So, how about those talks with Iran?

 
"Mark Steyn’s new column is a must read…"
In Geneva, the participants came to the talks with different goals: The Americans and Europeans wanted an agreement; the Iranians wanted nukes. Each party got what it came for. Before the deal, the mullahs’ existing facilities were said to be within four to seven weeks of nuclear “breakout”; under the new constraints, they’ll be eight to nine weeks from breakout. In return, they get formal international recognition of their enrichment program, and the gutting of sanctions — and everything they already have is, as they say over at Obamacare, grandfathered in.
DEBKAfile; Enough enriched uranium in Iran for 4 nuclear weapons. N-Bomb awaits Saudis in Pakistan  "Saudi King Abdullah and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu were not won over by President Barack Obama's pledges in personal phone calls to the two Middle East leaders last week."

The US- provided nuclear umbrella - hated for so long by Obama's "pacifist" allies on the left - has been removed. Now we will see how dangerous this world will become because of those voters with the "COEXIST" and "Obama" bumper stickers on their cars.

Read this and tell me if Obama and the US are respected in Pakistan:  The Iranian nation stood its ground in front of the U.S., so America retreated.  "What Imran Khan said about the U.S., that it first glowers, but then retreats if you stand your ground, has proved to be 100 percent accurate. The Iranian nation stood its ground in front of the U.S., so America retreated. The U.S. knew that if an understanding were not reached then Israel’s security would be endangered."

Arab News has a much different perspective on US-Iran: "But the game is not over yet. Israel’s influence in the US Congress is still immense, and its Congressional allies are already talking about heaping more sanctions on Iran (in order to kill the deal, though they don’t admit that).
"President Obama could veto those new sanctions, of course, but he will find it a lot harder to get Congress to revoke the existing sanctions if the final deal is done six months from now. That’s why Iran gets so little relief from sanctions now in return for its concessions: Obama needs more time to work on Congress. But Israel may still win this tug-of-war."

: Iran Deal and Munich: A Fair Comparison?  "Is he right? There are those who will claim it is impossible to compare any event with one that is associated with the Holocaust and still win an argument. But whether you think the deal is as bad as Stephens thinks or whether the price of a mistake with Iran is as costly as the West’s miscalculations about Hitler, the real answer depends on whether Iran betrays Obama."

Did you imagine ever seeing a cartoon like this?
 
Iranian Centrifuge Advances   "Iran will be able to significantly diminish its breakout timing within the constraints of the interim agreement." 
Which is in disagreement with the Arab News piece above.
