Even after Senator Chuck Schumer announced that he intends to vote against the Iran deal next month, most political analysts predicted that Congress wouldn't be able to block the agreement. That scenario seems even more likely now that Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has thrown his full support behind the nuclear agreement. Calling the deal the "best path to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," Reid said in a statement released Sunday night, "I strongly support the historic agreement and will do everything in my power to ensure that it stands."
Reid said critics of the deal have "failed to articulate a viable alternative," and it's a "fantasy" to think that a better agreement could be worked out if Congress rejects this one. "This is a good agreement on the merits, imposing the toughest inspections and verification regime in history, and a diplomatic solution is certainly less costly in American blood and treasure than any possible military option," Reid said. "If the Senate rejects this agreement, the international community will not support an attempt to secure another and they will not support the sanctions regime. Those are hard facts."

This is how Obama will achieve the primary goal of his administration: the death of hundreds of millions of Americans.
Thank you, Ted Cruz and other GOP-e for giving Obama this treaty power.
A treaty typically required a 2/3 majority vote to ratify.
Thanks to sellout Republicans, like Cruz, Iran will be enriched economically and will continue to enrich plutonium.
The thing I liked about GWB; I was certain he’d never do anything to hurt Americans. I am equally certain that Obama’s goal it to make America the equal of Tanzania.
Yeah,, like that was hard to do.
The headline could have just as well read: Harry Reid Takes a Sh*t. Probably Thwarts GOP Opposition.
Satan is as demUNs does.
Bob Corker will have the blood of millions on his hands.
Americas enemy till the end
The whole GOP who voted for this as well.
...and they gave Obama this power over trade deals as well.....again, thanks to Ted Cruz, who should have been the leading OPPONENT.
Reid referring to the Iran deal saying”...... “the best path to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon,”...
No dingy Harry, the best path would be to drop a few big bombs on Iran and get it over with.
Corker may have sponsored it but 98 other Senators voted for it.
Is that Harry “Chamberlain” Reid ?
can we get hire his cousin or near kin to kick his ass again?
