The United States, Iran and five other countries that no one ever mentions came to a framework agreement yesterday regarding Iran's nuclear energy and weapons development. Before the details (which are included in the link above) were even released, we saw this.
John Boehner in Israel: ‘The world is on fire’
Iran nuclear deal threatens Israel's 'survival,' Netanyahu says
Republican senator compares Iran deal to Nazi appeasement
O...M....G...!!!!
I don't think I have seen this much pants shitting since Obama got Osama!! Appeasement? I wasn't aware that we were granting large swaths of land in the Middle East to Iran...oh wait, maybe we are as we fight alongside them against ISIL:)
When I saw the reaction to the framework of this yet to be detailed and signed agreement, it became glaringly obvious what was really going on. Conservatives are going to have to endure yet another Obama success and they don't wanna hafta because he is a poopy headed fat face whose face is fat!!! (I put Bibi in this category as well since he has decided to behave as insecurely as the Republicans due to his impending irrelevance).
So, while the 8 year old boys have their little temper tantrum, take a look at the details of the framework. It's glaringly obvious that the effectiveness of the sanctions (which are now ookey-dokey with conservatives) have led Iran to this massive capitulation. It's a laundry list of actions that Iran has to take or else it's back to the Big Squeeze. They must really be hurting. In fact, I can attest to this personally.
One of my long time students is Iranian. She and I have had many conversations about relations between our two countries. Her and her family travel back to Iran frequently and she has noted just how angry the people are with their government. This is why they are giving up so much. The government is growing increasingly afraid of another uprising-one which they will not be able to quell as they have in the past. The younger people in particular want to be a part of the world community and look to the United States with great envy as a model for what they want their society to be someday. They are very tired of the old ways and crave change.
It's time to help them get there and this agreement is a very large first step.

George Bush already did that when he installed the current Shiite government in Iraq after overthrowing Iran's nemesis, Saddam Hussein.
Iran's power has increased drastically since the Bush administration either was duped by or conspired with Iranian agents like Ahmed Chalabi.
Now John Bolton is running around screaming WE HAVE TO NUKE IRAN RIGHT NOW!!!
Where was this rhetoric when North Korea got the bomb, while Bolton was an official in the Bush administration?
Bush and Bolton just let North Korea get the bomb in 2006, without attacking any research facilities, laying waste to Pyong Yang, or doing any of the things that he demands the Obama administration do in Iran. They had five years to stop North Korea, and they did absolutely nothing.
Why didn't the Bush administration want to start a war with North Korea? Well, they were already fighting two other wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. So their hands were completely tied by Bush's idiotic adventurism.
Bush's war in Iraq was the best recruiting tool the terrorists ever had (Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo), setting the stage for ISIS, the civil war in Syria, the civil war in Yemen, the civil war in Libya, and on and on.
The world is burning now because George Bush and Dick Cheney set it on fire when they invaded Iraq. This is important to emphasize, not just to properly assign blame, but to make sure we know to never trust the judgment of anyone in the Bush administration again, and to avoid making the same mistakes they made.
In 2009, Obama had an opportunity to influence events in Iran as millions of youth were protesting (and being killed in the streets). He chose to do nothing to assist or encourage.
Surely, even the most obtuse leftoids aren't so ignorant of why war wasn't started with Korea over nuclear weapons (and they've obviously completely forgotten Bill Clinton's big deal with the Norks to halt progress on their bomb). That was another triumph in proggy hippy-dippy diplomacy. Do you suppose, Nikto, that a nuclear-armed China with close ties to North Korea, who once sent millions of troops into combat against Americans to prevent a rollback of aggressive communism out of Korea) would just sit idly by? Or a weakened, but still nuclear-armed Russia with some interests in the area? Next, how about the massive amounts of incredibly well-dug-in conventional North Korean firepower within range of most of Seoul, holding their capital, largest city, biggest industrial area, and a very important port hostage. It doesn't take nukes to turn a city to rubble. With installation dug deep into mountainsides, getting them dug out without nuclear weapons would be a costly, time-consuming, bloody process. If nukes were used, Japan would be incredibly pissed at us because they're downwind of all the fallout. There's a lot of reasons North Korea wasn't attacked, you just have to be willing to go READ ABOUT IT from more than a Daily Show/Bill Maher/Rolling Stone/Mother Jones/Grit-deep world perspective.
I note the Iranians are already claiming Obama's lying about the terms of deal. They're just playing the delaying game until they have sufficient weapons-grade material stockpiled, like Lucy with the football. None of the leftoids I've talked to about this have had any clue that as the uranium gets more and more enriched, the process speeds up geometrically. The endgame is much, much faster than the long buildup.
