White House Begs GOP to Drop Tough Stance on Iran Nuclear Deal
breitbart.com ^ | 3/15/15

Posted on 03/15/2015 2:19:41 PM PDT by cotton1706

White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough wrote a letter on Saturday night to Senator Bob Corker (and the rest of the U.S. Congress) on behalf of the President regarding the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran.

In the letter, he demands that the U.S. Senate — which has constitutional authority in treaty making — must step back and let the White House navigate the diplomatic realm with Tehran. The White House argues that the deal is facing imminent collapse because the Congress, by continuing to promote sanctions against the terror regime, will supposedly push Iran’s “hardliners” over the edge and force them to leave the negotiating table.

McDonough appears to ensure Congress that they will have a say as part of the final negotiations with Iran.

“We agree that Congress will have a role to play — and will have to take a vote — as a part of any comprehensive deal that the United States and our international partners reach with Iran.”

“The White House argues that the deal is facing imminent collapse because the Congress, by continuing to promote sanctions against the terror regime, will supposedly push Iran’s “hardliners” over the edge and force them to leave the negotiating table.”

And what does that tell you, White House? Is it possible that it’s telling you that the hardliners have the ultimate control, and thus cutting a deal with Iran is crazy?

Too bad Skippy in the White Mosque keeps saying the opposite. Maybe there is some dissension in some White Mosque quarters? ValJal is going to have a muzzie-fit over this comment.

Most likely that there is not going to be a deal so they are trying to make a setup whereby they can huck the turd over onto the shoulders of the GOP.
Personally, I hope there is no deal. Then if we can survive for a few more months, and elect a Conservative, then move forward with military action against Iran’s nuclear sites.

Gee, maybe the Senate should have been kept in the loop since they have Constitutional authority.

No deal is better than a bad deal - which is all O'barry and his collection of clowns and misfits are capable of securing.

How about a compromise, Obama abandon his exhaustive ‘immigration’ policy, and Congress will step back from foreign relations.

Althou such a deal may end in the nuclear destruction of a few major American cities, that is perhaps better than the foreign cultural replacement of the American population by uncontrolled flood, of non-assimilate, legally non-submissive and disloyal invaders.

Rock and a hard place, and I think we can at least step around the rock.
