Obama on cusp of winning Iran nuclear vote

[nuhuh]

I am proud of America today. The Democratic Senators led by President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have shown that dialog and negotiation is more important than war, America takes the head of the table as the worlds preeminent superpower once more, it's a good damn day.

The right does not want war either.
That is the left telling another lie.
This was not a this or war thing. It could have been done differently without lifting sanctions and actual real inspections.

Nope. Republicans want war so that they can reclaim respectability for more than 10 years of poor foreign policy decisions and by talking tough and insinuating war they pick up Jewish votes which they desperately need. Last, by insinuating war they pick up huge amount of donations from the military industrial complex that would profit insanely off another war.

Name any Republican in the House or Senate who said War instead of this treaty.

Besides this guy?

 

[Rocko]

Qassem Soleimani visiting Russia is the latest example that Iran can't be trusted.

Great day for President Obama as he celebrates another victory over the stumbling Republicans

A "great day" for President Shit for Brains always spells disaster for America.

What do they propose instead of this treaty?
Allowing Iran to keep their stockpiles of enriched uranium?

Republicans Plan New Iran Sanctions After Vote on Nuclear Deal - Bloomberg View
Pompeo says new sanctions have a chance of passing, even if Congress can't block Obama's deal.

“We’ve seen 400 votes plus for significant sanctions. This wouldn’t be terribly different from that in substance,” said Pompeo. “The arguments would be the same.”

In the House, Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce already has a new sanctions bill that could be resurrected in the fall. That bill was similar to legislation put forth by Senators Mark Kirk and Robert Menendez, a Republican and a Democrat, during the nuclear negotiations.

Puhleeze. Veto and then you need 2/3 vote of both Houses to override. Not going to happen.

How will that look if a large amount of Dems vote for it along with Repubs?
Dems are just as upset about the lifting of sanctions.

President Strangelove has learned to stop worrying and loves Iran getting the bomb.

Wrong. If Dems were upset they would not be voting for the agreement.

 

[HenryBHough]

It's very important that Congress flush this turd AND that O'Bumbles vetoes it AND that Democrats keep that veto from being overridden.

That way Iran will get the nukes and kill a slew of innocents which will draw attention to the simple fact that it's all on Democrat heads. That should finish them off for a long, long time.

The death of a few million innocents is a small price for the long-term benefit.

 

[Auld Phart]

What does it matter now?
Sen. Barbara Mikulski just stated she would vote for the deal.

What does it tell you democrats, when you just barely come up with the number needed to block stopping this deal?

It tells us that once again, Obama won and conservatives lost

Our country lost.

The world won

Conservatives are standing outside pouting

The World won nothing.

We won ten or more years of a non-nuclear Iran

Republicans won ten more years of butthurt

We won ten or more years of a non-nuclear Iran

It's scary you believe that.

25% doesn't change the vote and if Obama vetoed, they still wouldn't have the votes to override. It is done and it is over.

The only ones screaming WAR are the ones that want this to pass, and Iranian mullahs screaming Death to the US and Israel.

Too funny

Do Republicans ever tire of wasting Congress's time?

They have as much chance of new sanctions as they do of repealing gay marriage

Too funny

The old Republican House and the 2014 Republican elected Congress has given President Shit for Brains about everything he has wanted. Tax increases, more debt and they haven't done a damn thing to defund any of his filthy ass entitlement programs like the disastrous Obamacare. They don't even hold him accountable to any significant degree for corruption and breaking the law like with the IRS scandal. They let him and The Hildabeast get away with Benghazi.

They are even the ones that allowed this stupid agreement with Iran to be voted on in a way to assure his success.

The Republicans are Democrat Light so quit your bitching.

I remember the days of Republicans celebrating their new Congress and all the things they were going to do. I remember the taunts on lame duck Obama and how he would limp to the end of his Presidency as Republicans ruled

Meanwhile Obama has posted one accomplishment after another and the Republican Congress is still looking for its first significant accomplishment

The filthy ass Democrats always promises bad government and when elected they sure as hell deliver bad government.

The Republicans promise good government but when they are elected they usually deliver about the same bad government that we would have got with the filthy ass Democrats.

Senate Dems have votes to hand Obama victory on Iran deal

Guess they think a bad deal is better than no deal at all.

What a shame.

I've heard that a lot. Can you clarify that please? Why is no deal better than this one?

because this deal gives the iranians everything they want, the ability to build nukes, release of billions of dollars, no real inspection provisions (24 day notice, are you fricking crazy?).

Iran will have nuclear bombs, they will probably sell one or two to ISIS.

Now, you asked for the alternative to this "deal". Keep the sanctions in place. Destroy their economy. support the opposition in Iran and help them remove the radical ayatollahs. Support the real iranian people and bring the country back into the 21st century. This deal got us nothing, we surrendered, and you idiots are applauding like jackasses.

The sanctions were going to end. If we did nothing they would end, we get nothing and Iran walks away with the cash. We don't hold enough economic leverage over Iran to sanction them ourselves.
We had four choices.
Do nothing
Take the deal
Bomb them
Invade
Taking the deal doesn't remove the others as options.
24hrs notice for inspectors?
Yes because we all know it's simple to hide your entire nuclear program in 24 hrs.

the inspection requirements are 24 days, no hours. Its a joke

the sanctions could have been continued, we had all the chips in this deal and didn't use them, its called incompetence.

We got nothing in the deal, NOTHING. At least Schumer is smart enough to see through the BS.

The options were not, and are not, the deal or war. Thats simply idiotic.

Sanctions could have been continued by whom?
Who were the players in the sanctions and which wanted to end them? Would the remaining parties have been able to establish new sanctions that were as effective as before?

You say keep sanctions or add new sanctions but you don't say how. As the US doesn't do any business with Iran, how do we sanction them economically? They just will do business with the others who opted not to sanction them.
