But that would require that the Security Council approve a resolution and agreement that violates previous SC resolutions that ban any nuclear enrichment by Iran.
Jeb Bush POS.
So typical, they just want an “agreement” so they can say they have an “agreement”. Who gets nuked is not an issue.
You got that right. He was once described as the smart Bush. I think we were lied to about that.
The RNC wants an amnesty candidate.
Most of the GOP, and especially these jerks right here, just absolutely repulse me.
Ooooooooo, that’s a keeper.
Jeb was done long ago. He’s now burnt to a crisp.
James Baker has a long standing reputation for hating Jews. It goes back decades.
...or Rand Paul, either
Man Baker’s an old fossil from the past, reminds me of 1992.
So Jeb Bush and the GOP take the antiSemitic
side of the Moslem Tyrant.
Is anyone really surprised?
Bush / Clinton 2016!
Clinton / Bush 2020!

I heard Bob Corker, Republican Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, speak of a “good deal” with Iran as opposed to Obama getting a “bad deal”.
How about “no deal” with a government America should never trust....
