Conservative heads explode over Iran nuclear deal: “A lot of innocent people will die because of this deal”

A win for diplomacy is a loss for conservatives

SOPHIA TESFAYE

President Obama announced that the long-awaited nuclear deal with Iran was struck early this morning and conservative Twitter was quick to react with its’ usual outrage:

Oh so now we won't get blown away by Iran's nukes tomorrow. It will just be next week.

Okay. Deal? #IranDeal

1. They did the same thing to Reagan when he talked to Gorby

"But the same 'Reaganites' who will bash Obama for compromising with Rouhani once bashed Reagan for compromising with Gorbachev. As late as December 1987, Charles Krauthammer was writing that 'the fundamental misconception about Gorbachev is that he has somehow broken the ideological mold.' Until virtually the day the Soviet empire collapsed, Rep. Dick Cheney was calling glasnost a fraud. In 1988 George Will accused Reagan of having 'accelerated the moral disarmament of the West ... by elevating wishful thinking [about Gorbachev] to the status of public policy.' When Reagan brought the intermediate missiles deal to Congress for ratification, a right-wing group called the Anti-Appeasement Alliance took out newspaper ads comparing Reagan to Neville Chamberlain.

"Musing in late 1987 about the opponents of his nuclear deal, Reagan declared that 'some of the people who are objecting the most ... whether they realize it or not, those people basically down in their deepest thoughts have accepted that war is inevitable.'”

2. Bloodthirsty warmongers all.

They want to bomb Iran regardless.

They are evil, like Netanyahu.

3. A lot of innocent people will die because of this deal

That possibility or liklihood has never mattered to them before, with any other issue.

Why would I imagine, for even a nanosecond that it would be a genuine concern now?

That is purely a rhetorical question.
