What a bunch of maroons I sure wish we had some smart people working for us Is it that it doesn't pay well? Or maybe there aren't enough perks to go with the job?
The administration needed a "victory"; or something they can spin as a victory. Somewhat sort sighted by the Russians and Chinese; they are much closer to Iran than us.
Everything the present bunch has sold the masses so far has been faulty in some manner. Why should this be any different. What's scary is the so-called beforehand behind the scenes negotiating that went on without notifying our allies.
I'm starting to rethink this deal as not being as horrible as I thought yesterday. It has a whole bunch of definite "good" aspects, but all the "bad" points are just worries, or "could be bad." The rolling back of their current capability, enforced by inspections, could be huge. Time will tell, but if Iran doesn't cooperate, we just lock them down again with the sanctions, and more of them. And after 6 months we renew or modify the deal, or clamp down again. However, I don't like the implicit right to enrich point- we're giving up on that one.
And thieves who are idiots and idiots who are thieves.
ReplyDeleteYou get it. It's a logical "and" in many cases. (If not most?)
DeleteYou and NRO.
ReplyDeleteGreat link Buck. (I feel special just getting mentioned in the same breath!)
DeleteWhat a bunch of maroons

All there are now are two-faced liars
I think the problem is that people with integrity don't want their good name dragged through the mud by the Lame Stream Media.
DeleteI fear that we are well into the "bread and circuses" phase.

ReplyDeleteConcur WSF, very short sighted behavior by the Russians and Chinese.
DeleteI hope you guys are all wrong! I doubt it, but I can still hope.
ReplyDelete'Tis my fervent prayer Joe, that I'm wrong.
DeleteI don't see this one ending well, and I see Israel stepping in...
ReplyDeleteI think Israel has no choice but to defend herself. I only hope the West doesn't leave her in the lurch. A slim hope that.

They've changed the definition of transparency.
Faulty indeed.

ReplyDeleteYour last point was my biggest concern. Which reminded me of Munich in '38. Also the Israelis can't be happy about it. And I can't blame them.
DeleteIf the Iranians behave, then we'll see. But when have they done that?
