President Obama’s deal with Iran over its nuclear program will have catastrophic consequences for U.S. security and that of our allies, not to mention the millions of innocent civilians now doomed to a prolonged and bloodier Islamic civil war that might well ultimately be settled by a nuclear confrontation when Iran gets the bomb—which is only a matter of time now.
On Monday, Iran’s nuclear program was illegal and by Tuesday it was not only legal but on a path to fulfill all that the mullahs have envisioned of it. As the public and the Congress review the agreement in detail, we’ll see even more clearly what is already evident: the United States gave up its most important redlines in exchange for Iranian promises that an inadequate inspections regime are to verify.

SGT (Join to see), to be honest I don't think this deal with Iran will be considered a historical victory. For instance the Camp David Accords hammered out between Israel and Egypt during President Carter's administration in 1978 between Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar el-Sādāt and officially titled the “Framework for Peace" were considered historical at the time and since. The brief period in historical terms during the Arab spring and winter when the Muslim Brotherhood dominated Egypt notwithstanding. Israel and Egypt have generally maintained a cooperative detente first when dealing with Hamas and know with ISIS.
President Obama wants to add an international agreement feather to his cap. I expect this current deal with Iran will go the way of similar deals with Iran and Saddam era Iraq - unenforceable failures.

LTC Stephen F., Sir, I think the only thing historical about this administration, is when it will end. The POTUS has accomplished more in the this year than in his entire two terms. He wants to go out with a legacy of mission accomplished. They may be accomplished, but they aren't completed. The next POTUS will have to finish where this one left off. Hmmm. Reminds me of something this POTUS said about the Bush's all the way through the first term and continue through his second term.

We couldn't trust Iran when Pres. Carter was in office. They have not changed their ideology. Iran is just as deceitful now as they were then. Their war cry is, always has been, and will continue to be, "down with the USA and destroy Israel." They can"t be reasoned with, what have they done to convince the American people...NOTHING!

I forget could we trust them with Bush? How about when the offered to help us with the Taliban and Bush turned them down... I get so confused.

I'm more convinced the "deal" is like putting a plug in an air leak rather than patching the hole. It's a temporary fix.

CPT (Join to see) - Captain; You say "Self-serving is synonymous with Iran." and you are correct.
It's equally correct to say "Self-serving is synonymous with America.".
The ONLY governments which do not put the needs of their own country first are Kleptocracies and "Puppet" governments (which tend to Kleptocracies).
This, however, is not surprising since - historically - one of the main purposes of having a government is to do the best thing for your own people (frequently regardless of the effects on some other country's people).

SPC Andrew Griffin, yes. We could have/should have increased sanctions rather than surrender to terrorists, with a military strike to remove their nuclear facilities as a very real option.
