#1 Not that I'm believe the NYP Artic, but the US-Allies wannna see thingys from Rising Iran like this ...

To wit,

* REDDIT > [NewsJack.com = NSJK.com] BREAKING NEWS: PAKISTAN DECLARES WAR ON SYRIA. UN SECURITY COUNCIL CALLS EMERGENCY SESSION IN RESPONSE TO PAKISTANI SURPRISE.

"Operation AZAD SYRIA".

N-O-T thingys like ...

* DAILY TIMES.PK > GOVT. SAYS "NO" TO MILITARY OPERATION AGZ THE TALIBAN.

Clearly the Taliban, etal. may surrender iff Islamabad engages in unconditional mutual talks + puts pretty flowers on their guns???

#3 He was for it before he was against it.

Ever get the impression we have competent leaders ?

The US lacks the will to survive. A people who can't or won't fight for what they believe in can always learn to suck.

Oh, and Obama takes a three million dollar vacation and the disabled Vets get their benefits cut. Can you say,"Yes we can."?

#4 This "deal" was just more stalling, which helps the mullahs. They'll only stop when forced. Don't hold your breath.

#5 6 months for a new deal?

#6 More like 6 months of ValJar and her Iranian handlers meeting and planning out how to have the US Surrender on Iranian Nukes.

#7 I thought we had surrendered to the Mad Mullahs. Now our surrender isn't good enough?

#9 The question is: Will the WH still relax sanctions, in hopes of bringing the mullahs back to the table?

#10 Wait, did we not release $20billion in impounded assets right after the signing? Seriously, I read that we had done so, and if so, they got what ValJar wanted for her friends, and now the deal goes T-up? Seriously, if the $ was released, can the press and the Congress really be so stupid that they can't see the source of the con?

#11 and the deal didn't even distract from the Obamacare flop in any meaninful way.

I am surprised the Iranians didn't pretend to follow the deal for as long as they could. Sort of refreshing to have them repudiate it immediately.

#12 My guess is that the Mullah's were so surprised that they ordered ValJar to nix the deal so they can come back and get even more. Heck that is what I would do!

can the press and the Congress really be so stupid that they can't see the source of the con?

My thoughts is that they are so worried about Obumbles 'legacy' that they would agree to anything. Also they hope that any Iranian 'negotiations' during '14 could be used to drive the train wreck of Obamacare off the pages.

#13 Sec State can't deliver for his boss? Well, he was never much of a Senator either.

Supposedly. I'm not sure if it has been fully released.
