The point isn't threat. The point was acquiring nukes. And ask Seoul not me about if they feel like a hot dog stand.

Our ground based Nukes can not be hacked because the computer system required to launch them is so 20th Century,the internet is not used. The Russians have also stepped up their "cat & mouse" games by sending their bombers close to our shores trying to push the envelope. It's all a joke of course,because the nuclear payload carried on our subs (and theirs) can obliterate both countries in a few minutes.

It is disturbing that we overthrew a democratic Iranian government in the 50's to install a dictator. I suspect if they did that to us, we might chant death to Iran.

"In 1951 Mohammad Mosaddegh was elected prime minister. He became enormously popular in Iran after he nationalized Iran's petroleum industry and oil reserves. He was deposed in the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, an Anglo-American covert operation that marked the first time the US had overthrown a foreign government during the Cold War."

Thanks for reminding me of what ASSHOLES Kerry and Obama have been on this issue, with the latest PR Schtick being..."The dollar will be devalued if we walk away from this Iran deal"

Fact is, we should have walked away a long time ago and not sat down in a room with them, until a few of our demands are met...like "RELEASE THE US PRISONERS" .. might be a start!

Not going to get into this whole debate, but Kerry (and Obama) know they are going to lose this one and thus pulling out the USD$ fears...and trying to promote it as a story. Pretty sure I have heard the term fear mongering before. I know a few here well respond with a "in 2009 Bush did this....." Blah blah blah....I dont defend Bush, he is an idiot, but Mr transparent President was going to change these kinds of side deals and scams....and he has done very little if anything to accomplish what he says. I will say this, he made the rich, way richer!

The repressive regime of said dictator would later lead to Anti American feelings on the part of the Iranian people, culminating in the Iranian Revolution of 79. The U.S. GOVT propped up Shah's regime while he was in power. The U.S. also provided asylum and medical care for him after the revolution.

The U.S. Govt (Eisenhower) and (Nixon) administration would repeat this mistake, first in Guatemala and later in Chile.

Obama sure has not functioned as a community organizer since he was elected President. He has been a puppet of the rich, which I always, believed that he would be. Nothing in his past indicated that he would be some sort of radical revolutionary.

I normally don't pull the parent card around here, but I'll be damned if I don't send my teenaged sons the hell out of this country if the neo-con warhawks win again. When that jackass Scott Walker was critical of the deal during his campaign announcement with his apparently vacuous yet military aged eligible sons stand around smiling I almost threw up. Palin may be a lot of things, but I respected that her son actually put on the uniform and went into harm's way. Until "leaders" are offering up their sons and daughters first, I have no interest in another conflict in this part of the world that would involve my own kids.

If we go back to war there, no deferments, no national guard free passes, no boils on the ass (Rush) or trick knees (Cheney) or eating peanut butter from one's ass (Nugent). Only then can I see my sons going. Before that, I have a semi-violent response to the notion of either of them going over there for someone else's profit (& to deal with our 60 year fuckup).

It may very well be a crap deal, but no one honestly believes an actual good deal was out there for the taking.

As noted above, the Chinese & Russians would prevent that.

We aren't going to win "hearts and minds" with another ill-conceived war. Some of us learned that lesson with Vietnam.

The is NO REASON to make a deal with them. All the past bullshit aside, their country was beginning to implode under the sanctions that they were forced to live under.

_________________

Nothing short of war is going to prevent Iran from at least attempting to acquire nukes. The tough talking neoconservative crowd were not able to prevent it. They are pre conditioned to criticize any deal that Obama comes up with. War with Iran is the only thing that will prevent the acquisition of nukes. That's the reality. This deal has very little bearing on that, contrary to what the partisan hacks would like for the public to believe.

Watching a country in that part of the world implode left us with Afghanistan and now Syria, how's that working out for us all?

Someone "over there" will get their hands on nuclear weaponry. Imo it's inevitable, war or not. They have the money and motivation, and I fully expect that at some point the Saudis will finance it.

But as a parent, I don't want to hear from partisan hacks until they have real skin in the game.
