Me, too, I just made my decision 6 years ago.
It is beginning to look like Obummer needn’t have worked so hard for a deal. He could have gotten less months ago, and, the Russians and Chinese would not have cared. They would not care if Iran had a nuke today, since, it would be aimed at Israel or the great Satan. Like WWII, Stalin’s spies told him Japan had their eye on another target, he did not have to defend the East and could bring his troops to face the Germans. Why the Russians and Chinese think they are immune from Iranian aggression is a mystery.
Wouldnt the GOP have been better off in hindsight by standing firm on the two-thirds obligation required by the Treaty Clause and suing Obama if he ignored it and implemented the deal anyway?Cruz's signature on the scam makes pounding his chest on the anti-Iran deal/Obama is funding terrorists seem pretty hypocritical. Not to mention he's supposed to be some brilliant lawyer on the Constitution...The one he voted null in favor of Obama.Even if they lost the suit, at least Congresss fingerprints wouldnt be on the deal, which would make it easier for a GOP successor to declare upon taking office that the agreement has been a matter for the executive branch since day one and therefore hes fully entitled to dispense with it. As it is, were going to end up with a perverse sort of congressional legitimacy being lent to the agreement once Senate Dems shoot it down on a more or less party-line vote. Obama wont even need to get involved.
To me this is one of the most serious anti-Israel, anti-American, pro Iranian things he could've done
He has some splain'n to do.
GOP declares Cruz responsible for "shutting down the government to prevent raising debt ceiling (which GOP before 2012 election would never happen on their watch), disaster; Obama demand shutting down the government to allow Iran to get the bomb and GOP is silent?????
What's missing here???
BTW - At Steamboat, CO an event and fundraiser for GOP Ohio Rep. Scott Tipton, Boehner spoke and said he "likes how the Presidential Primary is keeping Cruz out of DC because Cruz is a jackass who keeps trying to tell him how to do his job!"
