Obama- "Look guys, we have an important election coming up in 2014, I can't afford to lose the Senate to the Republicans, that would halt my agenda. Here's the deal if you can just slow down your nuclear weapons programs for 6 months I'll release your head nuclear scientist from our custody, I'll allow you to buy the sensitive equipment you need, even give you the 7 billion dollars you need to buy it. I just need to made it appear I'm "doing something" and don't want you to get your nuclear weapons until after the 2014 election, do we have a deal...please?"

Iran even gets to choose what sites are inspected.

Now that is a sweet deal for Iran, which will now march steadily toward nuclear weapons.

But what the heck did Kerry/Obama get out of the deal?

But what the heck did Kerry/Obama get out of the deal?

An agreement that Iran won't announce their nuclear weapons until after the 2014 elections, that's it.

U.S.-Iran negotiations included the release of an Iranian nuclear scientist named Atadodi arrested in 2011 for trying to aid his nation’s nuclear program by circumventing western sanctions. As a sign of good faith during the negotiations Obama ordered the realease of Atarodi . Atarodi is believed to be a vital player in Iran’s missile and nuclear programs. Atarodi was first arrested in California in 2011 on charges that he attempted to purchase dual-use technology that could be used for Iran’s nuclear program, but that was in violation of sanctions against Iran.

Iran says thanks for releasing their nuclear scientist and for the money they've been given so far but they want more before they'll consider slowing their nuclear program down, they tell Kerry to take a hike and return with more in the mean time Iran broke ground for a new nuclear plant and going full steam ahead.

Iran knows Obama in the end will give them everything they ask for because and lie to the American people about he's giving them all to insure Democrats retain the Senate next year...because if the Republicans win, there goes Obama's whole legacy and his agenda. Don't put it past Obama to actually providing Iran with the parts they need to complete their nuclear weapons if they agree to hold off using them until after the elections.

What about American, Robert Levinson who has been held by the Iranians since 2007 ?

His family had received photos as proof he was alive, but they have not heard anything since 2011. The new Iranian president now claims they don't have him and had nothing to do with his kidnapping.
It was said Levinson was a tourist/businessman when he was kidnapped by the Iranians on the resort island of Kish. Now is turns out he was working for the CIA, but was not actually a CIA employee; a violation of CIA rules. He is a retired FBI agent and world traveler, so he had the experience and contacts the CIA could use. His family has been paid off so they would not file a law suit against the US Government.
Up to now the excuse was that the US Government did not have anything to trade for Levinson.
Obama should have demanded the release of Levinson for Atarodi. But bringing him back might prove to be an embarrassment to the Obama administration because the CIA violated a lot of rules using him as a spy. For them its best that he is never found.

True all this happened during the Bush years but now demanding Levinson's return falls on the Obama adminstration and they are just forgetting about him during the making of these deals with Iran.

Obama doesn't give a damn about Americans such as Levinson, he's concentrating on retaining his puppets in the Senate, that's it bottom line. Nothing in the discussions with Iran will stop their nuclear weapons program, in fact the deal provides Iran with the freedom of their chief nuclear weapons scientist (released as sign of good faith from our prison), billions of dollars to use on their program, easies access to the sensitive equipment they need, what does Obama get...a delay in Iran announcing they have nukes until after the 2014 election. Obama knows his actions only assures Iran will get nukes, just as he knew million would lose their insurance plans but both lies help his agenda.

Israel working with Saudi Arabia may make all of this moot in the near future.
