President Obama announced a “historic” agreement with Iran on Tuesday to end decades of conflict over its nuclear ambitions.
Unfortunately, the price tag for this slice of history is the craven capitulation on what were once American red lines.
The deal “makes our country and the world safer and more secure,” Obama declared.
Under a compromise worked out by Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Congress now has 60 days to review the deal. The irony is that congressional critics might base their opposition on the red lines once drawn by Secretary of State John Kerry and President Obama themselves.
In 2013, Kerry declared of the Iranians, “There is no right to enrich.” Two years later? The final agreement allows Iran to keep 5,000 centrifuges, 2,000 more than Pakistan had when it secretly built a nuclear arsenal.
Nor will Iran be limited to current technology; Kerry has ceded Iran’s right to experiment with new-generation centrifuges exponentially more powerful than Iran has now.
But centrifuges are only one part of Iran’s illicit program. In 2013, Kerry told Congress the “whole point of the [sanctions] regime” was to force Iran to “dismantle its nuclear program.” But the deal to which Kerry agreed lets Iran keep everything in place.
This includes Fordo, the once-covert nuclear site Iran built under a mountain.
“They don’t need to have an underground, fortified facility like Fordo in order to have a peaceful nuclear program,” Obama said in 2013. Congress will likely ask what changed, since this deal allows Iran to keep Fordo.
It gets worse.

There never were any “red lines”. The end result was known the day Obama took office. The rest was all show.
Hitler and the NAZIs killed one Jew and dissident at a time.
America under the Moslem-alQaeda Tyrant and the Uniparty
already kills thousands, and will kill millions,
of innocent Christians and Jews at a time.
This genocidal spree, led by America, cannot end well.

For those with eyes to see—this has been INEVITABLE from the very beginning.
What? You expected different from an Afro-Asian Communist?
(Yes, he is.)
Money changed hands, for sure.
Iran will get nuclear weapons on Obama’s successor’s watch. His finances need to be watched closely after he leaves office and IF he should become enriched by Iranian interests (The Obama Foundation???) he should be tried for treason...
Barack Chamberlain.
One, bammy is a Muslim and wants to see Islamic states succeed. If he is not actually a practicing Muslim he is at the very least extremely sympathetic to Muslims and wants to see Muslim states and "leadership" succeed. Therefore, they were never really going to stop Iran. Maybe delay some components of Iran's plans while actually helping others.
Two, bammy is staring down the barrel at the end of his reign of terror and he's thinking about "legacy" and what he'll be remembered for. Resurgent fighting in Iraq? More deaths in Afghanistan on his watch than actually during the war? The big lie that is obamacare? Mind-boggling debt? He needs something, even if only symbolic, that he can point to other than some rainbow colored sh...er "stuff." Something that'll give him some kind of credibility on the talk circuit (he's has no-doubt taken note of Bill and Hillary's millions gleaned from that). Therefore I am 100% certain, bet you anything you care to name, the "negotiating" team had absolute orders: broker an agreement. In other words, walking away with no deal and continued sanctions was never, ever going to be an option. The Iranians aren't fools. The could guess those were the instructions. I'm sure as "negotiations" got under way it was obvious to them they were right. Frankly, I'm a little surprised they didn't push for even more. Though what they got, knowing their opponents had to, HAD TO, reach some kind of deal (even extending talks several times) was pretty sweet for them.

What still amazes me, is how many times in the last 4 months, they claimed they needed “more time”. Now I see they were ALWAYS going to give the Iranians everything they wanted, it was all just a big Head-Fake. We have been 100% deceived by our elected (+ non-elected) officials.
