Yes, The World Is Wrong About Iran

Bad Deal: The Obama administration says that it can't have been bamboozled by Iran because that would mean our negotiating partners were tricked too, which is impossible. But they've been fooled before.
Maybe Secretary of State John Kerry and the other P5+1 negotiators should all have been wearing "I'm With Stupid" T-shirts.
They spent over a year and a half in talks and ultimately let Iran intimidate them into a deal that will let the world's leading terrorist regime, with its insane death-wish theology, develop nuclear weapons.
Appearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Kerry was lambasted by Republicans like Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., who told Kerry, "You've been fleeced," charging that he had "codified a perfectly aligned pathway for Iran to get a nuclear weapon," and Sen. Jim Risch, R-Idaho, who accused Kerry of ranking among "the most naive people in the history of the earth."
The best performance may have come from Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, who humiliated Kerry by comparing United Nations Security Council Resolution 1929, which says Iran "shall not undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons," with Kerry's deal, which only says Iran is "called upon not to undertake such activity."
"Why would we accept inferior language that changes the mandatory 'shall' to a permissive 'call upon'?" Menendez asked Kerry. "Can you answer simply: Is Iran banned from ballistic missile work for the next eight years?"
Kerry couldn't answer, and got mad when Chairman Corker answered "no" for him.
The overall response from Kerry to the avalanche of criticism was to say that Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany accepted the deal too, and "they're not dumb."
