Democratic presidential front runner Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday called the Iranian nuclear deal announced by the Obama administration an "important step" in curtailing the country's nuclear program but stressed that the agreement will have to be "enforced vigorously, relentlessly."

"This is a very important moment. The president called me late last night to tell me that agreement has been reached. I applaud him and both Secretary Kerry and Secretary Moniz for their extraordinary efforts in bringing about this conclusion," she told reporters after a meeting with the House Democratic caucus on Capitol Hill. "Based on what I know now, and I will be being briefed as soon as I finish addressing you, this is an important step in putting the lid on Iran’s nuclear program."

Clinton was on Capitol Hill Tuesday for a series of meetings with Democratic lawmakers, a gesture designed to strengthen Clinton's support among Hill Democrats, many of whom already support her candidacy....

Says the man who thought getting head in the Oval Office behind his wife, his daughter, and the nation’s back, was a great negotiating outcome.

King Obama trying to pass the dictatorship he has created to Hillary. If we aren’t careful it will happen. One thing we have to note is the communists liberals that post on FR. They will show themselves when our candidate is picked by the voters at the conclusion of the primaries. Those traitors will be mostly the same that shot Romney down when they had a choice between King Obama or Romney..

it’s an important step in getting a controversial issue that works against democrats out of the headlines safely before the 2016 election cranks up.

—...but stressed that the agreement will have to be “enforced vigorously, relentlessly.”—

And there’s their ‘out’ when all hell breaks loose.

“Those imbeciles at the Atomic Energy Commission, they should have been more vigorous; relentless! They ruined years of hard work by 0bama, Jarrett, and Kerry”.

Exactly. The Agreed Framework, under her husbands administration, was such a raging success.

If the Iranian programs are to be stopped, it up to those most affected. In truth, America is threatened but there is no Iranian direct action as in Israel and the Gulf.

the shadow alliance between Israel and the Gulf Arabs and Egypt and Jordan mus step up action to disable the Iranian nuclear program

President William J. Clinton, October 18, 1994:

“The United States has been concerned about the possibility that North Korea was developing nuclear weapons since the 1980’s. Three administrations have tried to bring this nuclear program under international control. There is nothing more important to our security and to the world’s stability than preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. And the United States has an unshakeable commitment to protect our ally and our fellow democracy South Korea. Thirty-eight thousand American troops stationed on the Peninsula are the guarantors of that commitment.

Today, after 16 months of intense and difficult negotiations with North Korea, we have completed an agreement that will make the United States, the Korean Peninsula, and the world safer. Under the agreement, North Korea has agreed to freeze its existing nuclear program and to accept international inspection of all existing facilities.

This agreement represents the first step on the road to a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula. It does not rely on trust.”
