So, assuming this source supplied the correct document, I don't like it.

With that said, I understand it. I stated on here weeks ago Trump is looking for an off ramp. He couldn't continue and have any chance in the midterms. The Iranian conflict was polling awful and was causing inflation to rise. Also, our allies were not helping which could have released some of the pressure on the US. So, he takes this crappy off ramp more from need. He will try to sell this as a good deal even though he himself, stated he preferred to take Carg Island. The average US voter would not support troops on the ground and the nuts running Iran would have inflicted as much pain as they could while going down.

It will be interesting to see if this "negotiation time" is extended through the midterms and then we finish the job. I mean, it looks like this agreement was already broke in the very first point of terminating all military operations in Lebanon. The Trump admin would be wise to delay release of captured Iranian funds(or the other funds from the region) through the midterms. I am guessing contingency plans and regional support for those are be worked on.

In summary, I don't like it, but understand why he did it.
Trump stated that he isn’t concerned with the midterms but oh yes he is- he knows damn well what’s at stake. He’s trying to get gas prices and inflation down while getting R polling numbers up. curious to see how he handles this whole Iran situation after November.

I am curious also. One other thing Trump used to justify the current deal, the President resurrected the ghost of Herbert Hoover. Mr. Trump is well aware that Iran’s intransigence could cause a worldwide depression that ruined Hoover.

I mean how many suckers voted for him? Wouldn’t you think the “First Black President” would go out of his way to make sure the Black contractors got paid? He’s a total phony.
The old White guy, hid in his cellar and got more votes (as per Drano, every vote was valid.) than Obumma, even with the "conscience" vote !

Plan BW
- import more beavers to the desert
- desalinate water off the coast of California a couple hundred miles away
- put minerals back in desalinated water, because desalinated ocean water isn’t good for crops and has other issues
- ship water that has been desalinated and then re-mineralized hundreds of miles to the desert
- make Arizona more reliant on California, the land of empty reservoirs (during fires) and incomplete billion $ infrastructure projects

Plan rilla
- Stop developing in the middle of the desert where you have to use a sophisticated model of water development
- Encourage growth and development in places that have the most basic needs to survive
This is what proports as a college education these days; misrepresentation of clearly defined options, the lack of additional research before spouting facts not in evidence and more golf.

Beavers are natures dam builders which stops river run off, flash flood damage and increase natural vegetation in a flood plain. Take the necessary time from golfing to study how beavers have been relocated throughout the West and increase surface water AND aquifers.

Desalination plants can be constructed along the California coastline which is where the Pacific Ocean is located.

We agree that Callie is mismanaged in the ENTIRE State for Democratic politicians to line their pockets.

I am sorry that I took a few days off for a short trip with no computer. I find it humorous when something doesn't appear to be going Trump's way, it tends to get louder here. I also exited news while I was gone. Do we have any specifics on the Iran wrap up deal or are we all just speculating?
Please, Please don't tell us that you doubled down on not bringing your computer AND didn't bring a cell phone !

How could you function ? Lost in the wilderness with no Waze, out of gas or electricity with no way to fuel your car. No Mickey D for fast food and rest rooms with no poison ivy !

We are blessed to have President Trump reversing the Democrat desire to make us Europe.

The deranged would have been happy with Kamala further degrading the US
