    Obama and the Democrats are now the guarantors of Iran's good behavior in its use of $150 billion in new financing to be released to the mullahs under the terms of Obama's Iran Deal. Any bad behavior by Iran will be used against Obama and the Democrats.

    The obstructionist faction that seemed hellbent on sabotaging the agreement achieved by the US, UK, Germany, France, Russia, and China with Iran to prevent its following Israel's example in covertly developing a nuclear arsenal appear to have thrown in their grody towel yet again. (It looks suspiciously like the same one they had previously flailed about gender equality in marriage contracts and the Affordable Care Act.)

    Foreign lobbyist AIPAC backed them with a $20 million television commercial propaganda campaign to persuade Americans to surrender to Likud's foreign policy, but they could not thwart progress.

    Nuclear weapons, security, and military experts as well as religious leaders around the world (including in Israel) had voiced their support for the impressive diplomatic achievement.

    Despite the intensive scaremongering and campaign of disinformation, the majority of Americans support it as well.


    Huzzah.

    Nope, if they want to return it to operation, they will.

    I remember a decade or so back being told that North Korea was going to comply and shut down it's reactors and nuclear program. How well did that work out?
