Continue the sanctions until Iran agrees to unfettered access to the enrichment programs and facilities. When we can verify that uranium and plutonium is or has been destroyed and the centrifuges are in Western hands, then we can talk about lifting sanctions.
This is the kind of deal that is designed to help liberals breathe a sigh of relief after the weeks of negative press their fearless leader has gotten over his massive screw ups.

Negotiations for an “interim” arrangement over Iran’s nuclear weapons program finally succeeded this past weekend, as Security Council foreign ministers (plus Germany) flew to Geneva to meet their Iranian counterpart. After raising expectations of a deal by first convening on November 8-10, it would have been beyond humiliating to gather again without result. So agreement was struck despite solemn incantations earlier that “no deal is better than a bad deal.”
This interim agreement is badly skewed from America’s perspective. Iran retains its full capacity to enrich uranium, thus abandoning a decade of Western insistence and Security Council resolutions that Iran stop all uranium-enrichment activities. Allowing Iran to continue enriching, and despite modest (indeed, utterly inadequate) measures to prevent it from increasing its enriched-uranium stockpiles and its overall nuclear infrastructure, lays the predicate for Iran fully enjoying its “right” to enrichment in any “final” agreement. Indeed, the interim agreement itself acknowledges that a “comprehensive solution” will “involve a mutually defined enrichment program.” This is not, as the Obama administration leaked before the deal became public, a “compromise” on Iran’s claimed “right” to enrichment. This is abject surrender by the United States.
In exchange for superficial concessions, Iran achieved three critical breakthroughs. First, it bought time to continue all aspects of its nuclear-weapons program the agreement does not cover (centrifuge manufacturing and testing; weaponization research and fabrication; and its entire ballistic missile program). Indeed, given that the interim agreement contemplates periodic renewals, Iran may have gained all of the time it needs to achieve weaponization not of simply a handful of nuclear weapons, but of dozens or more.

LOL, John "shoot first and ask questions later" Bolton
If he's against it then it must be good.

Depends on the type of agreement. Some require ratification by Congress, some not so much.

An overly simplistic response befitting someone with the grey matter of a Baboon.
This is not a friggen joke you imbecile.
John Bolton is a hard core neo-con extremist who cares more about what's best for Israel than his own country America. .
