US and IRAN...reach NUKE deal !

[SparrowHawk]

I suspect you're right about the Iranians not keeping to the agreement. HOWEVER:
 
Regardless, we have the most powerful military in the world by a large margin. We can IMO afford to take a risk and not intervene at this time.
 
We should while we give diplomacy a chance to work prepare for an all out assault on Iran just in case.
 
If we view this agreement as a one shot deal then we will fail. The proof of their sincerity will be in future trade negotiations and smaller agreements.
 
Just because you're the biggest, bad ass that ever roamed doesn't mean you have to beat up everyone. Just those who don't honor good faith agreements.

your feelings about Bush not withstanding doesn't change the fact the Iranians won't come close to keeping their end of this deal

 

I bet the Israelis thought the same thing about Egypt.

If they break the treaty then the treaty is void and it goes back to the way it was which did not work. Then Russia and China will move into the vacuum and help them out. It's all good. Right?

You can't discount the treaty with Anwar Sadat

You have a link on that?

 
Then why don't you tell us why he did it.

That is not a "fact", it is your opinion.  Two different things

Coming from the guy who won't say if the invasion of Iraq was a mistake or not one way or the other.

It wasn't.

It wasn't.

 
4000 KIA, a couple hundred thousand dead Iraqi's, a trillion dollars, Iran in defacto control of Iraq's government, the rise of ISIS, an over taxed VA system etc, etc.  All for some left over shells from the Iran/Iraq War buried in the desert.

Finally realize what Bill Clinton's innocent actions resulted in.
Good you got that off your chest, finally.

That remark just show that you really don't give a crap that 4000 Americans died in a BS war.

I didn't or wouldn't say that.
 
You still haven't shown me a good war.

I wouldn't say that.

You've never heard of "Operation Desert Storm"?  I mean....that one was the birth of the Hummer....go in, kick ass and take names....stop short of taking out Saddam because as our secretary of defense said at the time.
 

I think for us to get American military personnel involved in a civil war inside Iraq would literally be a quagmire.

Your cavalier attitude about it says otherwise.
