Kerry Fails Again-Iran Talks Extended-No Agreement In Sight

[D1B]

watching TRUMPman6.93 trying to save face on this thread.

God bless Obama for hammering out a plan with Iran. It's a great start.

[Seahawks08]

So, now that the deal has been actually read, the scorecard is,

Countries who think it's a good deal:
Iran
Russia
China
North Korea

Countries who don't:
The rest of the world

This aught to be good: could you give a reason(s) why Iran, Russia, China, and NK think it's a good deal and the rest of the world not? I'll go get the popcorn for this one.

While I don't think that they are, I certainly hope that the Obama Administration is right on this

Ugh. So sick of people talking about how terrible inspections are and how they don't work. It sounds like 2003 all over again. Remember how Hans Blix was a running joke as he led inspections and claimed Iraq wasn't reconstituting its nuclear program? Dude was right. Inspections can work.

With anytime/anywhere surprise inspections, which this deal doesn't have....

Yay! Iran won't get nukes for 8 years! Let the build up of Saudi Arabia begin! The glass coast is coming! Should be shiney!

Troof.

Watch a Saudi-Israel coalition develop.

Back in the 70's, I recall international pundits predicting a nuclear war in the middle east around the millennium...

...25 years late, but they were close.

Huh! Maybe something positive will result from this diplomatic train wreck.

Uhhhhhhh, yeaaaah, Saudi Arabia will now fight their own battles or at the very least get engaged.

Great start.

Watching D1B embarrassed like this is getting hard to stomach..........its sad and if he was black it would be a hate crime.

Man, how far can a guy fall before he hits rock bottom?

Some views from the Iranian perspective in case anyone cares...

https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015 ... lear-deal/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

There are some noble exceptions, but the general exclusion of Iranian voices from establishment U.S. media coverage, whether by intent or otherwise, has had a very distortive effect on how Iran is perceived, allowing them to be depicted as primitive, irrational, apocalyptic religious fanatics. While that caricature arguably applies to the U.S.’s closest allies in the regime, and to some of the most extremist Iranian (and Israeli and American) fringes, it is wildly inapplicable to Iran as a whole.

The youth literacy rate in Iran is 98.7 percent, as compared to 82.4 percent in Iraq, 70.8 percent in Pakistan, and 89.3 percent in Egypt. Enrollment in tertiary education is only 2% points below that of Germany, U.K., and France. Iran’s Human Development Index is far ahead of most of its neighbors. As Elahe Izadi explained last year in the Washington Post, “being a highly educated Iranian woman is actually quite normal. Women outnumber men in Iranian universities, a trend that started in 2001.” Similarly, Reza Aslan has pointed out that “Iran currently has the highest number of U.S. college alums serving in any foreign government cabinet in the world.” The country’s vice president, Masoumeh Ebtekar, is a woman.

Yet, they still would execute you for being gay, Glenn.
They still stone women for infidelity.

At least they are highly educated, tho.

The young, highly educated people aren't the ones doing that, dipshit. Try turning off Fox News once in a while.

But they are big enough pussies to let it happen. They are just as responsible, maybe more because they should know better. The problem in that whole region is a small percent are ruthless fucks that rule the rest of the damn apathetic , total pussies.

Try opening your eyes once in a while and get your tongue out of Obama's ass, shitstain.

What's the over/under that Congress approves it?

They'll disapprove it and get vetoed and then fail to overturn the veto.

I'm really hoping this is a sarcastic post and not an accurate reflection of the actual knowledge of civics.

[Grizalltheway]

It's not like they haven't tried. It ain't as easy as you seem to think it is.
