Quote:There is a deal in place that Iran agreed to. 24 days is not enough time for them to remove all traces of nuclear bomb development from a facility, despite what your far-right blogosphere writers want you to think, and if Iran is found to be close to or in possession of a nuke, there would be an aggressive response from the US and EU (not to mention Israel, which might just attack independent of what the big boys do).

 

Meanwhile, what does tearing up that deal accomplish? Again, the US does not get to tear up the deal and hold a gun to Iran's head to force them back to the table. Iran has a deal now that they have agreed to with the west, one that actual nuclear scientists and proliferation experts--not Stephen A. Warhawk and the blog he runs from his basement--support. If the US tears up that deal with Iran, what makes you think they'd go back to the table? The restoration of sanctions? The rest of the world would never go along with that. The threat of military intervention? Sure, let's get ourselves into yet another Vietnam/Iraq situation that we can't win, then drop trillions of dollars and get tens of thousands of Americans killed in the process. Oh, and let's [BAD WORD REMOVED] off Russia, Europe and the OPEC nations at the same time.

 

You're living in a dream world if you think that deal would be torn up. Even Cruz isn't that stupid. He's just grandstanding so that wannabe "anti-establishment rebels" will keep his flailing campaign alive to the convention.

After trying to talk about this with many conservatives here and listening to opponents in talk radio and blogs and what not state their concerns I have come to one conclusion. This is not about the deal or how the deal is bad or could have been better. This is about 2 things in particular. They did not want negotiations in the first place. They are very disingenuous in their opinion of the deal and in the specifics of the deal because they did not want the talks to take place at all. Also Obama is involved and since the knuckleheads think he is actually evil that makes everything he says or wants to do something they simply must disagree with.
