Sen. Marco Rubio has proposed a change to the Iran nuclear review bill that could unravel a carefully crafted compromise and kill the Obama Administration’s negotiations.

Quake Sets Stage for Cholera NBC News At issue is a one-page amendment from the Florida Republican and 2016 presidential candidate that would certify as part of the deal that Iran’s leaders have publicly accepted Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state, a proposal earlier pushed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Earlier this month, President Obama rejected that idea. “The notion that we would condition Iran not getting nuclear weapons in a verifiable deal on Iran recognizing Israel is really akin to saying that we won’t sign a deal unless the nature of the Iranian regime completely transforms,” the president told NPR. “And that is, I think, a fundamental misjudgment. I want to return to this point: We want Iran not to have nuclear weapons precisely because we can’t bank on the nature of the regime changing. That’s exactly why we don’t want to have nuclear weapons.”
Many Republicans support the idea, however, while some influential Democrats, such as New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, have declined to comment on any amendments.
“If it gets offered, that’s a very hard vote because we all support Israel’s right to exist and Iran recognizing that,” says South Dakota Republican Sen. John Thune. “I think that’s awfully hard to vote against but we’ll see how it is structured and if it happens or not.”

But of course that isn't what is happening. What is happening, is we are giving them the ten year window they need to finish development, guaranteeing they won't be attacked by us during that time, or anyone we have influence over.
War with Iran is inevitable. We might as well get it over with.
Would we want IBCM EQUIPPED Iran threatening Washington or New York?

Rubio cannot undo the damage he has done to his reputation scheming with Schumer against the citizens with his Gang.
He’s trying to fool people into believing he’s a conservative. No one who schemes with Schumer is a conservative.
Obama/Kerry will get their way no matter what

What carefully crafted compromise? The one where we agree to do whatever Iran wants, and so do they?
Time must not be keeping up with current events.
No agreement reached with any Islamic entity is worth the paper upon which it is written. All of it is taqiyya.
Taking a slightly different view of the situation; I find it interesting that only when our “representatives” are seeking the presidency do they find their gonads and start pushing back on this crap. The only one I’ve seen who took this stance from the start seems to be Cruz.
We owe them an ass kicking from the Carter administration. That’s just my opinion.
