Maybe it's just "me," but I'm very suspicious when people brag about deals they've made.
What's a deal?
There's an illegal or shady connotation to the word deal, like in drug deal or to deal meaning being in the illegal drug business.
The fact that United States President Barack Hussein Obama keeps on repeating the word "deal," rather than a more neutral or professional or safer word like "agreement" really makes me suspicious. Actually it confirms that there's something crooked and unsafe in the deal. There's nothing in it to stop the Iranians from achieving their aim to develop nuclear weapons, it just hopes to slow them down at best.
May Gd save us from these politicians. It's the 21st Century's version of Chamberlain's Munich Agreement.
"This deal offers an opportunity to move in a new direction," Obama said. "We should seize it."
Under the deal, sanctions imposed by the United States, European Union and United Nations will be lifted in return for Iran agreeing long-term curbs on a nuclear program that the West has suspected was aimed at creating a nuclear bomb. (Reuters)
"Every pathway to a nuclear weapon is cut off," Obama said, claiming it provides for extensive inspections. "This deal is not built on trust. It is built on verification." (Fox)
