Iran and world powers clinch historic nuclear deal

The U.N. Security Council on Monday unanimously endorsed the Iran nuclear deal

This pretty much unanimously endorses the idea that this is a terrible deal for the US.
 
well, like any other legislation, we should just pass it to see what is in it.

right?

How the Arab Street views the agreement, in one simple diagram

Refer to chart and try to follow along....lol

"Word on the Arab Street is that Barack Obama signed a nuclear deal with Iran so that he can extract concessions over Syria in return for Iran being allowed to control Iraq and for which it has to rein in the Houthis in Yemen to pacify the Saudis and simultaneously restrain Kurdish ambitions thus easing Turkey’s anxiety about Kurdish independence as an incentive for it to cooperate regionally allowing both Saudi Arabia and Turkey to come on board with Obama’s plan for Israel/Palestine which will also appease Egypt allowing it to play a bigger role in Libya to control the southern shores of the Mediterranean reducing migrant flows into Europe to ease the pressure on Greece and Italy for which Europe agrees to soften its stance against Russia allowing for a solution in Ukraine that allows NATO to maintain a presence in the East without threatening Russia which will be rewarded by removing the international sanctions against it allowing it to increase its trade with Europe."

Obama deal makes Congress completely superfluous


UN Security Council endorses Iran nuclear deal

The U.N. Security Council on Monday unanimously endorsed the Iran nuclear deal, over the objections of U.S. lawmakers who wanted the panel to wait until Congress formally reviews the landmark agreement.

Yep, the always scheming Obama regime presented the resolution prior to congress approval. It is now international law. What congress thinks is now irrelevant.

Even a dem senator urged Obama to wait...

The chairman of the Senate's foreign relations committee, Bob Corker, on Thursday wrote a letter to President Obama saying, "We urge you to postpone the vote at the United Nations until after Congress considers this agreement."

5,000 naked anti-gay protesters to greet Obama in Kenya

NAIROBI, Kenya, July 21 (UPI) -- An anti-gay political party in Kenya plans to protest against U.S. President Barack Obama by greeting him with 5,000 "totally naked" protesters for his "open and aggressive support for homosexuality."

The "main objective is for him to see and understand the difference between a man and woman"

Saudis Sign Nuclear Agreement With Russia


As prince visits Moscow, six deals signed between two sides including 'peaceful' nuclear technology, in signs of schism with US over Iran.

Amid speculation by experts that a nuclear deal with Shi'ite Iran might force its Sunni rival Saudi Arabia to buy a nuclear weapon, likely from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia on Thursday signed a nuclear agreement with Russia.

Defiant Ayatollah: Deal Changes Nothing

Iran's supreme leader says policy towards "arrogant US" will not change, days after landmark agreement.

665003303001_4361096767001_video-still-for-video-4361024448001.jpg


Speaking Saturday about the deal, the Islamic holy leader denied a wider shift in foreign policy. “We have repeatedly said we don’t negotiate with the U.S. on regional or international affairs; not even on bilateral issues. There are some exceptions like the nuclear program that we negotiated with the Americans to serve our interests,” Khamenei said.

“We will never stop supporting our friends in the region and the people of Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Bahrain and Lebanon. Even after this deal our policy towards the arrogant U.S. will not change.”

No comment from Obama the appeaser
 
"Clearly we need to be empathizing with Khamenei." - our retarded ******* president.
 
Don't worry obama is now demanding the release of the American hostages in Iran. Of course he is speaking to veterans so it sounds good at least. No idea why this was not included in the "deal" in the first place.
 
Truer words never spoken...

President Obama on Iran deal critics: They were wrong on Iraq, too
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/...s-iran-pact-critics-120413.html#ixzz3gZ2uhOoo

"We're hearing the echoes of some of the same policies and mindset that we've heard in the past," Obama said. His loudest critics, he added, are "the same folks who were so quick to go to war in Iraq and said it would take a few months."

The administration has presented the negotiations with Iran as a choice between peacefully preventing a nuclear Iran and going to war with the Islamic Republic, but Obama appeared to take the argument a step further to question the credibility of his opponents.

"I believe there'’s a smarter, more responsible way," Obama said.

"We've done the hard and patient work" of diplomacy, he added, "instead of chest-beating which rejects the idea of even talking to our adversaries."

-------------------------------------------------

...and, in the end, 56% of Americans support this deal, regardless of how boisterous & belligerent right-wingers choose to be.

Dumber words were never spoken. What does one have to do with the other? He's been wrong about almost everything he's done in the middle east. What happened to his "red line"? He said Assad had to go. What happened with the JV team? What about the great Arab Spring in Egypt? How about Benghazi? Seriously he is the last person anyone should believe about foreign policy.

Also 77% believe that sanctions should stay or be tougher. You going that route or you just want to use the part of the poll you like? 75% think the deal won't work. You of course won't mention those numbers. Just 35% are happy with the president and how he handled Iran. Strange you didn't mention those numbers either....

It would be racist to point that out.
 
What a surprise.
The White House refuses to disclose the complete details of the deal to congress.

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/421453/iran-deal-hidden-congress-Obama-admin-house-republican-

Big surprise from the most transparent WH ever.

Also, if the Iraqi war is the standard for which foreign policy is measured then why did he put Clinton as his Secretary of State? She voted for the war. The guy is a tool and can't do anything without trying to make a political point. He can't stand to be challenged on anything. He's a boy in a man's world. He's a weak to the point of indolence and childish to the point of never saying he's done anything wrong. It's always someone else's fault or he covers it up as if he didn't happen.

Garrett: Thank you Mr. President. As you well know there are still four Americans in Iran. Three held on trumped up charges according to your administration, one whereabouts unknown. Can you tell the country sir why you are content, with all the fanfare around this deal, to leave the conscious of this nation, the strength of this nation, unaccounted for in relation to these four Americans? And last week the Joint Chiefs of Staff said under no circumstances should there be any relief for Iran in terms of ballistic missiles or conventional weapons. It is perceived that was a last minute capitulation in these negotiations. Many in the Pentagon feel you've left the Joint Chiefs of Staff hung out to dry. Could you comment?

Obama: I gotta give you credit major for how you craft those questions. The notion that I am 'content,' as I celebrate with American citizens languishing in Iranian jails, Major, that's nonsense. And you should know better. I've met with the families of some of those folks. Nobody's content. And our diplomats and our teams are working diligently to try and get them out. Now, if the question is 'why we did not tie the [nuclear] negotiations to their release, think about the logic that that creates. Suddenly Iran realizes, 'you know what, maybe we can get additional concessions out of the Americans by holding these individuals.' It makes it much more difficult for us to walk away if Iran somehow thinks that a nuclear deal is dependent in some fashion on the nuclear deal and by the way if we had walked away from the nuclear deal we'd still be pushing them just as hard to get these folks out. That's why those issues are not connected, but we are working every single day to try and get them out and won't stop until they are out and rejoined with their families. With respect to the Chairman's testimony, to some degree I already answered this with Carol, we are not taking the pressure off Iran with respect to arms and with respect to ballistic missiles."
