Oh good grief.... The old "We had it coming!" drivel.
I think they over reacted to us killing their democratically elected leader and installing a puppet, not to mention taking over their oil production. Very over sensitive country
What? McConnell's a weakling? Owned by big tobacco?

Exactly why it's nothing but a cheap political gimmick.
It isn't designed to work. It is designed as show. It shows that they are pro-Israel, without actually getting anything from the Iranians or actually helping Israel. It's like voting against a bill that will pass overwhelmingly.
Are you suggesting this is nothing more than cheap political posturing?

You left out the Shah, kinder friendlier police force SAVAK Organization of Intelligence and National Security.

You need to learn history (or not). We overthrew the Iranian government in 1953 largely at the behest of the British. THEY controlled the Iranian oil system. And we didn't kill their leader.
The revolution in 1979 was an entirely different and largely unrelated affair. The Mullahs didn't invoke the 1953 coup much. They didn't have to. The Shah was becoming more and more dictatorial, the economy was in a shambles, complex internal political strife was being settled in the streets and radical Islam was on the rise. These factors were enough to foment the revolution.
Yes, Israel is capable of taking care of themselves. That isn't even the point. Their capabilities doesn't mean we should allow them to get the short end of the stick when we are in a position to prevent that.
And there is NO REASON the hostages they are holding could NOT be in the scope of this agreement.
This agreement is utterly without defense.
Israel has not gotten the "short end of the stick". This agreement is about Iran's nuclear program, not Israel.
They are not "hostages", nor should that be part of the agreement. Can you imagine if all 7 negotiating countries starting putting all of their demands on the table?
Those who supported the attempted sabotage of this deal are utterly without defense.

Complete nonsense. The 4 Americans the Iranians are holding are being held as bargaining chips. That makes them hostages.
And given Iran's constant, repeating threat to annihilate Israel I'm pretty sure that the prospect of Iranian nukes makes it about Israel. Or do you support these threats?

So it would be O.K. for Iran to bomb one of our cities as long as another country requests it?

Stop making excuses for frothing Islamists.
Our guy made a mess and Iran was mad. Being mad about another country installing a failed dictator in your country makes one a frothing islamists?

They absolutely should not have been part of it, which is why they weren't. China, Russia, France, Britain and Germany were there to discuss Iran's nuclear program, not Americans in Iran.
I don't agree with any threats. I do agree with the deal, and its a damn good thing its done.
