Dealing with dingbats

 Having the Obama administration negotiate a deal is not so different than having a spoiled rich kid negotiate the price of a prostitute. All the Obama administration wants is the deal; all the kid wants is sex.

In the end, they will both be screwed.

But along with Obama, we also stand to lose a lot and Israel stands to lose it all. Iran has made their anti-Semitic intentions known worldwide and our so-called president seems to be on the wrong side on this issue.

Obama is saying that the skeptics and our allies should back the deal (which is really just a preliminary agreement without even a handshake) because it is a "forever agreement" that would block the steps for Iran to develop a nuclear weapon, and it that it would allegedly set tough international inspections with no end date.

Energy Secretary and frustrated piano virtuoso, Ernest Moniz, made a White House appearance. "I want to say this is not an agreement for 10 years or 15 years or 20 years. It is a long-term agreement with a whole set of phases," said Moniz as he brushed back his Lord Fauntleroy quaff. "And if Iran earns over this time period trust and confidence in their peaceful objectives, well then over time the constraints will, in phases, ease up, but never get lower than the additional protocol and all of the access that it provides."

Think of Moniz, a nuclear physicist, as you would Sheldon Cooper of the Big Bang Theory. Imagine Sheldon negotiating with the likes of Iran, a country who calls for Death to America every Friday morning and seeks the total annihilation of Israel.

 "So that's the way we're thinking about it," Moniz said. "It's not a fixed-year agreement. It's a forever agreement in a certain sense, with different stages."

That 'certain sense' he speaks about, is likely dependent upon the time frame that Iran takes to violate the deal in secret.
 
So now you understand why this deal would in all probability end in a big bang, but not in theory.

In any case, the deal supposedly includes a) a commitment by Iran to reduce the number of its centrifuges by two-thirds and enrich uranium with 5,060 of these centrifuges for 10 years; b) a commitment by Iran not to enrich uranium at the Fordo facility (where they did so in secret) for at least 15 years; and c) a commitment by Iran not to build any new facilities to enrich uranium for 15 years.

I could go on, but my unicorn just arrived and I have to be heading out to Andromeda.
