| Obama: Iran deal is only alternative to more Mideast war |
| 2015-07-16 |
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] President Barack ObamaIf I had a son he'd look like Trayvon... , seeking to sell the Iran nuclear deal to skeptical U.S. politicians and nervous allies, insisted on Wednesday the landmark agreement was the only alternative to a nuclear arms race and more war in the Middle East. Obama made his case in a nationally televised news conference responding to critics at home and abroad after Iran and six world powers sealed an accord in Vienna on Tuesday to restrict Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. "Without a deal," Obama said, "there would be no limits to Iran's nuclear program and Iran could move closer to a nuclear bomb ... Without a deal, we risk even more war in the Middle East." Obama, who must still overcome a congressional hurdle to enact the accord, said that if the United States does not seize the opportunity, "future generations will judge us harshly." The agreement is a triumph for Obama, who has made outreach to America's enemies a hallmark of his presidency, but it is also seen as his biggest foreign policy gamble since taking office in 2009. In his first public comment, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the deal should be scrutinized and legal procedures taken so the other side does not breach it. |

| #5 Here is how the deal is structured (IMHO). 1. Iran goes balls out to get nuclear weapons but can't get them on Obama's watch by most guesses. 2. Israel bombs Iran to stop their nuclear program. Possibly with assistance from Saudi Arabia. 3. The left blames Israel for disturbing the peace and ruining our only chance at peace in the Middle East. 4. Hate Israel goes into overdrive with the left. |

| #4 his biggest foreign policy gamble amble? He doesn't gamble. If it somehow succeeds, he's a hero and if it should not succeed, by whatever standard, it ain't his fault! |
