The thing to ALSO realize here is that we could stop every last single thing that Obama is doing with Iran and prevent him from even agreeing to a single thing with Iran ... AND ... Iran would still do what it’s doing with impunity.

If Obama sat back and did nothing (with an agreement) Iran would still do what it’s doing. If Obama was MORE conservative than the conservatives on making a deal ... Iran would STILL do what it is doing.

IN OTHER WORDS ... no agreement or even the lack of an agreement will get Iran to do other than what it intends to do anyway!

That's why crippling sanctions seemed to be our best shot against their doing whatever they want to do with impunity. Obama is in essence, working against sanctions and getting nothing more (actually much less) than a totally-uncertain 10-year bomb reprieve, after which time it will be expected to have nuclear weapons. Wow, ten more years to let older, better educated Americans and more hard-line Israelis die off!

IOW, the agreement does little more than give Iran what it wants in place of sanctions. 1) rid economically crippling sanctions, 2) give them money, 3) rid them of yapping nations demanding accountability through IAEA, 4) Be able to blow us and the Israelis up in ten years.

Even though many in the US aren't fooled by an unratified treaty, Obama as president is charged with executing most of US foreign policy, so will be able to hold the terms in place during his term. How he hands out billions in apparent slush fund money not authorized by Congress is beyond me, but the House obviously chooses not to rein in such spending.

The Obama administration has thrown up its hands saying there's little they could do to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons, despite Tehran's assurances that their nuclear ambitions are entirely peaceful and for domestic power production.

The US and others could have stopped all centrifuges, taken all Iran's weapons grade materials, and ICBM tubes, gyros and engines and sold Iran at market prices all the power-plant-grade materials it needed. What they actually use in such venues, we would agree to replace. Boom! Their claims would be laid bare as if they weren't already. They're done. No nuclear weapons production agreed-to.
