We have provided Congress with all the documents we drafted or were part of drafting, and all the documents that have been shared with us by the IAEA.Wait a minute. There are docuuments the IAEA has not shared with the Obama Administration? Yep. Even John Kerry hasn't seen the text of the side deals between the UN and Iran, and yet the White House is asking Congress to vote on the full deal knowing full well that no one in the U.S. knows what's in these side deals. Can I ask a question? What exactly did we get out of this deal? Iran gets nuclear weapons (in spite of what Obama keeps insisting). Iran doesn't have to give us anytime/anywhere access to their facilities. Iran gets to keep shipping arms anywhere it wants in the world, and acquiring arms from anyone it wants. Iran gets its assets unfrozen. Iran can use its money to fund terrorism. What did we get? Nothing. We didn't even get our hostages back. Why in God's name would Obama and Kerry agree to this deal? I've been involved in thousands of negotiations and if I ever agreed to a deal this bad I think I'd retire in shame, since I would have to have completely lost my touch. The only reason I can think of is that Obama just wanted some deal, any deal, so he could claim it for his "legacy" and more importantly so he could claim the Iran issue was settled and people wouldn't bother him about it for the remainder of his presidency. That's hardly what you'd call leadership, but it's consistent with the track record of this president.
