A deal has been reached between the world powers and Iran over the latter’s nuclear program after a series of major American concessions, Ehud Yaari, the Middle East affairs commentator for Israel’s Channel 2 television, said Friday night. “It is done. It is done,” he said, and will be signed “early next week.”
The aim of the agreement is to put a negotiated end to a 13-year standoff with Iran over its suspect nuclear program and to block its pathway to developing a nuclear bomb in exchange for lifting biting global sanctions. Israel’s leadership has relentlessly opposed the emerging agreement, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warning that it will pave Iran’s path to a nuclear arsenal.
According to Yaari, Israel’s most respected Middle East analyst, the deal was reached because the Americans “have made a series of capitulations over the past two to three weeks in almost every key aspect that was being debated.”
Yaari said that even those in the US who had supported the agreement with Iran “admit that it is worse than they thought.” Now, he said, the ball is in the court of Democratic lawmakers who have to decide whether to support their president as he seeks to secure Congressional approval, or to join the vocal Republican opposition to an agreement.

treaty will never pass the senate
1. “Legacies” first
2. Nobels second
. . .
1000. American interests
So Hanoi Boi dropped his drawers and bent over for the Iranians just so his boy in the White House could have a “legacy”?
The Iranians chant ‘death to America’ and burn US and Israeli flags. Of course Obama loves them-they’re on the same page.
I doubt that, although I will be happy to concede I’m wrong if that’s the case. Obama will buy off the necessary support from Dems and the Republicans will reliably cave, as usual. They too can be bought. The fix is in.
Didn’t they decide it’s not a treaty? I think the Senate just gives it a face-saving once-over. Maybe I got that wrong.

Netanyahu knows this painfully well. Israel will be forced to act on its own or live under constant threat of extinction.
The Senate is “road kill” now, useless as a third
teat on a bull. They, under McConnell, gave up
all power to the King.
Senate Republicans to American people:
BOHICA!
Since it turns out that the Ayatollah Khomenei was right all along when he called the United States of America "the Great Satan," maybe a nuclear-armed Iran will be a more responsible empire than we have been.
face it...... America is the great satan
all that is sinful is revered and honored
sin is debunked, there is no sin
Obama’s greatest miscalculation about Israel is that it’s a nuclear power, and will not be destroyed without a nuclear response. Somehow this doesn’t seem to concern Dear Leader, which I believe is irrefutable proof of his disassociation with reality.

When (not if) Iran sets off its first nuke Obama will own it.
Some legacy.
According to the Compost, Obama can veto a no vote and the “agreement” goes through unless Congress overrides. Is this correct??
y not?
Yes; they’ll be “responsible” for actually starting World War 3.
