US Iran negotiators talked us into dangerous deal

Since it is impossible to fully understand president President Obama's deal with the Iranian mullahs due to side agreements and other unknown deals involving secret handshakes, let's consider it from a common sense perspective:

▪  Remember the adage, “you can't make a good deal with a bad man.” Iran's leaders appear to qualify as “bad men.”

▪ Remember that these same negotiators released five Taliban warriors in exchange for one army deserter.

▪ Consider whether you trust President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry's in-depth knowledge of Iran or Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's.

Make up your own mind and contact your congressman and let him know what you think.
