic front. The status quo of dealing with Iran for the last 35 years ain't worked that well.

Well if that's the case, please allow me to be the first to say...

Carter's fault!!!

Chas

In one sense, it has. It certainly put a crimp in Iran's ability to export its own brand of theocracy. However, that was never going to last forever, and hasn't worked at all in the last 10 years.

I did notice, however, that it didn't take long after the agreement was reached for Iran to start poking the West in the eye. :rolleyes: Looks like they've learned quite a bit from their friends in North Korea.

I thought it was the Repubs hero president, Eisenhower who had the Shah installed on the Peacock throne after greenlighting the assassination of their elected leader. :confused:

And it was working like a pup a sucking until the peanut farmer dropped support and let him fall.

So there!!!

Chas

What really pissed off the locals in Iran is when the peanut farmer gave the Shah clearance to enter the US for medical treatment. Following the Iranian revolution, relations with Iran were actually starting to move in a positive direction over the course of early to mid 1979 - stable, if not reciprocally beneficial. Then, when Carter announced the Shah would be welcome in the US, that's when all hell broke loose in Tehran.

See...Carter's fault!!!

Chas

No it wasn't. No level of support could have saved that dynasty, except on the Assad model....

Eisenhower would be thrown out of today's Republican Party as a RINO.

Unfortunately the minority party here and Bebe Netanyahu can only see this as capitulation. It must be something in their tea.:rolleyes:
