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

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.

What deal?

Terrorist Iran murdered Americans in WTC Attack 1
and in Lebanon and elsewhere.

Those murders are why the Islamic pRes_ _ent
supports the terrorists (again), and why
the DNC (party of slavers, terrorists and rapists)
supports the Tyrant.

the fraud POS in the WH collaborating with Iran could undermined the existence of Israel. It’s pretty clear that’s what’s going on.

Do these Democrats want to take credit when Obama gives Ahmadinejad the bomb?

Gee, what a damn shame.

Kinda like when Stalin didn’t want anyone to mess up that pact with Hitler.

The speech might undermine Obama’s Iran deal? Let’s hope so.

Here in our little town of Surrendermonkistan, everyone is like a negotiator on a roof, trying to work out the terms of a deal before the other guy pushes you off and breaks your neck.

....

CONCESSIONS! CONCESSIONS!

.....

And who must try to lie, and never pulls it off, until all of the press corps guffaws and lightly coughs?

PSAKI! PSAKI! CONCESSIONS!

....

Who must struggle hard to browbeat all our allies? Betray them for trifles? Kill them one by one? And who has the right as master of the Hut to veto bills when they are done?

THE PRESENT! THE PRESENT! CONCESSIONS!
