You KNOW barry wanted this done during the week of Easter.

We can only hope that the jug-eared despot was as savvy a negotiator as he was trading 5 senior Taliban butchers for a deserter/traitor.   He was pretty proud of that one too if I recall:

Well the only good part it is non binding.. There is no way he will get 2/3 of the Senate to approve this.

If the Senate doesn't approve this, can the agreement go forward with the P4+1 and Iran?

I'm not sure, but here is the thing, the next President can undo this piece of crap.

From the Washington Post: 

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/negotiators-hold-marathon-all-night-session-in-last-ditch-effort-for-agreement/2015/04/02/68334c88-d8b2-11e4-bf0b-f648b95a6488_story.html

A fact sheet distributed by the State Department said Iran agreed to reduce its installed centrifuges by approximately two-thirds — from about 19,000 today to 6,104 — with only 5,060 of them enriching uranium for 10 years. It said all 6,104 would be first-generation machines, not the more advanced ones that Iran has acquired.

The fact sheet said Iran further agreed not to enrich uranium above the level of 3.67 percent for at least 15 years. That level of low-enriched uranium is suitable as fuel for nuclear power plants — Iran’s stated rationale for enriching uranium — but not as fissile material for nuclear weapons, which require uranium enriched to about 90 percent purity.

Iran has agreed to reduce its current stockpile of about 10,000 kilograms (22,000 pounds) of low-enriched uranium to 300 kilograms (660 pounds) for 15 years, the fact sheet said.

The summary said Iran’s “breakout” timeline — the time it would take for Iran to acquire enough fissile material to build one atomic bomb, if it chose to pursue such weapons — would be extended to at least one year, for a duration of at least 10 years, compared to the current assessment of two to three months.

The agreement calls for tightened monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to ensure that nuclear materials or components are not diverted to any secret weapons program.

I think we gave them a pile of cash, too.

In exchange, (see previous post for specifics) world powers will provide significant economic and financial sanctions relief, first with the removal of EU sanctions while US sanctions will be lifted simultaneously with verification of Iran’s compliance. UN sanctions, over which much haggling took place in the last few days, will also be removed but with some restrictive measures remaining.

Who is stopping anything he does? Let us say the Senate doesn't approve. What stops baraaq from doing this anyway? Will the senate go to the WH and have him arrested?  WHO IS STOPPING HIM?

It won't matter.  The EU and UN will stand by it.

So why, may I ask, do you spend so much time and energy posting articles, etc.?  What's your point?

Why wouldn't I keep posting articles?

Mystery asked above:
[[ Kerry at least get the Americans being held in Iran? ]]

I sense that all that Quisling Kerry got was this:

And you do a great job, too!  I appreciate that.  But, please if you could refrain from yelling at me in your posts, I'd appreciate that, too.

The United States has been, in one form or another, negotiating with Iran for a very long time now. What in reality have we gained from all that effort?
