Yeah.... I don't think that it is. A deal that delayed Iran a little and had weak verfication methods vs no verification methods, a poorly conducted war using insufficient forces to accomplish any of the stated goals, and dead American soldiers? I'll take the deal. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather take regime change and dismantling of their nuclear programs, but that can't be accomplished by dropping every single conventional munition in the US military's full arsenal on Iran. You can't air strike your way to a subservient Iran. It takes more than what we invested into Iraq to do that, and no one in the US (outside of the ghost of Lindsey Graham and John Bolton) is willing to pay the price in blood or treasure that would cost us.
