Why do I get the filling the media is trying to find a negative about the Iran deal

Been watching MSNBC and once again I see a trend as usual where these host acting like they have to ask the republicans what they think about the deal.And as usual there all against the deal because a deal to them means a shooting war. Also there's a lot of coverage about Isreal not in agreement.Once again anything the black guy in the White house does is negative

I've been listening to some saying they are going to make sure Obama follows up on the treaty. They sit on their asses for decades, and now that something positive comes along, they are going to make sure the brokers of the deal follow up. Give me a break, those right wing warmongers are full of it.

IS trying to find a negative about the Iran deal. The Media is owned by conservatives; Obama is a black man; conservatives hate black men (especially if in power).

Kerry went there for the closing. After he heard that a lot of progress had been made. On the French requirements. Think "photo-op." He gets the credit for being there, mostly. He'd have been happy with much less. Much less.


It's a short-term deal. Notice that the current horrible situation as of last week followed, by years, a much longer deal. Proof that all that's needed is a deal for immediate happy thoughts all around.

This may actually reduce the stockpile. It may not. We'll see, I guess. Faith is nice, but facts are awesome.


Capping enrichment at 20% is an odd requirement. Until all they want is already at 20%, it's not much of a cap. If they have all they want at 20% already, it's not much of a cap. Unless accompanied by a "no more enriching of anything for you" requirement that I've overlooked.


Even the sanctions that were so important apparently only began according to many, it would seem, in 1/2009. Even though a lot of people complained about them before 2009 and, as they increased in severity, a lot of people complained about them.

How dare you not swallow the Kool Aide!

This is a bad deal. Maybe I'm getting older but we've giving them everything and received nothing but rainbow kisses. This is far worse than the Munich deal Chamberlain 'brokered'.

What was Kerry's role? Show up and take credit. You know this is a bad deal by the countries who are praising it.

We'll see how great a deal this is when a nuke goes off in our country.

I already lived through what I though was a nuclear scare and that was when the Soviets show down KAL007. I could of sworn we were near a nuclear exchange following that for a few months and I had no doubt that Reagan was itching to show the 'Evil Empire' that he was just as crazy if not more.

This came up over night so the only people really prepared to speak are critics.

It's also an easy agreement to criticize because all it is really intended to do is slow down Iran.
