Rice: Iran deal is a good one

As negotiations between Iran and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany continue, the President's National Security Adviser Susan Rice tells Wolf Blitzer that the deal on the table is "a good one." Specifically, she says, it will roll back the Iranian nuclear program in key respects over a six-month period while increasing the transparency surrounding the program so that the Iranians "can't sneak out or break out." And while some question easing sanctions on Tehran, Rice says the "sanctions architecture" will remain in place so that the relief will be "limited, modest, temporary, and reversible" - less than $10 billion in total.

    IF 'all' of this has been about keeping the Persian Gulf safe - then it's OK. Demographic shifts call for democracy to ease changes in local laws recognizing new customs. With Pakistan, rattling their cage now that they are in possession of nuclear potential is definitely OK! Just hope you are advising 'their' leadership as to why some OUR noise is occurring.

    Deal is a good one?!
    For who? For regime that is being collapsed?
    Give them money and time to survive and plan to make the bomb in hidden tunnels?

    Prior to any agreement ask Iran to have a referendum in Iran with UN monitoring:
    – Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei regime- Yes or no?
    – 1) Atomic bomb or 2) democracy and freedom? 1 or 2
