The Obama administration estimates that Iranian-supplied bombs killed "hundreds" of American troops in Iraq during the war, and the president himself has explicitly acknowledged that the deal's generous sanctions relief provisions will allow the regime to enhance its world-leading financing of international terrorism. An organization called Veterans Against the Deal has something to say about that:
Sgt. Bartlett calls on Senators to reject the Iran deal
"I was blown up by an Iranian bomb…that's who we're making a deal with. Every politician who's involved in this will be held accountable…A vote for this deal means more money for Iranian terrorism. What do you think they're going to do when they get more money?"
Obama has said recently that there are only two camps: those who support the deal versus those who would prefer a bloody and costly war like the conflict in Iraq. The new ad campaign complicates that, asserting that the deal itself will lead to more war. And the voices putting forth that case do not prefer war; they are soldiers who have had enough of it. The group, Veterans Against the Deal, was founded last month as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, and it does not disclose its donors. Its national campaign starts today, including television ads in states whose members of Congress are undecided on the Iran deal. Lawmakers will vote on it in September...The first ad will go up in Montana, aimed at Democratic Senator Jon Tester. Subsequent ads will air in North Dakota, West Virginia and elsewhere. The group will also send veterans to speak at events in key states.
If you oppose the Iranian nuclear agreement, you are increasing the chances of war. And if you are a Democrat who opposes the agreement, you are also risking your political career. That's the message the White House and some liberal leaders are sending -- and they ought to stop now, because they are only hurting their credibility. I have deep reservations about the Iranian nuclear agreement, but I -- like many Americans -- am still weighing the evidence for and against it. This is one of the most important debates of our time, one with huge implications for our future and security and the stability of the world. Yet instead of attempting to persuade Americans on the merits, supporters of the deal are resorting to intimidation and demonization, while also grossly overstating their case...Emblematic of all this -- and what has prompted me to write -- was the treatment of Senator Chuck Schumer. In his thoughtful statement opposing the deal, Schumer noted that the best course of action is not clear. Reasonable people can and do disagree. Yet rather than acknowledging a respectful difference of opinion, the president's spokesperson and others close to the White House suggested that Schumer's decision may cost him the opportunity to become the leader of the Senate's Democratic caucus. What they should have said is: President Obama signed legislation that gives Congress a voice on any deal with Iran. This debate is far bigger than partisan politics, and personal political considerations should play no role in deciding it.
The real enemy is the feckless fool on the hill.
Obama: “Oh come on! The Iranians have been doing this for decades!”
Not surprising muslim backs other muslims.
Fools my FRiend, fools
I know it hasn’t been done in the past, but when this idiot leaves the White House, the next true president, assuming it’s not hitlery, should sick his AG on obamas a$$ for the high crimes and misdemeanors he committed while in office. Surely that would keep him tied up in court for at least the rest of his natural life. Ok, somebody come and slap me awake from my dreams.
Active Duty ping.
I’m not sure why ads will be run in WV.IS Manchin going along with the sell out?
Since you are from West Virginia and he is your senator you need to ask him
From CBS
Manchin "leaning strongly" toward approving Iran deal
The same from NewsMax
Manchin Leaning Toward Support of Iran Deal
Also from Arutz Sheva
Democratic Senator 'Leaning Towards' Supporting Iran Deal
There are many more links
I called his office in WV last week. I got a cold reception from the hired help. I need to send him a set of knee pads. No one should have to suffer the indignity of calluses on their knees. ;-)
Hopefully in 2018, he’ll be retired by the voters. Joe already stepped on his *&^% when he jumped on the gun control issue. Lots of West Virginians won’t forget that. Unfortunately the GOP has zip in the way of charismatic candidates.
