I can hear Iran laughing all the way from here. Looks like all those years of saber-rattling about their non-existent weapons grade nuke program have finally paid off. All it took was Obama and Ketchup Boy to finally get it done. Bye bye crippling sanctions.

Well played Iran. Well played indeed.

When has Iran presented a threat to the United States? And how can they pose a threat to the far better armed state of Israel, a military belligerent second only to the United States?

But dont tell conservatives that, these folks are scared of their own shadow. I dont think there has been a more fearful and reactionary political party in American history than todays conservative.

Syria's stockpile destroyed, Iran's Arak reactor **** down... no shots fired.

Could the contrast with the Israeli-spy GOP Neocons be a any clearer this morning?
Did you just throw Hillary Clinton under the bus?

If Iran poses no threat to the US, why doesn't Obama and the rest of the Liberal Europe just let Iran develop the nukes then?

Or is Obama one of these conservative reactionaries?

Obama after all has:

-escalated the Afghanistan War and has ~75% of the deaths on his watch

-followed Bush's withdrawal timeline from Iraq, except he tried to extend it and did leave more troops behind 26,000 paid personnel

-more foreign drone bases, flying more drones, over more countries, with more civilian casualties

-special forces sent into 75 countries -- more than Bush

-more countries bombed than Bush

-flip flopping on whether he needs congress to bomb countries that pose no threat (Libya and Syria)

-ignoring the war powers resolution and refusing to stop bombing Libya after 60 days

-still torturing just with rendition

etc...

St. Pete for Peace

The barrybots here are even dumber than their boy if they believe this sell-out means a thing other than Iran will get nukes and will use them. Fools all.

Uh-huh...or it could be about to make everything worse. Articles: Dangerous Times: A Looming Strategic Disaster in the Middle East.

Everything this administration touches turns to krap, you really think the Middle East is about to become safer?

The title statement is nonsense.
When the Iranians let international inspectors investigate their installations, that obviously means they are sure the inspectors won't find anything. And that can be for two reasons: Either they have long shipped their technology elsewhere, in which case the development would continue, or they have never developed nukes in the first place, which is what they have been saying all the time. Either way, the title statement is wrong.

Default If you like your nukes, you can keep your nukes. PERIOD

Blindingly shortsighted deal, the Iranians win again.

Obama cheerleaders cheer and chant while Iran develops other aspects of their nuclear weapons program, some of which have been outsourced and all fail to come under the auspices of the deal.

Sorry, nothing to clebrate here. Though we have another move by Obama to add to history's laundry list of cosmically challenged decisions made by the winner of a novelty election who lacked any sign of qualification to lead the nation.

Obama missed the boat when he turned his back on the Iranian people when they rose up against their 'spiritual leaders'.

Add that to this latest reason to celebrate Obama's accomplishments.

If you like your nukes, you can keep your nukes. PERIOD.

Obama learned that strategy from studying the Iranians. The Iranians have difficulty keeping a straight face in light of his great acomplishment.

In 2004 Kerry ran on stopping nuclear proliferation...were the democrats reactionary conservatives less than a decade ago?
