Republicans and Democrats

[The Irish Ram]

I am curious to know, if you are divided on turning Iran into a nuclear bomb assembly line. Keep in mind, that they hate our guts. And that the treaty that Obama has arranged for them, depends on Iran allowing inspections. Without inspections, Iran can do whatever they want with the weapons and as much as the want, as often as they want, and no one will know.

Iran has just decided to not allow inspections. And scratched that part out of the treaty while others gathered around and chanted, "Death to America".

Are there Democrats that think this is a good idea? Do Republicans think this is a good idea? Are we so divided that if a member of one party says this is a good idea, that the other party automatically says it's not? Is either party so devoted that they would agree to a bad treaty, to uphold the reputation or track record of the author of the deal?

The ONLY nuke I want Iran to get is one LAUNCHED from America.

All nukes should be gone with, but does Israel work with the IAEA and allow inspections, nope, so well any country should not allow anytime inspections on their military sights, including Iran, who has not started any wars. We had no right in Iraq and Iran we should befriend. Israel and SA' enemy, should not be ours. "Death to America" they chant is really old and comes from the 1979 revolution. No different than the poster above me saying the only nuke Iran should have is the one we send them(in other words, nuke Iran) Are you kidding me!

Obama's actions aren't surprising, since he won't even tie Iran's sponsorship to terrorism to the deal....

Obama Administration Acknowledges Iran s Terror Ties Amid Nuclear Talks - US News

Despite cooperation in nuclear negotiations that suggests Iran wants to become a responsible international actor, the country continues backing terrorist activity across the Middle East.

The State Department Friday released its annual Country Reports on Terrorism, which called Iran a "serious threat" facing the U.S. and its allies, even though the U.S. is negotiating with the country to ensure its nuclear program is exclusively peaceful.

The Obama administration has emphasized the fact that the nuclear negotiations are separate from other geopolitical matters dealing with Iran, a line repeated Friday by Tina Kaidanow, ambassador-at-large and coordinator for counterterrorism.


"I think we've been very clear that [the negotiations] we consider important. It has a context – a specific context. We think it's essential that we pursue those negotiations," Kaidanow said in a briefing for reporters. "But that said, none of that implies that we would be, again, in any way taking our eye off the ball with respect to what Iran is doing as a supporter of terrorism. We have sanctions in place against Iran specifically related to the terrorism issue. That's not going to change."

Overall, the 2014 report found that terrorist attacks worldwide increased 35 percent and fatalities increased 81 percent over the previous year. Seventy-eight percent of fatalities took place in five countries: Iraq, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria. Attacks have also gotten more lethal, with 20 attacks in 2014 killing more than 100 people, while only two such attacks took place in 2013. The report, which is mandated by Congress, is heavy with details of last year's rise of the Islamic State group and its "unprecedented" seizure of territory.

But it is also riddled with references to Iran's continued support for terrorist activity across the Middle East, mostly through its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force. Iran sponsors terrorist groups Hezbollah in Lebanon, several Iraqi Shia militant groups, Hamas and the Palestine Islamic Jihad

Oh, we should just make nice with Iran. Why didn't someone think of that before?
