Secret Agreement With Iran?

Greta Van Susteren on the Iranian agreement

Think about It!
     Ayatollah Khomeini knows all the details of the plan.
     Iranian President Hassan Rouhani knows all the details.
     100's of negotiators from both countries know all the details.

Yet according to the 'The New York Times' (09/09/2015), "Conservative lawmakers claimed that the White House had not disclosed secret side agreements on the deal... The Republicans led by Mr. Roskam and Mr. Pompeo asserted that there had been secret side agreements between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency, which will help enforce the nuclear agreement, and that the text of those agreements had not been disclosed to Congress.".

Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma posted what he claimed was "The Entire Agreement". However suspicions remain neither we nor Congress may know what kind of side deals might have been made.

What this all boils down to is a matter of trust. Who can we trust?
     The Whitehouse that it didn't make side deals?
     Iran that it will live up to whatever it is they claimed to have agreed to?

"What the Iran Nuclear Deal's
"Secret Agreement" Means for Oil Prices"




Seems to me there's a lot of reasons why most people aren't willing to accept anyone at their word. Far too many times these agreements like previous trade agreements end up biting us in the butt.

Perhaps this agreement might be more about money then we are led to believe?








Either way I feel once the lid is opened on Pandora's box it can't be shut. Iran will develop nuclear bombs either way. The best we can hope for is by talking to them and they to us it's offering at least a glimmer of hope. It's better then letting China and Russia be the only ones speaking to them. They both have been working backdoors with them for a few years.

It seems to me turning a deaf ear or one's back to a possible enemy government thus ignoring them isn't a very good choice either.

Final Thoughts
Let's not confuse the Iranian people themselves with the government they're stuck with. Most of the world's problems are created by religious and government leaders. Not the everyday people who just want to be left alone to go about their daily lives. I'm most certain all of us have that in common. We see an example of that with the mass exodus of the Syrian people trying to flee not wanting anything to do with all the killing and slaughtering. The world is not black and white. Average Iranians are not our enemy anymore then we should be theirs.

This was true back in the days of Vietnam just as it is today. Farmers, laborers and families who get drawn in and fall victim to those who walk among us who seek only bloodshed and unending wars. What a terrible shame so many peaceful people become labeled as enemies of one another because they just so happen to be born in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Such are the illusions that plagued mankind throughout history.
You'd think by now....
