Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Saturday that the Senate will take up an Iran sanctions bill in January, setting up a tough vote for Democrats.
During an appearance alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel, Graham said there will be a vote on legislation drafted by Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) in January. The measure would impose additional sanctions on Iran if it violates the interim nuclear agreement or walks away from talks.
"I’m here to tell you, Mr. Prime Minister, that the Congress will follow your lead," Graham said. "In January of next year, there will be a vote on the Kirk-Menendez bill, bipartisan sanction legislation that says, if Iran walks away from the table, sanctions will be re-imposed; if Iran cheats regarding any deal that we enter to the Iranians, sanctions will be re-imposed."

Menendez? The child molester?
:’)
Reminds me of a segment from the movie “Team America World Police”
Hans Blix and Kim Jong-il have this exchange.
Hans: I’m sorry, but I must be firm with you. Let me see your whole palace or else!
Kim Jong-il: Or else what?
Hans: Or else, we will be very, very angry with you. And we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are!
There is an Israel Lobby to oppose Obama in Washington on his Iran policy with Democrats Menendez, Schumer and Feinstein and Republicans like Graham and McCain among others. With the GOP in charge in the Senate and plenty of Democrats supporting Israel one can expect this kind of move against his policy.
Does it mean anything in the long run??????????
