Do you feel that this administration is simply interested in getting a deal done for it's legacy as opposed to getting THE deal which will ensure that Iran is unable to develop nuclear weapons? I personally feel that the current administration, counter to what it actually tells the media and general public, is only concerned with getting a deal signed so they can point to that as the "crown jewel" of its feckless foreign policy.

I do. Their legacy is the goal.

I'm still a little confused why the hostages can't or could not be part of any deal. And yes, I believe he is only concerned with his legacy. He wants to be remembered as the greatest. Right now I think he rates in the top 50 (sarcasm).

I think that we will never get a deal which is 100% in our favor. The object is to get the best deal that we can.

The alternative is another war. Do we really want to go to war with Iran? The Israelis will force our hand and we've been practicing with the new bunker buster bombs designed to take out their underground facilities.

I would welcome any deal that would reduce tensions and hope for the best deal that we can get. Compromise is not a bad word.

This is Kerry at the negotiating. "Please please please. With sugar on top. How many times have they moved the line. The Iranions taunt Obama calling for audacity and hope.
