It makes perfect sense.

I’m going to need some time to adjust to the reality that ObamaCare won’t be the biggest pile of s**t in O’s legacy.
Remember those whispers we heard last month about secret side deals between the UN and Iran regarding nuclear inspections? Turns out they’re secret for a very good reason.
[T]he agreement [between the UN and Iran] diverges from normal inspection procedures between the IAEA and a member country by essentially ceding the agency’s investigative authority to Iran. It allows Tehran to employ its own experts and equipment [at Parchin] in the search for evidence for activities that it has consistently denied — trying to develop nuclear weapons…
The document suggests that instead of carrying out their own probe, IAEA staff will be reduced to monitoring Iranian personnel as these inspect the Parchin site.
Iran will provide agency experts with photos and videos of locations the IAEA says are linked to the alleged weapons work, “taking into account military concerns.”That wording suggests that — beyond being barred from physically visiting the site — the agency won’t even get photo or video information from areas Iran says are off-limits because they have military significance.
IAEA experts would normally take environmental samples for evidence of any weapons development work, but the agreement stipulates that Iranian technicians will do the sampling.
The sampling is also limited to only seven samples inside the building where the experiments allegedly took place. Additional ones will be allowed only outside of the Parchin site, in an area still to be determined.
So that’s why the White House’s agreement with Iran was conspicuously silent about Parchin. Turns out there was a complete cave to Iran on that already in the works courtesy of Iran’s side deal with the UN. If you’re wondering how often a country suspected of covertly working on a bomb is allowed to report on its facilities, without the IAEA conducting its own inspections, former UN inspector OIli Heinonen told the AP he’d never heard of such a thing in all his time at the agency. This capitulation, essentially putting Iran on the honor system, is totally unprecedented. Heinonen, incidentally, is also the guy who raised alarms last month when it came out that Iran’s deal with the U.S. would give them 24 days potentially to clean up a site where secret nuclear work is suspected before the UN is allowed entry. That’s more than enough time to cover your tracks, said Heinonen, if the site is small, as is likely to be the case with Iran’s attempts at cheating. In other words, we have one of the world’s foremost experts on nuclear weapons programs telling western media that the enforcement provisions of the deal are a sham.
And Congress knows all about this — I think. Remember this clip from Kerry’s testimony before the Senate last month? Jim Risch mentioned at one point in questioning Kerry that he couldn’t believe the UN would be forced to rely on soil samples provided by Iran instead of gathering their own samples to test for traces of uranium. Bob Menendez was taken aback by that; could that possibly be true, he asked? At that point, Kerry told Menendez that he couldn’t talk about it publicly but that his questions would be answered in a classified briefing. Bob Corker then chimed in to say that he’d already had the briefing and that Kerry was right that it would answer Menendez’s question. And now here’s the AP confirming that not only will the UN have to make do with samples provided by the accused cheaters themselves, but it’ll have to submit to Iran’s authority over various other aspects of inspections. Which raises the question: Why is this a secret? I could understand keeping it under wraps if the secret side deal amounted to a huge capitulation by Iran; in that case, you’d want to keep it out of the media so that Iran’s hardest fanatics don’t revolt against the deal as a national humiliation. But in reality, the side deal is a huge capitulation to Iran. What reason is there to keep it classified except to spare Obama and his European partners some enormous political difficulty in selling this deal to the suckers in their electorates?
The only non-political explanation I can come up with is that the west didn’t want other countries to know that Iran got such a sweetheart deal or else other rogue regimes with their eyes on nuclear weapons will demand the same sham inspection policy. That’s the state of Smart Power circa 2015: Keep the current capitulations a secret to reduce the need for future capitulations. Exit quotation from Dan McLaughlin:
Watching the Iran deal & how it is being sold to Congress explains volumes about the level of cynicism & disillusionment that gave us Trump.

cue the “isn’t that special lady”
Did we get ANYTHING out of this deal or is this just President Jarrett helping her homeland?
He wants them to nuke us. and then israel. No other way to view it. He gets martial law and king for life - he wishes - he helps his muzzie brothers out, they can then deal with the litte satan.
This may be Obama’s play to take over the United Nations after he relinquishes power in America (assuming he actually does).
“Seems what we have here is a failure to communicate.” I think his majesty should be ejected from office for this one.
If this is true, why have more Senators not come out and blasted this huge cave? Where are they? Surely even the majority of dumblecrats will see this is sooo bad it cannot be allowed to become our policy.
Why don’t we cut the drama and just send them a couple nukes? Six of one half dozen of another...
Zerohissef and johneffin kerry. Traitorous bass turds.
You have to cut through the double-speak and the gobbledygook.
This agreement shelters Iran’s nuke program, and promises to defend it should anyone else attempt to interfere with it.
We are not stopping their nuke program, we are protecting it.
It makes perfect sense.
Isn't this kind of like letting people who are being tested for drugs bring in their own urine samples from home?
The next Shah of Iran?
IAEA = Iranian Atomic Energy Agency
........ Yes ...... But does Iran still have to notify itself 24 days in advance of an inspection under the nuclear deal?
Can I change my name to Iran and get a mortgage refinance from Obama, I am sure he would give me negative 10,000% interest rate on it....
I think your post sums it up. OPuppet and UN following orders of shadow president VJ.
I keep telling myself we will survive because we have the protection of our Constitution, and we work hard to put representatives in DC who will put the country first — and now look at where we are.
After 7 years of democrat and republican elites doing what’s best for themselves, the country is about done for.
Like letting the fox guard the hen house!!!!!!!!!!
These are not the isotopes we’re looking for.
My thought exactly.
My opinion on this: It isn’t just that Obama hates America/Americans. I believe the reason Iran is getting everything they want is because they have nuclear weapons NOW and the capability to hit us NOW. Its a cave or get nuked scenario.The only deal is probably hands off Washington DC.
I think this is also why Netanyahu is so apoplectic. He knows they have them too and cannot believe that we have caved into them vs taking them out.
Obama is a narcissistic ghoul. He wants to see the world burn. Especially us and Israel. And he’s doing everything he can to bring it to fruition. Whether it’s allowing terrorists in, setting the Middle East on fire, constantly giving weapons to our enemies in the Middle East like Isis. Now Iran has a nuke.
He’s going to make Hitler look like a choir boy before he’s through.
