Move ensures landmark Obama victory
WASHINGTON —Maryland Democrat Sen. Barbara Mikulski is 34th senator to support Iran nuke deal, ensuring landmark Obama victory.
Mikulski on Wednesday issued the following statement in support of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action international agreement to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons:
"In accordance with the law, Congress has been reviewing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action for the past 45 days. I have spent countless hours reading, being briefed and pouring over the intelligence. I have diligently worked to make an informed decision, one that weighs risk and considers a future 10, 15, 25 years from now. Without question, this vote is among the most serious I’ve taken. This vote has monumental and enduring consequences.
"Throughout my review of this deal, my questions have been: How does this deal affect the safety and security of the United States? And how does this deal affect the safety, security and viability of Israel?
"For all my time in both the House and Senate, I have been an unabashed and unwavering supporter of Israel. I have persistently supported the sanctions that brought Iran to the table. I have been insistent on foreign aid and military assistance to Israel that maintains its qualitative military edge on missile defense. With the horrors of the Holocaust in mind, I have been deeply committed to the need for a Jewish homeland, the State of Israel, and its inherent ability to defend itself. And for the United States to be an unwavering partner in Israel’s defense. I have been and always will be committed to those principles.

It’s all up to you now, Bibi. Godspeed!
“For all my time in both the House and Senate, I have been an unabashed and unwavering supporter of Israel.”
“Now, I’m ready to see them blown up with an Iranian nuclear weapon”. “Because I’m a dimbulb”.
Indeed.
And the treason began with the Senate leadership — flipping what should have been a 2/3 approval requirement onto its head.
What a world. This stop Iran Rally had better be something more than a primary pep rally. We can’t wait until 2016. 100 billion will go strait to terrorism. Refuse to pay. Shut the government down. Where are our leaders?!
I think a bunch of those 34 senators are bluffing. If not, we need a crystallizing catharsis anyways.
Bibi already knew where this was going. I am sure he has a plan or has been working on one for some time. He is not surprised.
With 100 Senators, how does 34 make a win?
Pardon my ignorance and confusion, but:
1. How is 34 votes out of 100 significant?
2. If this is now a done deal, is next week’s Cruz/Trump rally an exercise in futility, if not cancelled.
Never mind, the light bulb just came on.
Breaking? Yawn ...
The carpet muncher has been bought!
You just need a little help from the Republicans.
Could you explain it to me? I don’t get it.
This is an awful betrayal of Israel, but fits into the prophecy of the Shemittah.
Obama changes the name of a mountain for her and she sells out Israel? I knew there was a reason I don’t trust the GOPe.
Please enlighten me. I asked the same question.
Because we have gutless toothless RINOs in congress who claim to have a majority, but won't stand for anything other than sucking up to the Deamoncrats!
What is the going price for the purchase of this vote?
This is the undeniable truth that must not be lost on all of us.
Why in hell did this happen in this way?
