The ongoing battle between Obama and Senate hawks on Iran sanctions seem to be coming to a head, with a strong majority now behind the sanctions bill that would effectively kill diplomacy with Iran.
With 50 senators co-sponsors earlier this week (now 53), 58 are now committing to vote in favor bill, even as President Obama urges delay and threatens to veto any such resolution.
Though Majority Leader Harry Reid (D – NV) was aiming to just delay the vote for the time being, a majority co-sponsoring a bill makes it tough to ignore, and is nearing the level of a veto-proof majority that could overrule Obama and kill the talks.
The interim P5+1 deal obliges the US and other P5+1 members not to pass any new sanctions against Iran. Supporters of the bill have included a number of opponents of the deal, and with heavy support from Israeli lobbying factions, they aim to sabotage the pact after the fact.
We are about to learn who rules the United States: Israelis or Americans.
Who the hell are the “Israeli lobbying factions?” Sound like the same bunch of illegal immigrants Obama promised to deport.
I think this will officially show the world….that the US/israel are the worlds worst countries.
that the US senate is so unable to get out from under the isr lobby's boot on its neck is telling
build them nukes Iran that is what they want you to do…
Good job, US senate. No deal with the Iranian mass-executing, "Death to America" Mollah Regime.
So give the American war decisions over to Israel? In the event she starts one with Iran that means America fights no matter what? And does that make Nettanyahu and Emperor?
What an asswipe.
First of all, I love your manners. Second of all, the "Death to America" Mollah Regime has engaged in hostile acts against the US since its filthy inception 34 years ago. If you want to obsess about the Jooooz (oops, I mean "Zionists"), that's your business. But, I think accommodating the Mollah Regime with a regime-saving deal and letting them leep their nuclear program is bad for the US and bad for the Iranian people.
Killing the talks means going to war. Are they really that crazy ? Senators turn out to be stupid, bloody fools if they want to pave the way for war in this way.
There you go and proof positive, the Imperial US Senate is Israeli occupied territory.
This is such lunacy.
This is such lunacy.
Shoot everyone of those traitors
Americans need to do more than complain about this issue; a line is being crossed…Russia should prepare massive support for Iran, or they will be after Russia (yet again) in no time at all.
Russia & China should help the USA's & Israel's enemies build WMD's so the USA & Israel no longer mess with them.
