Two Hundred Retired Generals, Flag Officers Call on Congress to Reject Iran Deal
Washington Free Beacon ^ | August 26, 2015 2:02 pm | Alana Goodman

Nearly two hundred retired generals and admirals sent a letter to Congress asking members to oppose the Iran deal, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.

The retired officers warned in the letter that the nuclear deal was “unverifiable” and would “threaten the national security and vital interests of the United States” by providing Iran a 10-year path to a nuclear bomb and handing the regime $150 billion in sanctions relief:

In summary, this agreement will enable Iran to become far more dangerous, render the Mideast still more unstable and introduce new threats to American interests as well as our allies. In our professional opinion, far from being an alternative to war, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action makes it likely that the war the Iranian regime has waged against us since 1979 will continue, with far higher risks to our national security interests. Accordingly, we urge the Congress to reject this defective accord.

Earlier this month, a group of 36 flag officers sent a dueling letter to Congress in support of the nuclear deal. The letter was organized with help from the White House, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

200 verses 46. Could be the ratio of the military that will support a rebellion against the DC Cartel.

Meanwhile the headliners in the conservative talk show circut are devoting their shows to defending Trump’s recent kerfufffle with a boisterous Uni-vision star.

It's a nice gesture but it's way too late.

The GOP Senate and Congress threw in their winning hands which gave the Senate power over a treaty and instead gave Obama all the good cards with the Corker Bill. This is all kabuki theater.
