Death to Israel Death to America so says the Iranian Leaders. That's been their stance for some time and it is not likely to ever change, nor is their sponsorship of terrorism. This new deal with Iran is not going to change anything. At some point down the road a major mid east conflict is inevitable irrespective of any present agreements. All past dealings with Iran have been for naught and produced nothing. And now Iran has a pocketful of cash to play with and support their nefarious causes. I can't support this new deal. Can you?

[h=1]Obama says only alternative to a nuclear deal with Iran is war[/h]By Greg Jaffe July 15

President Obama’s defense of the complex and painstakingly negotiated nuclear deal that his administration reached with Iran boiled down to a simple, if controversial, contention: The only real alternative to the deal was war.


Obama returned to that conclusion repeatedly Wednesday at a news conference that stretched for more than one hour.


“Without a deal,” he said in his opening statement, “we risk even more war in the Middle East.
........................................

Not a very good answer many say. Sounds like war now or later attitude. Maybe Congress will be able to take it apart and understand the effort and then explain it to the population of the world.

Iran started this mess in 1970's and held many of our government folks in jail for over a year. Now they threaten to punish the world with nuclear weapons.

Was it smart to make this paper for them to use to get their bank moneys back. What efforts are being offered for them to not keep on with their terror forces and the ISIS war they are supporting. How will the world know they are not making nuclear weapons. Lots for the Congress to read and discuss and understand so they can give Obama the proper response.
 

So long as "Death to all Infidels" seems to be the cornerstone of Islam, I wouldn't put much trust in anything that comes from the Middle East. Those nations are our "friends" only so long as it is to their advantage to be such.
 
It may be a good move, or may be a mistake, only time will tell.Being able to have a dialogue with a country is a better move than shutting them out usually though.
 
The details of the deal, as explained by Kerry, are very reassuring about the ability to control and minimize Iran's nuclear program and ambitions. The rhetoric of the leadership of Iran means nothing other than saving face as their younger generations want peace and, with the removal of sanctions, prosperity...
 
Yes, I agree, Oakapple and Ralphy, I don't see anyone talking about being their friend, they are an adversary, and no one wants an adversary to have a nuclear bomb. We need to realize that the other superpowers and the UN will honor this deal, and they could care less what the US Congress or Israel want, they are not controlled by either.President Obama and other world powers are trying to avoid bombing Iran and starting yet another war in the ME, Obama is trying to open the door to non-hostile (non-hostile doesn't necessarily mean friendly) with countries (Cuba, Iran) that we've had bad relationships with, same as Nixon did with China, same as Reagan did with Russia. IMHO, the naysayers on this deal are damaging the US's standing in the world, and the opposition to the Iran deal is just one more example of that damage.
 
I don't get the deal because it does nothing for the release of current hostages or compensate the hostages from 1979 who won a lawsuit only to be dismissed, a federal judge under GW took care of that. The 1980 release negotiations supposedly prevented lawsuits.

To me the whole "deal" with current Iran is that their leadership are disciples of the regime that took those hostages. They can't or won't make good on past misdeeds so in reality what should we expect with this current deal.
