President Obama gave a pep talk to U.S. diplomats Monday, urging them to finish strong as his administration enters its final months, and defending his diplomatic breakthroughs with Iran and Cuba.

Heres the truth: conflicts and wars do not end on their own. Breakthroughs dont just happen. Agreements dont write themselves. It takes diplomacy, being willing to sit down with others.
Citing the Iranian nuclear deal, the Paris climate-change agreement and a fragile cease-fire in Syrias civil war, Mr. Obama said the developments are examples of strong, principled diplomacy at work.

Obama's "diplomacy" is only successful in his own mind. But then these Lefties use Bill Clinton's handling of North Korea's nuclear threat as historic and a milestone in a diplomacy to mimic. Too bad it failed miserably as will Obama's faux efforts with Iran.
This Iran deal was a failure from the start because this was never about Iran'a nuclear capabilities. It is all about Obama and Kerry's Marxist agenda and their wish to have a nice legacy to go along with it.
Obama has diplomacy and capitulation confused.
