Whether or not your arguments in #2244 have any saliency is utterly irrelevent.
The only thing that matters since five minutes into this debacle is that it is a complete political loser.
The President has used up his most valuable political capital for nothing, and given the Democrats national defense credibility when they deserve none.
You'd think the geniuses who run this party would have realized that in about two seconds.
Go figure...
You'd think the geniuses who run this party would have realized that in about two seconds.
And as we all know so well, you always work for the political winner.

If your argument is that we should bend the law and international trade agreements to cancel lease deals signed in good faith simply because doing so is politically popular, I can't argue with you on that regard.
I can only be thankful that the President does not share your view of political opportunism over sound policy. Because it is only by chance that what is politically popular would also be what is best for our future.
