Iran, The Big F***King Deal

++The Iran nuclear deal, even if it came undone--either by the US or Iran--as of today puts Tehran at least 10 years away from a nuclear weapon. The enriched uranium has been shipped out of the country,the ASRAK facility has been filled in and Forduz has been closed down. Ernest Moniz e-mailed me today like many others that the Iran nuclear deal is a reality today. This is of enormous geopolitical consequence. And, yes, it may shift power in the Middle East away from Saudi Arabia.

++I can't help thinking that President Obama has left us with a roadmap for the rest of the century with this deal and the Paris Climate Change agreement.

++The families of the freed Americans totally refute the criticisms of President Obama. They said early on his was in constant communication and would update them on the secret talks and finally they were notified their relatives would be released today. 

++The Republicans blasted Obama for leaving out the jailed Americans while he was negotiating. It simply was not true and in fact it took 14 months of negotiating for him to achieve today.
