Negotiations for an “interim” arrangement over Iran’s nuclear weapons program finally succeeded this past weekend, as Security Council foreign ministers (plus Germany) flew to Geneva to meet their Iranian counterpart. After raising expectations of a deal by first convening on November 8-10, it would have been beyond humiliating to gather again without result. So agreement was struck despite solemn incantations earlier that “no deal is better than a bad deal.”
This interim agreement is badly skewed from America’s perspective. Iran retains its full capacity to enrich uranium, thus abandoning a decade of Western insistence and Security Council resolutions that Iran stop all uranium-enrichment activities. Allowing Iran to continue enriching, and despite modest (indeed, utterly inadequate) measures to prevent it from increasing its enriched-uranium stockpiles and its overall nuclear infrastructure, lays the predicate for Iran fully enjoying its “right” to enrichment in any “final” agreement. Indeed, the interim agreement itself acknowledges that a “comprehensive solution” will “involve a mutually defined enrichment program.” This is not, as the Obama administration leaked before the deal became public, a “compromise” on Iran’s claimed “right” to enrichment. This is abject surrender by the United States.
In exchange for superficial concessions, Iran achieved three critical breakthroughs. First, it bought time to continue all aspects of its nuclear-weapons program the agreement does not cover (centrifuge manufacturing and testing; weaponization research and fabrication; and its entire ballistic missile program). Indeed, given that the interim agreement contemplates periodic renewals, Iran may have gained all of the time it needs to achieve weaponization not of simply a handful of nuclear weapons, but of dozens or more.

She was born in Iran, but looking at the lineage of her parents, saying she’s Persian is like saying Ted Cruz is a Canuck.
Nevertheless, I feel her loyalties, like those of Al-Obama, as suspect.
The world is prepared to blame Netanyahu for striking Iran and the chaos that follows. History will blame Obama.
Oh heavens yes. She’s a life long member of the Chicago mob.
Trained by the notoriously crooked Harold Washington early on.
We can attack her on a thousand fronts, but being born in Iran was incidental to the story in my view.
If John Bolton is genuinely upset about this deal with Iran, he should simply pretend Iran is Kosovo, pretend Israel is Serbia, and go find something else to do with his time.
“The world is prepared to blame Netanyahu for striking Iran and the chaos that follows. History will blame Obama.”
History will be written by the victors. Unfortunately we can’t be certain the lovers of liberty will win the war we are already fighting. A hallowed out USA alone, with Obama or Hillary at the helm, cannot defeat Russia, China, North Korea, and the Muslim world acting in unison. Europe has no army, even if they would come to our defense. Even worse, less than half of the American people care.
Actually she was born in Iran of American parents. She’s not a Persian or Iranian. This is not to say she isn’t pro-Iranian and anti-American.
(According to Wikipedia)
VJ is actually connected to Saudi Prince Alwaleed (of Murdoch’s Newscorp), via Khalid Almansour, her father-in-law Vernon Jarrett and Frank Marshall Davis.
I’ve never seen anyone make as serious connection from VJ to an Iranian patron.
I do feel she is a security risk, in ways other foreign-born, like Ted Cruz, are not.

The Jewish vote went overwhelmingly for Obama.
They can all kiss my ass now.
Maybe Iran will nuke Israel and we can get the inevitable over with.
BTTT
For a couple decades I’ve worn US flag shoulder patches and lapel pins. Just tell me when I should trade them for white ones? Maybe I need a French catalog to order from? Semper Fi
” . . and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.” Daniel 11:27
America is weak because of weak leadership.
Don’t forget John Bolton was filibustered by the Rats because he stood up for America and only got to serve as UN ambassador for a year and a half as a recess appointment.
Of course we know now the Rats have no problem with filibusters as long as they’re the only ones doing them!
Even after throwing Israel to the wolves, the Rats know they have the majority of American Jewish votes locked up. It’s really pathetic.
John Bolton ping, thanks yoe.
You’ve got it.
