Washington (AFP) - President Barack Obama's Democrats staved off a united Republican effort to sink the Iran nuclear deal Thursday, handing him a welcome foreign policy victory.

As expected, US senators fell two votes shy of the 60 needed to advance a resolution disapproving of the international accord, meaning the legislation aimed at sabotaging the deal is essentially dead.

"The Senate has spoken with a clarion voice and declared that the historic agreement to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon will stand," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said after Democrats cleared the way for the accord.

From what I hear, 'One Eye' Dingy Harry stood in front of every RAT speaker on the Senate floor so that they would cave as he wished.

If there is a pic, you may just see the face of evil.

You can bet Barry has already told his pals not to try to pull any of their BS tomorrow. He needs this “legacy” deal so he won’t look like an idiot when he wears his Mr. T Starter Kit, Nobel Edition, out in public.

The only reason democrats want this deal, is because they believe that it will finally deliver the final solution to the Jew problem

Victory, eh?

[JoSixChip]

Yahoo treats world security like a horse race with winners and looser. They are obviously rooting for the horse named “ progressive one world order”. Too dumb to know that there will be no winners.

If this was a “victory”, they all must be playing in one of those “second string” JV, “Everybody Gets A Trophy” leagues.

It’s not about Obama. Friggin idiots.

Odd the word partisan did not make it into the title.

Gotta love how the AFP characterises the Republican attempt to vote against the deal as “sabotage”.

Dear Harry the One Eyed Weasel,

Your deals could not even stop the North Koreans. Iran will be nuclear before Obama leaves.

"The Senate has spoken with a clarion voice and declared that the historic agreement to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon will stand," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid.

Translation: we will give Iran the means to finish the job al Qaeda started 14 years ago today. NYC will burn in nuclear fire.
