The Obama administration’s nuke deal with Iran got a big thumbs-down Sunday from top lawmakers in both parties.
“I don’t think you make them bargain in good faith by going squishy,” fumed Bronx Rep. Eliot Engel, as he joined a bipartisan chorus blasting the agreement that will slightly ease economic sanctions against the rogue Islamic regime in exchange for a pause of its nuclear program.
“It’s disappointing to me that Iran is still going to be allowed to enrich [uranium] while they’re talking. I would have thought that that should be a prerequisite to any kind of talks,” Engel, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Sen. Chuck Schumer also said he was “disappointed” by the deal that the Obama administration and five other world powers struck with Iran.
“It was strong sanctions, not the goodness of the hearts of the Iranian leaders, that brought Iran to the table,” Schumer said in a statement.
“Any reduction relieves the psychological pressure of future sanctions and gives them hope that they will be able to gain nuclear weapon capability while further sanctions are reduced,” Schumer said. “A fairer agreement would have coupled a reduction in sanctions with a proportionate reduction in Iranian nuclear capability.”

The idiot teleprompter reader doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing when it comes to foreign policy. But if I’m wrong and he does know what he’s doing, then it’s 10 times worse.
Wouldn’t surprise me if when the deal is fully revealed, it’s even worse than that.
Our enemies, both foreign and domestic; positioning to swarm USA.
Forgot to add:
Hurrah to the few remaining member of USA, who are members of USG, Congress and elsewhere!
Oy Vey!!
Agreed. It’s too bad the leaders in the military aren’t taking their oath, to defend the Constitution against all enemies, seriously. A military coup would certainly be justified, but I’m sure most of the real officers with backbone and brains have either left the military or have been recently purged.
What would a military coup in this country look like? I never really thought about it.
It’s a very good deal for hussein and his muzzy brothers.
I’m not completely sure. It would be left to those who took over, but I would bet they would be better for America in the long run, then the current potus.
If you like your nuclear weapons, you can keep your nuclear weapons. Period.
Isael should nuke Iran.
Now.
Engle and Schumer could not be more transparent. New York has more voters who are Jewish than most other states. Duh!
