1. coin toss?
David   (07.09.15)
We will know soon of course, but the actions of Obama's secretary of state suggest that an absence of some kind of an agreement is not a possibility. Close observers of Obama may incidentally recall that he has done exactly this sort of thing in the past-- suggesting that he estimates the chances of something that is imminently going to happen, to be relatively low. He said exactly the same thing in the days and weeks leading up to thhr intrrim agreement with Iran. And he also said something similar on the eve of the passage of his health care law. It alpears to be his favorite disarming tactic-- his way of lulling potential adversaries to sleep. I imagine that the concessions that he is prepared to make are so sweeping that he feels that he feels that he stands something to gain by being duplicitous, at this moment, with even the congressional Democrats. But we will all know very soon. Anybody who stands on the side of Israel's defense should hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
2. Obama will decide that his capitulation deal is good

then he will expect the herds to follow him as he has always done.
3. It is well known that Obama prefers the bad 50%

4. Iranians want sanctions relief deal without nuclear stops
(07.09.15)
Iranians don't want the deal that the P5+! need to effectively prevent nuclear expansion , breakout domination and destabilization of the Middle East .The Iranian also deal threatens the stability of long time binding relationships with US . Politically it also condemns the freedom aspiring people of Iran to the forces of repression of Human Rights , and the strengthening of anti - libertarian forces within Iran. This amounts to a betrayal of Iranian aspirations for freedom and reliance and confidence any western security alliances shield.

Devorah   (07.09.15)
Obama doesn't have any standards. Perhaps what Durbin the Shill meant to say instead was "wishes and dreams."

11. Agreed, #7.....just a touch of theatre
Cameron ,   USA   (07.09.15)
We are all too familiar with these sorts of posturing antics put forth by our glorious leader.
12. US WANTS TO SHIFT THE POWER FROM
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (07.10.15)
SAUDI ISIS to IRANIAN ISIS in the hopes of gaining business, friendship. This is all to hurt Russia. The problem is that Israel trusts Saudis more since they don't support attacking Israel. Iranians however have attacked US and Israel with their proxies in different ways in Lebanon.
13. Iranian negotiator trying old tactic of divide P5+1 and rule
