    Not going to single out anyone on this thread, but...

    One hundred percent of the people who hate the Iran nuclear deal have no idea how it worked or what we got out of it.

    They're the same people who hated the Affordable Care Act but never read it, while it was available online the entire time.

    I'm not saying there weren't things to dislike about either of those deals.  I'm saying you don't know what they are.  You don't understand either situation, the deals, or the alternatives.  You can't even speak intelligently about *why* you don't like the deals.  You just parrot what you hear on Fox News.  It would be sadly humorous, if there weren't so god damned many of you.

    Disclaimer: not a liberal.

    Now...  prove me wrong.  Someone make one intelligent statement as to how the world is better off because of what Trump did today...

    Quotes from the report at this link: https://www.belfercenter.org/publication/iran-nuclear-deal-definitive-guide

    4.1.2 Access to Undeclared Facilities
    Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement
    Under Iran’s Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement, the
    IAEA can seek access to an undeclared site through a “special
    inspection” if the IAEA Director General believes that access is
    required to confirm the correctness and completeness of information
    provided by Iran. In circumstances that may lead to a
    special inspection, the IAEA is required to consult with Iran.
    There is no deadline specified in the CSA for resolving disputes
    between the IAEA and Iran over special inspections, but the
    Director General would normally report the situation to the
    IAEA Board of Governors.

    Additional Protocol
    The Additional Protocol permits the IAEA broader access on a
    more routine basis to follow up questions or inconsistencies. In
    the event of a question or inconsistency, the IAEA is required
    to provide Iran with an opportunity to clarify and facilitate the
    resolution of the question or inconsistency before the request
    for access is made (unless the IAEA considers that any delay
    in access would prejudice the purpose for which the access is
    sought). In any event, the IAEA may not draw any conclusions
    regarding the question or inconsistency until Iran has been provided
    with such an opportunity. If Iran is unable to provide the
    requested access, it is required to make every reasonable effort
    to satisfy the IAEA’s requirements, without delay, through other
    means.
    The IAEA is required to offer Iran at least 24 hours notice before
    access occurs in order to explain the reason for seeking access,
    and to give Iran an opportunity to resolve issues by other means.
    If Iran is “unable” to allow access at the requested location, there
    is no deadline specified in the AP for resolving disputes over
    complementary access to suspect sites. The AP also allows for
    “managed access” to sites in order to protect sensitive or proprietary
    information.

    There is a fake inspection regime in place. Iran lied before the deal and as far as anyone knows, is most likely cheating on the deal since the deal itself was designed to allow that. Iran would not have signed a truly binding deal.  The inspections are completely tootless.

     

    To answer your question, we now have an opportunity to negotiate a deal which prevents Iran from getting nuclear weapons, where before there was a certainty that they would get them. What do I win?

    plus, maybe had a little to much of this tonight, whilst listening to old time hard rock.

    I'm suggesting that most of what you see there is due to medical enhancement for which we are all incredibly grateful.
