It's another "let's make a deal, kick this down the road for some future administration to deal with and take it off the table event" This administration has little interest in or aptitude for foreign affairs and the Iranian problem distracts from the focus on domestic issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1174301114218706899.post-12431845056731297952013-12-10T13:47:41.202-05:002013-12-10T13:47:41.202-05:00Tom Jeanette

Project Manager at Douglas County Libraries<br /><br />Dave, with your keen insight into the schemes and motivations of the Iranian and American regimes, perhaps you can explain how opening the nuclear sites in Iran to multinational inspections will further their weapons program? We've long known where the labs are located and opening new sites (easily detected) will bring down the entire agreement and unify international sentiment against Iran, especially from Saudi Arabia, making it worse for Iran than if there had been no deal in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1174301114218706899.post-55694803617224598682013-12-10T13:47:20.743-05:002013-12-10T13:47:20.743-05:00Dave Shiffman

But the real leadership of Iran, (not the figurehead president) will not stop, or even slow their efforts to acquire a nuclear bomb and the means to deliver it world wide. The President desperately needs a distraction from Obamacare, and Secretary Kerry has the perfect combination of ignorance and arrogance to believe that he is doing something worthwhile. <br /><br />Even France - not known for its diplomatic perspicacity these days - instantly recognized how flawed and unrealistic this agreement is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1174301114218706899.post-83120981384716648652013-12-10T13:46:43.102-05:002013-12-10T13:46:43.102-05:00Tom Jeanette
