irannucleardeal

I find myself having to be careful here. Few distrust Iran more than I. Few hold President Obama in lower regard than I. As for Secretary Kerry, as I wrote in 2012, "The man is not fit to be Secretary of Latrines, let alone Secretary of State." As a consequence I tend to automatically dismiss this deal as another Obama administration display of incompetence. Just another attempt at a signature accomplishment and damn the consequences.

So I took a bit of time and reviewed Iran's history of compliance with U.N. resolutions and international nuclear agreements as well as President Obama's track record in foreign affairs. I read articles praising the deal and articles condemning the deal. I read the Fact Sheet at whitehouse.gov. After review and careful consideration I came to the conclusion; "This deal is another Obama administration display of incompetence. Just another attempt at a signature accomplishment and damn the consequences."

And then came the following headlines:

"Kerry: Nuke deal doesn't give Iran right to enrich; Iran: World recognized our right to enrich"
"Iran Says US Misrepresents Nuclear Deal"
"Iran says to continue building at Arak nuclear site despite deal"
