Oh! It's about the best interests of the US and the interests of Israel?
Ok. I guess that is why Netanyahu was invited

ROFL. Ironic post is ironic.
You lost me...You say no, but then you go and contradict yourself.
So how did they violate the Logan act?
Hardly...
Merely acting within the framework of their mandate, to counterbalance a misguided executive, and to prevent that executive from doing even more damage than he's already done...
Did I say anything about Israel or Netanyahu?Oh! It's about the best interests of the US and the interests of Israel?
Ok. I guess that is why Netanyahu was invited
And, cannot the interests of the United States and Israel overlap or coincide, in this context?
Many believe this to be the case.
When the Supreme Leader of the Iranian religious autocracy publicly denounces the terms announced by the United States, to be inaccurate, and/or a downright lie, well...
And given that we are dealing with religious fanatics who routinely encourage martyrdom and who are aggressively pursuing Shia Militarism throughout the region...
Well, mine good colleague, it doesn't really take much of a crystal ball to predict such things (as a No-Deal scenario) in advance, does it?
Pretty much what the Pubs expected of the Iranian ayatollahs all along.
That's not crediting them with an over-abundance of ability to predict the future...
Just more common sense than your average fourth-grade elementary school unicorns-and-rainbows school-child...
Something regrettably and embarrassingly lacking in the Obumbe Administration... in either the White House OR the State Department...
Your boy screwed the pooch, the Pubs called it, and now you're upset...
As you should be...
But at the wrong people...

Considering Obama negotiated without the permission of the congress then Obama should be put in jail. The only problem with that is that the citizenship status of Obama might become a plausible defence.

Executive Agreements
In addition to treaties, which may not enter into force and become binding on the United States without the advice and consent of the Senate, there are other types of international agreements concluded by the executive branch and not submitted to the Senate. These are classified in the United States as executive agreements, not as treaties, a distinction that has only domestic significance. International law regards each mode of international agreement as binding, whatever its designation under domestic law.

Executive Agreements
In addition to treaties, which may not enter into force and become binding on the United States without the advice and consent of the Senate, there are other types of international agreements concluded by the executive branch and not submitted to the Senate. These are classified in the United States as executive agreements, not as treaties, a distinction that has only domestic significance. International law regards each mode of international agreement as binding, whatever its designation under domestic law.
The challenge of obtaining two-thirds vote on treaties was one of the motivating forces behind the vast increase in executive agreements after World War II. In 1952, for instance, the United States signed 14 treaties and 291 executive agreements. This was a larger number of executive agreements than had been reached during the entire century of 1789 to 1889. Executive agreements continue to grow at a rapid rate.
In recent years, the growth in executive agreements is also attributable to the sheer volume of business conducted between the United States and other countries, coupled with the already heavy workload of the Senate. Many international agreements are of relatively minor importance and would needlessly overburden the Senate if they were submitted as treaties for advice and consent. Another factor has been the passage of legislation authorizing the executive branch to conclude international agreements in certain fields, such as foreign aid, agriculture, and trade. Treaties have also been approved that authorize further agreements between the parties. According to a 1984 study by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, "88.3 percent of international agreements reached between 1946 and 1972 were based at least partly on statutory authority; 6.2 percent were treaties, and 5.5 percent were based solely on executive authority."

The GOP invited Netanyahu to speak before the Congress. breaking all rules of protocol by sidestepping the President. Nettie ws invited to address Iran as a threat to back up the GOP talking point you are pushing. So please, you mentioned Nettie indirectly and without a fuller context you are just posting bumper sticker slogansDid I say anything about Israel or Netanyahu?Oh! It's about the best interests of the US and the interests of Israel?
Ok. I guess that is why Netanyahu was invited

All the more reason, to make it plain to the Neanderthal ayatollahs in Iran, that the United States will not honor any Bad Deal with Iran, once Obumble leaves office.
No, Dante, it's not screwy...againWhen the Supreme Leader of the Iranian religious autocracy publicly denounces the terms announced by the United States, to be inaccurate, and/or a downright lie, well...

what did you predict right before the 2012 Presidential election?
It's dead on target... entirely rational, and very common-sense -focused in nature.
It really did not require a crystal ball, to predict that those dikkwads in Tehran would repudiate anything even remotely representing an actual agreement preventing them from acquiring nuclear weapons...
And I have no idea what you are referring to, in connection with me and the 2012 general election...
Especially in light of the fact that I voted for Obumble, as a lesser evil than Mittens (Mister Forty-Seven Percent)...
Non sequitur.
