What Are the Experts Saying About the Iran Deal?

[sheshe2]

Let's be honest, when the conversation turns to centrifuges and uranium enrichment levels, we can pretty much count on eyes glazing over for the majority of Americans. So the question becomes, how do we evaluate for ourselves whether or not the Obama administration and our P5+1 partners are in the process of working out a good deal on the Iranian nuclear program?

I'll tell you one thing we can't rely on - folks like presidential wanna be Gov. Scott Walker who promised to nix the whole deal on his first day in office before he even knew what was actually in it. That probably goes for the pearl-clutching antics of Peggy Noonan as well. Overall, I'd suggest that partisan pundits and political candidates are not the ones we need to hear from.

Some folks might be content to trust President Obama and Sec. John Kerry. Based on their records so far, that's not an entirely bad bet. But if you'd like more than that, there's one other group we can look to...the actual experts.

From what I've read so far, Max Fisher does the best job of explaining what has been agreed to so far in a way that those of us who are non-experts can understand. He calls on several experts to evaluate various measures of the deal and comes to the conclusion that the most significant part are the inspections that have been agreed to.

1. It does sound pretty good

I know that the right wing fox news gang will never be able to see that, but then again they can't see anything unless fox endorses it.

I think any time we can prevent another war, it's good. Republicans are showing their true colors by trying everything they can to stop this agreement from being signed. The want war and it's pretty obvious they don't give a damn about peace. The vast majority of this country does not want to see another war where we end up sacrificing our soldiers so the rich oil barons can take control of Iran's oil, and control the flow of that oil. Right now they don't want to see anymore oil on the market since it will most likely increase the drop in prices, and prevent them from manipulating the prices back up. Republican in congress are doing as they are told by their rich donors, and they don't care about anything else.

I truly thank president Obama and John Kerry for what they have done.

2. Thanks Andy, agreed.

This is a huge step forward. The GOP and chickenhawks that want war so badly can fight it themselves.

Iran and many around the world are cheering this President and SOS Kerry and his team. Touche!
