"If an agreement to limit Iran’s nuclear capability is reached by deadline in the next seven days, one thing may be missing: an actual written accord, signed by the Iranians."
An agreement that wouldn't be worth the paper it's written on...
I still hold out hope that the President isn't so stupid that he would accept such an agreement.
An agreement is only worth the commitment to it that the parties demonstrate.
It's been reported that Iran has yet to fulfill and honor a single one of it's commitments that have been agreed to.
It's also been reported that the UN's IAEA has been thwarted from it's inspections on a number of fronts and at a number of known locations.
Iran does not want to come clean on their intentions and be specific in a "deal?" I'm completely shocked, anyone else?
I guess Iran's leaders must not be taking Obama, Kerry and the UN very seriously. The overall impression that I get is that Iran is playing for time and lifting of sanctions. It's little wonder that Obama's being so easily taken in by Iran. They sense how desperate he is for a foreign policy achievement for his legacy, and are playing him for all it's worth; for all they can get. Obama, the international and diplomatic neophyte, is just way out of his depth, severely over-matched and extremely vulnerable, and the Iranian leaders know it.
A bad deal is worse than no deal. At least it'll have to go to the Senate to become binding on the US. Hope they recognize whether it's a good deal or a bad deal. Seems like they are already doing so.
