Sir, I'm sorry we been lied to by this administration more than the Bush administration. When Hillary takes office it'll even be worse. You cannot believe nothing these people say. These are not facts. You know they're lying when their mouth is moving I'm sorry I don't mean to sound this way and before you all go off on me I am retired I've earned my right to freedom of speech. However if you must you have my permission to delete this if you feel it offensive. May you all have a good day

This is another bad deal with people you simply cannot trust to keep their word. I appreciate the value in trying to negotiate a deal to avoid a nuclear Iran or forcing our hand (and others) to stop them.

This is kicking the can down the road, nothing more. This administration is giving them a path to the weapon. Here is a line from the official state dept link.

"Iran’s breakout timeline – the time that it would take for Iran to acquire enough fissile material for one weapon – is currently assessed to be 2 to 3 months. That timeline will be extended to at least one year, for a duration of at least ten years, under this framework".

Does anyone really believe Iran will move out to 10 years on developing enough material for a weapon? They already have intermediate delivery methods/short range missiles. How confident are we that we know about everything they actually have?

All of these posts seem to fail to realize that we are not talking about a deal between two countries, it is not our deal with Iran... Unless my math skills have failed the P5+1 indicates 6 countries, only 1/6 of which is the US, treating with Iran. Our internal politicians can posture and spout rhetoric all they want, but they are most likely not going to be able to block a multinational deal from happening.

This is us choosing the carrot over the stick, which usually (not always) leads to better results. It allows the US to gain more popular support from the general Iranian population which may long term start a regime change for the betterment of all. If nothing else, as soon as they go back on their word, we can have a miltiary solution on standby, because most likely, nothing in the final deal will minimize military presence in the Gulf.

What do you make of this? It's madness, if this administration is allowed to continue on this path the whole world will soon pay a terrible price.

The U.S. concedes far too much in this deal:
