Democrats Complain Netanyahu Speech Could 'Undermine' Iran Deal
inn ^ | 2/19/15 | Arutz Sheva Staff

Posted on 02/19/2015 1:57:55 PM PST by Nachum

Nearly two dozen US House Democrats on Thursday urged the postponement of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's planned speech to Congress, claiming the controversially-timed address could "undermine" nuclear negotiations with Iran, reports AFP.

Republican House Speaker John Boehner invited Netanyahu to address a joint meeting of Congress on March 3 two weeks before his country's elections, and the speech, in which the prime minister will discuss the threat of Iran's nuclear program, has led to an outcry from the left in the US and Israel.

Twenty-three lawmakers wrote Boehner urging him to postpone the invitation, which the Republican leader extended without taking the traditional step of consulting with the White House before inviting a head of state citing fears of "interference."

"As members of Congress who support Israel, we share concern that it appears that you are using a foreign leader as a political tool against the president," wrote the lawmakers led by Maxine Waters, top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee.

They said the timing and Boehner's "lack of coordination with the White House indicate that this is not an ordinary diplomatic visit. Rather this appears to be an attempt to promote new sanctions legislation against Iran that could undermine critical negotiations between the P5+1 and Iran."

The United States plus China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany are facing a March 31 deadline to reach a political deal with Iran, that in its current form would let the Islamic regime keep the ability to make nuclear bombs and in return have economic sanctions removed.

Who gives a rats ass what Dems want? Traitors all. If they want a deal with Iran then let them live with the consequences.

If Iran nukes Chicago, San Fran, LA, Boston, or NY etc. then don’t come knocking on my door for help.

Sounds like the deal NEEDS to be undermined.

So look guys - we'll let you keep this one thing you want, but in return, we'll give you this other thing, too. Heads you win, tails we loose! OK? (Wink, wink!)

“Rep Maxine Waters is leading 23 democrat Senators ?”

An earlier article said that her “partners” in writing the letter were Cohen (TN) and Ellison (MN). There must be a joke in there somewhere: “Did you hear the one about the Black, the Jew, and the Muslim?”

One word for you, Donkey traitorous scum: GOOD! Let Netanyahu put some fire under the cowardly pukes that call themselves Senators. The “world's most deliberative body” is nothing but a bunch of spineless, gutless, soulless political hacks cranking out sound bites and playing with themselves. If the shoe fits you, one of the elite 100, stick it where the sun doesn't shine and rotate on it.

Democrats Complain Netanyahu Speech Could ‘Undermine’ Iran Deal>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

America certainly hopes so!

The deal, is no deal at all. It will allow and promote Iran’s refining fissile material while lifting sanctions......just so Obama will have his peace legacy as a Nobel Prize winner....and the world will then promptly go to hell in a hand basket, just like it did in Libya wherein Obamas work destablilized the middle east and Africa.

There is nothing that Obama touches where he does not create instability....HAVE YA NOTICED ??????? He’s a fu**ing fascist, bent on the dis-assembly of America and creating instability around the world.

( HopenChange....Buahahahahahahahaha! What a joke. Tell it to the families of the decapitated Coptic Egyptians!)

We are CHEERING Nethanyahu on, quite understandably so.

GO Bibi GO!!!!

There is no agreement, there is not going to be an agreement. Obama is paying Iran $700 million a month to develop their atomic bomb.

It detonates because they have figured out the trajectory now. Launching from where Iran has been playing around and letting the payload get up 300Miles sends that package straight up our southern side where coincidentally Obama ordered our southern monitoring "suspended".
As well, the NORKs have three sat's in "orbit" not doing a damn thing and no one knows what they are really doing up there. Some say they are tumbling out of control, others say for tumbling out of control, they sure keep pretty steady.

” Obama is paying Iran $700 million a month to develop their atomic bomb.”

Do you have a source for this? I believe it, but would like to read up on it. Any idiot should see Obama wants Iran to have the bomb.

I believe it is more sinister than this. I really believe he wants Iran to have a nuke.

Bibi isn't undermining the deal, this is Poll: 77% of Americans See a Nuclear Iran As a ‘Critical Threat’ (Gallup poll undermines Zero) Americans vote. If Bibi makes the case that a nuclear Iran is a threat, that's a problem. The Dem way, silence him.

Did the senators go outside the appropriate channels of communication by not going through the head of the Senate with this communication? This is an outrage that they by-passed the Senate Leadership. Even the president of the Senate, Joe Biden would only give the democrats 45 members, thus only 1/2 signed this document, the other breaking ranks with the White House.

The negotiation right now is over whether Obama gets a kiss in the morning or an envelope with a half million Iranian rials left on the dresser on the way out (Obama isn’t smart enough to get the traditional envelope beforehand)

This is routine and happened several times during my time at the US Embassy Tel Aviv between 2004-2006. Intelligence picks up chatter and makes these decisions. This very moment, Syria is moving tanks and Iranian Rev. Guards into the Golan - it may be war from three sides within days or hours, depending on diplomacy and the snow....
