On the Iran deal ?

".....accelerated the moral disarmament of the West … by elevating wishful thinking to the status of political philosophy.”

“a very weak man with a very strong wife and a strong staff” who had become “a useful idiot for.......propaganda.”

“Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.”

The right criticizing Obama's Iran deal ?

Who said the above, about what and whom...were they criticizing ?

The right was wrong in not giving Reagan's deal a chance. The thread is to point out that today's right is wrong in not giving Obama's nuke deal a chance.

pointing out historical parallels can be helpful, but a lot more information is required to make the case than just a couple of quotes.

but that said---there are plenty on the left who are in opposition to Obama's deal here too.
