The Framework that the USA Congress has no control over.

Secretary Kerry is not the only authority signing this framework agreement. Where does the US Congress actually thing they have something to say about it? Arrogance? That is about the only thing that can occur here. Arrogance and the cartoons of 'let's pretend' we can control Iran.

Here's the full text of the statement on the deal, (click here) read by the EU's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, at a press conference in Lausanne on Thursday afternoon alongside Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.

I'm going now to read a joint statement that we have agreed on with Foreign Minister Zarif and all the others that have been negotiating so hard in these days.

We, the European Union High Representative and the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, together with the Foreign Ministers of the E3 + 3, China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States, met from 26 March to 2 April 2014 in Switzerland, as agreed in November 2013, to gather here to find solutions towards reaching a comprehensive solution that will ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of the Iranian nuclear program and the comprehensive lifting of all sanctions....

One more time. Secretary John Kerry's input is the best hope the USA has to stem the agreement. This is an international agreement. The USA can pass unilateral sanctions and become completely worthless to a good outcome. It can also declare war unilaterally, but, that would only return to the days of "The Bush Regime" and an illegal war. If the other four permanent members to the UN act unilaterally and the USA comes to the UN Security Council to start a war with Iran, other countries will never allow it if Iran is in complicance with sanctions. 

The US Congress is proving to be completely out of control in their politics because that is all that is in play here. The UK, France, Russia and China won't give a hoot about what the US Congress decides is best for their politics.

What is the US Congress going to do, declare war on allies? 

Dr. Ernest Moniz was involved with the framework to bring reality to that document. Anyone commenting outside the profession of Dr. Moniz as if an expert to Iran's nuclear program is making noise and incapable. I don't care who it is. 

...Iran limit its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, after eight days of hugely complicated talks....

The reality and dynamics of the talks in Switzerland cannot be duplicated so others can effectively speak to the agreement. The agreement is the document that has come out from this once in a lifetime opportunity to bring about compliance by Iran with the NPT.

There is no way the agreement can be duplicated. One would have to recruit, quite literally, every person at the table. That isn't going to happen until they come together in June. Each and every permanent country was represented so they could bring their unique sovereign authority to alter sanctions and form the agreement. This Arm Chair Quarterback stuff is nonsense. No one other than those at the table can speak to the finalized framwork. 

I can understand why everything is confidential. They USA's politics wants to devour it. I really think from here out, Secretary Kerry needs to simply call all information is classified. Even after the final document is signed. What is occurring in the USA regarding this document is ridiculous and it is because the right wing political party of Israel are pouting.
