Two more Democrats announced support Tuesday for President Obamas nuclear deal with Iran, putting the White House a single senator away from assuring it can prevent Congress from scuttling the agreement and leaving GOP leaders hoping to avoid an even bigger embarrassment of losing to a filibuster.
With about 10 Democrats still to decide, its a lock that at least one of them will back Mr. Obama, giving him the 34 votes needed to uphold his expected veto of a bill to halt the deal.

I can’t believe any of us are discussing this type topic in this depth, huh Doughty. This is all just stunning for a Wednesday afternoon.

I never thought I would see my fellow countrymen allow an Islamic state to obtain nuclear weapons, by choice.
Force the Democrats to go on the record allowing this, financing terrorists to the tune of $150 billion.
Then keep it on the public’s mind until it costs us big-time.
Then watch the public pull them limb from limb.

...allow an Islamic state to obtain nuclear weapons, by choice. Just horrendous. Now we all get to wait this out. I'm sure glad I am not a citizen living in Israel now. Good Lordy!

One thing in Israel's favor... how do you set off a nuke in Israel without killing millions of Arabs?
How do you do it without destroying Islamic holy places?
Imagine if Israel set off a nuke and killed millions of Arabs, and melted down Islamic holy places.
Population figures for the West Bank 1.715 millons (2010) and Gaza 1.816 million (2014).

Watching O’Reilly right now 10/2/15 at 7:10 and O’Reilly just stated live, on air, on his show, that it ......”now looks like Israel and the United States are going to have to attack Iraq.” He is doing an interview with Dick Cheney.
