U.S. weighs whether to stay in Iran nuclear deal

Am I the only one who thinks we should just leave Iran alone?

The only reason why they, and North Korea have a nuclear program(me), is because they don't want to be bullied by the US
While I'm all for staying in the Iran nuclear deal (as it gives us access and control), your statement is false. Iran wants to wipe-out Israel, and N Korea's leadership needs to justify the shitty life their people have by saber-rattling. We're not bullying either of them (we bully other countries).

I agree with protecting Israel. Why Iran has a beef with them? Europeans in the Middle East. Oh well.

I guess the North Koreans could try and overthrow their leader. That or keep making Simpson's cartoons
 
God bless the NY daily paper writers.

Next time, can we at least elect the second stupidest person in the world? Please?

“It’s very tough, because it’s an island,” “In Texas, we can ship the trucks right out there. And you know, we’ve gotten A-pluses on Texas and on Florida, and we will also on Puerto Rico. But the difference is, this is an island sitting in the middle of an ocean. And it’s a big ocean; it’s a very big ocean. And we’re doing a really good job.”

“Frankly, we’re doing — and it’s the most difficult job because it’s on the island — it’s on an island in the middle of the ocean,” “It’s out in the ocean. You can’t just drive your trucks there from other states.”
 
I've been watching the PBS "Vietnam War" series. It's pretty good. They got to the Nixon years and they've been playing tapes LBJ and Nixon made that prove Nixon colluded with South Vietnam to extend the war to help him get elected, then prioritized his re-election over the lives of US soldiers. Some real f-ing evil on a level that is hard to believe. Back in the 1980s there were rampant far left conspiracy theories about him being this evil, but I had a hard time accepting it. But now it's all been proven true.

So I'm listening to this scumbag lie to LBJ, listening to him construct plausible lies with Kissinger, all to keep his hold on power, all of it killing his citizens, and I feel nostalgia for a time when my President was smart enough to do evil on purpose.

I was already leaning left when GWB took office. I voted for him, but I didn't think he was that much better than Gore at the time.

As someone that served for over 10 years, went to Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War, and two tours in South Korea, I knew well how the government used their service men and women for their own personal gain.

I just didn't think they'd go as low as to lie to the American people about Iraq's WMDs. Bold face lies. And the far right media joined them.

One Marine general figured that out a long time ago
