A blast (pun *absolutely* intended) from the past.

The devil is not in the details. It’s in the entire conception of the Iran deal, animated by President Obama’s fantastical belief that he, uniquely, could achieve detente with a fanatical Islamist regime whose foundational purpose is to cleanse the Middle East of the poisonous corruption of American power and influence.
In pursuit of his desire to make the Islamic Republic into an accepted, normalized “successful regional power,” Obama decided to take over the nuclear negotiations. At the time, Tehran was reeling — the rial plunging, inflation skyrocketing, the economy contracting — under a regime of international sanctions painstakingly constructed over a decade.
Then, instead of welcoming Congress’ attempt to tighten sanctions to increase the pressure on the mullahs, Obama began the negotiations by loosening sanctions, injecting billions into the Iranian economy (which began growing again in 2014) and conceding in advance an Iranian right to enrich uranium.
It’s been downhill ever since. Desperate for a legacy deal, Obama has played the supplicant, abandoning every red line his administration had declared essential to any acceptable deal. . .

The Post is dissing Obama?! Interesting.
Maybe the Post should have thought of all this BEFORE they began to slobber over Obama years ago. If they are upset, look no further than the nearest mirror.
Zero will be remembered as the great American Traitor.

Worst agreement in U.S. Diplomatic history? Yes, although the Cuba fiasco is still unraveling. Will we give back Guantanamo so the Russian or Chinese have a base 90 miles off our coast? Just my thought but it’s in tune with the Obama world view.
If Jimmy Caerter can give back the Panama Canal, Barack Obama can certainly give back Guantanamo Bay.
Sometime between the 2016 election and the 2017 inauguration, the Castros are going to collect an upgrade for their chain of prisons.

My plan for Iran: Assassinate their leaders. If better ones don’t rise to take their place then rinse and repeat.
This is, predictably, what happens when you put an inexperienced idiot in charge of something complicated.
Rudy warned the country, that September nite back in 2008! The country didn’t listen.
Donald Trump, time to step up and make this your issue.
If there is such a thing as a “great” traitor he certainly is one. His treachery may wind up causing far more damage to not only America but the whole of the Earth than all other treachery that has preceded it in all of history.
“Great” in this instance simply means large, big or chief or magnified... It does mot mean ethically superior.
Try Biggest Traitor. Supreme Traitor. Most Devastating traitor. Most treacherous traitor.
History will have a clearer view of the devastation.
I am familiar with the meaning of great.
Oh I know that. I was just talking. Sorry if it was irritating.
But who will he blame? Who will be the R scapegoat when Iran gives THE bomb to a terrorist organization? The dems will not be blamed for any wrongdoing especially with respect to Iran. Nothing will be laid at his feet, nothing even is Tehran blasts one over the border to Isreal next year, while BO is still POTUS, who will he/they blame?
Iran IS a terrorist organization...it has been since Carter.
