1.  "POSSIBLE" that Iran will stop enriching uranium.
bob k ,   orlando fl us   (11.20.13)
Obama and Kerry, EU and Russia are either the most naïve negotiators imaginable or they simply want a quickie deal which does not seriously deal with Iran's threat to Israel. Only Israel is within missile range of Iran so the West is ready to ";trust". Who but a fool or a deceiver would agree to reduce sanctions without a reduction of Iran's enrichment and centrifuges first? The Iranians must be overjoyed at the stupidity of Obama et al. First the Iranians should reduce enrichment and centrifuges then after some time, maybe a few sanctions are lifted. Obama wants to 'show good faith' but it is Iran which has been calling for 'death to America' and 'death to the Zionist entity' since 1979. It is Iran which needs to show good faith by delivering some very tangible decreases in enrichment and capability. How Obama and the others are acting.
2. Wake up to the new reality: it will be rough
Tom W ,   USA   (11.20.13)
"O"'s popularity due to his healthcare fiasco - "Obamacare" - is falling precipitously. Millions of Americans are getting hurt by this amateurish charlatan who is about to destroy the healthcare system, be as imperfect as it might be at this time. The blind worship and unqualified support by the American Jewish elite provokes raging hostility toward Israel: go and read the comment sections on the news page. For the foolishness of the Marxist hotheads the little, hardworking Jews will be punished. For the average Americans not versed in political nuances, the "O" surrounding Court Jews are synonymous with Israel and your future doesn't bode well.
3. In other words...
DemocracyRules ,   Canada   (11.20.13)
The deal is dead. Obama constantly over-estimates his power and influence. Thus, when he says the deal is in doubt, he appears to mean that he has already given up on it.
4. Agreement won't be worth the paper it's written on
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.20.13)
Especially if a match is set to it....
5. US Congress will never lift sanctions, nukes, or no nukes.

6. jews don't dare to attack Iran anyway
Palestinian   (11.20.13)
smart Iran is playing jews who think they can play with themselves
7. Either way, Iran will not get its nukes
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (11.20.13)
A meaningful agreement or taking installations out, are the only two options. With Israel, Saudi airspace, Emirates bases, and France with a VETO, this will play only one way. No agreement will be signed and after a few weeks, sanctions will be stepped up for regime change
8. Obama pretends things are 'not yet settled'...
Ehud   (11.20.13)
...in order to avoid tough questions from the WSJ. It's so much easier to pretend you have a tough stance in front of a newspaper than having one.
9. Unclear !? That sums up Obama's
DT ,   TA Israel   (11.20.13)
Presidency. The only thing clear is weakness and confusion surrounded but lifes failures like John Kerry

country when shit hits the fan. Cities will be paralysed & prone to diseases. In Galilee you could raise chickens and dig a hole to crap in. You won't be able to do it on Shenkin st. Just my thoughts about our glorious, post-Zionist future :-)

Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (11.20.13)
If Congress won't lift sanctions, The One will abolish Congress. It's as simple as this.

13. Lebanon and Hezbollah
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (11.20.13)
Lebanon and the Lebanese People want to adopt a neutral but helpful and mediating approach to the Syrian Conflict Hezbollah are actively involved in the killing in Syria OUT OF LEBANESE TERRITORY Lebanon and the Lebanese People want to adopt a neutral but helpful and mediating approach to the Israeli Palestinian Conflict Hezbollah are itching to drag Lebanon into another destructive war with Israel So who is in charge of Lebanon The news is LEBANON is and will be in charge of LEBANON And even yesterday one more Hezbollah desertion
14. #1 look at history
(11.20.13)
American and Israeli history have strange parallels. When the extreme Left forced the Oslo process on Israel, it was clear the process would not lead to peace, but isolation, death and destruction. Even when buses exploded in the streets Tel Aviv, the extreme Left publically kept saying it was a great idea. Now you have the extreme Left in the US doing the same with the Iranian nukes.
15. Our response
Eli ,   Norfolk, VA USA   (11.20.13)
Since its obvious that O'behaema doesn't give a rat's tuchis about us, let's commit to 30,000 new hows in Judea/Sumaria.

(11.20.13)
Hezbollah are Lebanese people as much as anyone. According to Assad, Lebanon is Syrian territory, so Hezbollah isn't fighting "out of Lebanese territory". The Sunni forces fighting Assad have declared Jihad on Shia, Alawi and Christians and have attacked Shiite villages. Hezbollah is protecting Shiite. The only question is when will the Lebanese admit that SLA was their last chance for independence? When will they admit that because they hated the Jews more than they loved their own dignity, they destroyed the SLA to sacrifice everything just to get the Jew?
17. Obama's wants his legacy
Mad Dad ,   JHB   (11.20.13)
Obama wants to be remembered in history as the president that made piece with Iran and will sign any deal that is put before him - no matter what. He does not give a flying flip about Israel and Netanyahu is an irritating noise - nothing more.
18. Obama's lying again! - this deal is done & dusted.
