Obama Will Be the Only Person Sticking to Iran Deal

Sometime this week, President Obama is scheduled to sign an executive order to meet the Oct. 15 "adoption day" he has set for the nuclear deal he says he has made with Iran. According to the president's timetable the next step would be "the start day of implementation," fixed for Dec. 15.

But as things now stand, Obama may end up being the only person in the world to sign his much-wanted deal, in effect making a treaty with himself.

The Iranians have signed nothing and have no plans for doing so. The so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) has not even been discussed at the Islamic Republic's Council of Ministers. Nor has the Tehran government bothered to even provide an official Persian translation of the 159-page text.

The Islamic Majlis, the ersatz parliament, is examining an unofficial text and is due to express its views at an unspecified date in a document "running into more than 1,000 pages," according to Mohsen Zakani, who heads the "examining committee."

"The changes we seek would require substantial rewriting of the text," he adds enigmatically.

Since it IS a treaty and it has not been approved by a supermajority of congress as stipulated in the constitution; it is only binding to the people that sign it.

As we have told the Iranians before the deal was agreed to, the supermajority would not agree to it.....

They knew going in to the deal that it isn't a real deal...let's hope the next president isn't a POSOTUS like the current one and tells the Ayatollah to go Mohammed himself!

Well, he IS the only idiot in the room who would agree to whatever the crowd wants...

No wonder.

It's the election season. They all want votes and will tell the gullible voters what they want to hear.
