Iran Agrees to Nuke Deal

[Kylistan]

... Rouhani was the one who extended the olive branch here, not Obama. And as has been said, this involves all of the members of the Security Council. It's obviously an international effort that took months of sweat and negotiation to work through.

How utterly self-absorbed do you have to be to think that a deal like this was manufactured to distract from a domestic political issue in one country?! The mind boggles.

Why would he care anyway? He isn't up for re-election.

Midterm elections. He doesn't want his party to lose control of the Senate.

The GOP already lost the second they committed themselves to shutting down the gov. Obama could kill a baby on national TV and it would still be too late for them to lose.

Well it appears as if diplomatic talks between Iran and 6 world powers (The United States, France, Germany, Britain, China and Russia) have provided some sort of deal on how to handle Iran's nuclear program. President Obama gave a late night briefing to the press, but details on the deal remain largely unknown except for the fact that if Iran complies to whatever the world powers are asking, they will be given access to $4.2 billion in foreign exchange. This may be a step in the right direction for a safer world, but I believe that many of us will be disappointed once the details come out. The Obama White House has had an uncomfortably soft stance on Iran, thus I'm weary to trust his administration in negotiations with them. So Nation States, what do you think about Obama's stance on Iran, and do you think that this deal will create a safer world, or a more dangerous one?

On the other hand, if Obama performed an abortion on national TV that could only increase the single women votes.

Do you live in America? The focus of the media and the public has completely shifted to the failures of Obamacare and the harm of the shutdown on the GOP has essentially disappeared as seen here: http://www.nationaljournal.com/hotline-on-call/poll-republicans-now-tied-with-democrats-in-battle-for-congress-20131113

Iran shouldn't compromise on their nuclear program; they have a sovereign right to nuclear power. Furthermore, all sanctions against Iran should be dropped.

This.

And they also focused on how Mitt Romney was going to landslide in 2012.

Back on topic, please.

[Kylistan]

Whether you will admit it or not, the Republican's have a serious chance of taking control of the Senate in 2014, and this deal is Obama's distraction from the policies that may lead to that happening.

Totally...It's not like they'll use them to blow up Israel or anything....That'd NEVER in a MILLION years happen.

If he shot the baby, it would probably get him even more votes from the hoplophiles.

Please do not tell me you buy into Bibi Nutty-Yahoo's trolling...

I was basically about to say the same. You ninja'ed me there.

Because the only real path to Middle East Peace is Greater Israel. *nod nod*

I once saw a video by Pajamas TV (Right-wing American outlet) which said exactly that.

Though they weren't joking.

An interesting prediction. In the interests of ending this threadjack, I'd like to invite you to this thread, which has been specifically set up with the motivation of debating such matters.

Stupid nicknames for national leaders is perilously close to trolling. Please don't. You'd be upset is someone referred to the leader of Syria in a similar manner.

[Bobanopula]

Nice that in America we can see how a 2nd term of Jimmy Carter would have been like.

[Virana]

This.

Totally...It's not like they'll use them to blow up Israel or anything....That'd NEVER in a MILLION years happen.

With all the Muslims in Israel, and the fact that Israel is home to countless Islamic holy places, and that Israel has its own nukes, and that all of Israel's supporting powers are nuclear-armed, no. Iran would most likely not "use them to blow up Israel" if it did acquire nuclear weapons. And it's not like they would acquire weapons either, considering the intrusive inspections by international groups.

Israel itself is responsible for nuclear proliferation as well, and it actively seeks nuclear weapons. Iran actually signed the NPT, unlike Israel. So let's stop treating Israel like some white knight hero we have to protect at all costs.

[Alien Space Bats]

I think that the 6 world powers gave too much ground to Iran, and I believe that this deal was made by President Obama largely to attempt to distract the media and the American people from the mess that Obamacare has been so far.

Seriously?!?

It's not ALL about Obamacare. I mean, you'd have to be crazy to believe that it was. Or a Republican. But then (as Mark Twain once said), I repeat myself...

[Yumyumsuppertime]

Nice to see that in America we can see people still stuck in a late 70s-early 80s mindset regarding Iran despite the entire world stage having shifted drastically since that time.

Do elaborate.

And nobody who disagrees with Iranian policy is ever accused of racism to boot.
