Iran and world powers have reached a historic deal

[Islandman]

Lets see how the Repugs respond to this.

With a historic deal meant to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions in place, President Barack Obama has ticked off another legacy-making item on his checklist -- as long as Congress doesn't get in his way.

Early Tuesday, Obama launched a sales pitch to lawmakers who remain deeply skeptical of the nuclear deal. But while Congress retains the ability to nullify Obama's accord with Tehran, the high bar for action on Capitol Hill -- including building veto-proof majorities in just over two months -- will make it difficult for opponents to block the President.

Come on bredren, don't you know for many of these people the first option should be war. I find it comical that whenever they talk of foreign policy, they're mentioning the military.

[Mosiah]

Yep! That's the Repug's alternative!

This ain't no lame duck president!

[Hortical]

Don't know about details to form an opinion.
The removal of dictators has worked well in Iraq & Libya and they are beacons of civility & flourishing democracies.

This is a big deal. The two countries never spoke to each other for 37 years and wanted to wipe each other off the face of the earth. Iranians jumping up and down in the streets waving the American flag and chanting Obama.

The people of Iran and the government of Iran are two different things tho.

My Iranian friend tells me that the govt. is fixed on annihilating Israel and they should never be trusted. However, he does not know what the alternative is. He agrees the deal does give everyone a decade to chill.

But that was only one Iranian's point of view.

If not this deal, what? And that's what the Repugs need to understand. Not doing anything is worse than this deal, and waging war with Iran is not better than this deal. At the end of the day, another "drop mic" moment for President Obama!

I may not know everything about the deal, but what the Repugs must also realise is, this was not just an American deal. Did the rest of the free world sell out to the devil as well?!?

The GOP Senate must ratify this agreement & that's questionable during a presidential campaign year.

[Mosiah]

So we go to war? Or just watch as Iran goes ahead with its nuclear program?

Which one yuh raada? ::

... as they're doing an excellent job to constantly be on the wrong side of history.

[Hortical]

I support an agreement wid dem. The GOP neo-cons are taking their orders from Nethanyu.

Obama needs 5 repub senate votes plus all dems for ratification. Lets see how this shakes out.

... especially since God's chosen people disagree with the deal.

I just hope the nay voters volunteer their sons first when the war starts.

Really? They'd rather draft you first.
