Iran: Right Wingers Problem - All they could offer was War with Iran (That screwed us in Iraq and they wanted us to do it again?)

Right-Wingers' Big Iran Problem: Was Their Only Solution to Go to War?

Last time, they assured us that invading Iraq would cost us practically nothing -- which turned out wrong.
 
Before too much credibility is lavished upon Republican critics of the Iran nuclear agreement draft, including all of the assorted would-be presidential candidates, someone ought to urge them to explain what they would do instead. And when those critics start blathering, someone should interrupt to ask whether they are actually talking about a simple three-letter word: war.
From the beginning, the familiar faces that favor war over negotiation have prepared their talking points against any eventual deal. But they were surely surprised by the comprehensive, positive and detailed character of the framework announced in Lausanne, Switzerland, by Secretary of State John Kerry. The tentative nuclear agreement includes significant concessions by Iran that will achieve the most important metric demanded by the United States and its diplomatic partners -- namely, to extend the "breakout" period required for Tehran to develop a single nuclear weapon.
