A president desperate to change the subject and a secretary of state desperate to make a name for himself are reportedly on the verge of an “interim” nuclear agreement with Iran. France called it a “sucker’s deal.” France was being charitable.
The only reason Iran has come to the table after a decade of contemptuous stonewalling is that economic sanctions have cut so deeply — Iran’s currency has collapsed, inflation is rampant — that the regime fears a threat to its very survival.
Nothing else could move it to negotiate. Regime survival is the only thing the mullahs value above nuclear weapons. And yet precisely at the point of maximum leverage, President Obama is offering relief in a deal that is absurdly asymmetric: The West would weaken sanctions in exchange for cosmetic changes that do absolutely nothing to weaken Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
Don’t worry, we are assured. This is only an interim six-month agreement to “build confidence” until we reach a final one. But this makes no sense. If at this point of maximum economic pressure we can’t get Iran to accept a final deal that shuts down its nuclear program, how in God’s name do we expect to get such a deal when we have radically reduced that pressure?
A bizarre negotiating tactic. And the content of the deal is even worse. It’s a rescue package for the mullahs.

We’re all screwed. Details at 11.
Conservative commentators need to come right out and say the obvious -- Obama sided with Iran, against Israel, in an effort to provide a nuclear weapon to Islamic fundamentalists. That's what Obama wanted. That's what Obama got.
People who have their eyes open should be able to see this.
And commentators who say, "tsk tsk, this is a sucker's deal" and COMPLETELY missing the point. The deal was masterfully put together. Give Obama credit: he pulled off a coup (in several ways).
Where's Putin on this?
One of these days I hope to have an American President who is on the side of America.
This needs Congressional approval. It amounts to a Treaty.
No, it is the deliberate, intentional act of a ignotant, arrogant, treasonous POS. All one had to do is view who is hailing this latest undermining of our country to confirm that it is intended to assist our enemies. SOP for this POS and his demonic minions...
I hereby apologize to Israel, on behalf of all REAL Americans. Many Americans suspect President Muhummad Al-Obama is a Kenyan, but few know Valerie Jarret, who secretly negotiated this “deal”, is Iranian. PERSIAN. Check Wikipedia or Google it.
The House controls spending...supposedly.
Now that picture is SPOT ON!
I don’t always agree with the good doctor, and I still have reservations about him based on his past. But, I don’t think he’s too far from the mark on this one.
Seems to me that Zero and the 0bamunists (J Effin Kerry, included) are sacrificing US Security in the name of placating the mad mullahs of Iran.
The Iranian economy is in tatters. Leaving things alone could well have prompted the regime change (by the Iranian people) so critical to the long term stability in that region and the regions to be within the target zone of the Iranians as they improve delivery systems.
Not sure that I would expect anything else from this closet muslim in the white hut.
I will side with the muslims...........

When France calls you a sucker ... nuff said.
