1. I am lucky to be the first to kick and rec....no text...

[onehandle]

2. It's a victory for the Obama administration, including John Kerry and Hillary Clinton. nt

[Stuart G]

3. I agree with you completely...well stated....

[Botany]

5. Big Props to Sec. of Energy Ernie Moniz too

[BeanMusical]

7. Hillary Clinton is not part of the Obama administration. n/t

[Zorra]

8. Yes. She shouldn't take credit for the accomplishments of others,

or be given credit for the accomplishments of others.

It's so totally tacky.

She hasn't been SOS for almost 2 1/2 yrs.

Sanders Statement on Iran Nuclear Agreement
Tuesday, July 14, 2015

WASHINGTON, July 14 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today issued the following statement after President Barack Obama announced a nuclear agreement with Iran:

“I congratulate President Obama, Secretary Kerry and the leaders of other major nations for producing a comprehensive agreement to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. This is a victory for diplomacy over saber-rattling and could keep the United States from being drawn into another never-ending war in the Middle East. I look forward to learning more about the complex details of this agreement to make sure that it is effective and strong.”

6. Thank you for providing Bernie's full statement. Would have been nice for Bloomberg to

at least post that much in it's entirety.

9. Thanks for posting Bernie's

remarks. And I like the fact that he mentioned "other major nations" in this deal. That appears to be something the pundits are ignoring so far.

11. Typical MSM bullshit.

They want to paint this agreement as bad (poor MIC doesn't get it's longed for MAJOR war) so want to put it squarely on Obama. After all, they think most of their base just doesn't trust the black man. They can't say international coalition, because that might make it sound actually legitimate and that doesn't fit their desired narrative of "all war, all the time".

12. That is a big problem. The GOP wants people to believe that this is a deal by only Obama. nt

14. he sounded presidential

i could get used to that

[kelliekat44]

10. One thing for sure is that the world has more access to Iranian nuke activity than to that of

Israel. A real boost for diplomacy. I hope it brings us closer to peace for the ME and some kind of prosperity for the Iranian people. I lived, worked with, and went to school with Iranians over the years since 1960. I have found all of them to be extremely intelligent, tolerant, and spiritual and compassionate people. I can only speak for the ones I have met...but then what else can one go by?

17. Suspicious

Suspiciously sound like most folks I've met from around the world. Hmmmm....

[restorefreedom]

13. meanwhile at fox news

obama and the dems give iran a pathway to making weapons and destroying israel.

or something

[d_legendary1]

15. Glad you made it back in one piece

The Fox hole is not a place to dwell for too long.

and come back quickly. sometimes when i am really adventurous i check out that "other" political discussion board

[tazkcmo]

18. Thank you for your service. n/t
