McConnell on Iran Deal: 'Obama Won Short-Term Battle, But We Won the Argument'
Fox ^ | 9/11/15 | Staff

Posted on 09/11/2015 9:18:38 AM PDT by VinL

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said this morning that President Obama will win the "short-term battle" because Congress will not be able to block the Iran nuclear deal.

But he said Republicans, and the Democrats who oppose the president, have "won the argument with the American people."

"There is overwhelming opposition to the deal. The Israelis oppose the deal. Our Sunni Arab allies are nervous and apprehensive now, feeling they can't trust us anymore," he told Bill Hemmer.

McConnell said he believes the issue has a "long shelf life" and that the debate will continue until Americans "render judgment" on Election Day 2016.

McConnell said Senate Democrats have used a "procedural device" to prevent a motion of disapproval, which would then be vetoed by Obama.

House Speaker John Boehner is considering a lawsuit to stop the deal, while Sen. Ted Cruz has proposed going after U.S. banks that release money to the Iranians.

McConnell said he will explore any proposal by his fellow Republicans.

McConnell has blood on his hands. He should be tar and feathered and run out of town...or worse if our Founding Fathers had their way with him. He aided and abetted the Iranian regime to go nuke Israel or the US.

He’s a freakin’ idiot.

If he had called it a treaty, it would have required 67 votes in the senate.

If Iran ever uses nukes, he should be hunted down wherever he’s hiding and put in prison until he dies.

I’m guessing his family has a Jeep card for when we get nuked or just EMP’d.

IMHO any strike against Israel would begin with an EMP against CONUS.

Now we know what it must have felt like in Germany watching Hitler come to power and you couldn’t stop the evil taking over.
