Why it's a bad deal:
1) Allows Iran to continue processing uranium at one site -- an underground, bomb-proof site.
2) Doesn't give any details on when or how the sanctions will be lifted, nor if there is something the Iranians must do before they're lifted.
3) Doesn't allow inspections at any designated military facility.
4) It's based on Iran's word.

The last is key, because for years Iran claimed they weren't enriching uranium until a secret nuke facility was found --- Levizan-3, just outside of Tehran.

The obama administration is grasping for some kind of foreign policy victory, because thus far everything they've touched has turned into a dumpster fire. Yet, basing this agreement on a promise from the Iranians will cause another blunder and more foreign policy problems.

Your turn, JD. No just linking to liberal rags. Write out why you say it's a good deal.
