If you think the United States just struck a poor nuclear deal with Iran, you’re right; but if that’s your key takeaway, you’re missing the point. Iran’s nuclear program was last on the list of the Obama administration’s priorities in talking to Tehran. The administration readily caved on Iran’s nukes because it viewed the matter only as a timely pretense for achieving other cherished aims. These were: (1) preventing an Israeli attack on Iran; (2) transforming the United States into a more forgiving, less imposing power; (3) establishing diplomacy as a great American good in itself; (4) making Iran into a great regional power; and (5), ensuring the legacies of the president and secretary of state as men of vision and peace.
The administration has always viewed Israel as an intractable troublemaker and the main catalyst for the region’s woes. An Israeli strike on Iran, especially if supported by the United States, would have been yet another display of destabilizing Israeli aggression that put Middle East peace further out of reach. Barack Obama, therefore, repeatedly warned Israel against attacking Iran. Benjamin Netanyahu complied, and for his compliance White House officials taunted him in 2014 as a “chickenshit” whose window of opportunity had closed. That window is now barred. The Iran deal states that the U.S. will train Iranians to counter any sabotage attempts on its nuclear facilities and systems. This is aimed at frustrating Israeli action.

The Iran negotiations became Obama’s magnum opus on the theme of listening. Americans listened to Iranians dictate terms, shoot down offers, insult the United States, and threaten allies. America has been humbled indeed.

WTF?
Really? How did that work out for this guy?
That’s why you get your Peace Prize in advance.

This is what we deserve for letting a ballerina go toe to toe with heavyweights.
I listened to the speech zero gave, on youtube. In the speech he said that the deal that was made is in writing, and he invited people to read it.
Has anybody seen it online yet, and has anybody here, read it?
I beg to differ with folks. This agreement isn’t about giving Iran a green light. It just gave Israel one, and I’m betting Israel goes first.
1. Imam Obamatollah has written his true loyalty & allegiance is to islam.
2. Imam Obamatollah has demonstrated his anti-Semitic hatred of Israel.
Logic dictates Imam Obamatollah has formally chosen his team - Iran - and they will now proceed to carry out their goals of destroying both “Little satan” and the “Great satan”.
(1) preventing an Israeli attack on Iran;
This deal pretty much FORCES Israel to attack Iran.
(2) transforming the United States into a more forgiving, less imposing power;
Translation: Make all the bad guys in the world think they can do whatever they want because we are a paper tiger. Mission accomplished.
(3) establishing diplomacy as a great American good in itself;
We haven’t establish diplomatic relations with Iran
(4) making Iran into a great regional power; and
Well, yes it does do that but that is a distinctly bad thing
(5), ensuring the legacies of the president and secretary of state as men of vision and peace
He was carefull to list this one last, but in reality it is the ONLY reason for this and some guys “legacy” is a ridiculously stupid reason for a foreign policy decision
Treason.
Just Barack Obama doing the job he was installed to do.
If you goal was to Destroy Western Civilization, could you have come up with a better deal?
The commie left hates Israel, along with the US. It’s fundamental to who and what they are. They want to do whatever they can to weaken the US, and also strengthen Russia. KGB Putin is reported to be extremely happy with this deal made by his “flexible” butt buddy Obama.
Or the Saudi’s..or..or.
Lets not forget, these nut jobs will make the world burn for their 12th imam in some well.
