Harry Reid Blocks Iran Sanctions Vote

[RandomVariable]

Might makes right/no diplomacy. No questioning big business. No benefits for the poor. It's the American way.

Israel paid a price for having a country. Muslims from every corner of the Middle East joined Hitler 's SS in 1939 for the purpose of assisting in the murders of all Jews in Europe.

Actually, only 1 division (12,000) muslims joined the SS during WWII

(which was a tiny number compared to the 10's of millions of soldiers who fought in the war)

Besides, they were from Bosnia, which is a part of europe not the middle east.

Also, Bosnians are not arabs. ...

Obama and Reid block bipartisan bill... I'm sure the Israel, Jew haters will Like Obama a little more now

The Iran nuclear deal is in place. And Senate majority leader Harry Reid is preventing the Senate from voting on Iran sanctions to be implemented in case the Iran deal fails. Reid is holding up the vote at the urging of President Obama.

The Emergency Committee for Israel is calling on Reid to allow a vote on the sanctions bill that's supported by many Democrats and Republicans, and well over half of the Senate.

"Who says President Obama isn't tough?" ECI asks in its statement.

"With today's announcement of an implementation agreement with Iran, President Obama has shown a willingness to be tough in confronting the pro-Israel majority in Congress, threatening to veto any legislation that would punish Iranian deception or prevent the White House from acquiescing to a bad deal with Iran.

"With Iran, on the other hand, Obama is willing to accept an agreement that weakens even the original bad deal he announced two months ago. It is a deal that guarantees a permanent Iranian nuclear weapons capability and grants a new concession by allowing Iran to continue developing ever more advanced centrifuges during the talks. It is a deal that, as Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister boasted today, rolls back nothing and means Iran 'can return to the previous situation within a day.'

Harry Reid Blocks Iran Sanctions Vote | The Weekly Standard

You claim this is a bipartisan bill -- could you point to the part of the story that show who is likely to support the bill in the Senate.

Also, the "Jew-Hater" comment is ignorant as this move is obviously more about diplomacy and not wanting to jump the gun.

Lastly, you are aware that under Obama there have been covert operations to scuttle the Iran nuclear labs via computer virus sabotage?

 

[National Socialist]

We've never fought a war for Israel.

Yeah. Right.

Link it.

WAR FOR ISRAEL

What others have said...you are either blind or an idiot for not realizing we went into Iraq for Israel among other wars/attacks we have launched for Israel.

 

[Jroc]

Good for our President and Harry Reid

After decades of trying, we finally got a deal in place with Iran. Passing such a bill only threatens and already tenuous agreement

There is no reason for a new sanctions bill at this time

The sanctions were working you idiot. Now we give the Islamofascist o regime new life what a mistake. People like you are a joke

 

[R.C. Christian]

Only good thing that filthy scumbag has done in his entire, insignificant life.

 

[Jroc]

They had time before

What the bill does is provide an opportunity to scale back. If they do....great
If not.....Sanctions are easy to put back in place

Passing this stupid bill at this time is provacative and only serves to push Iran back to where they were

Sanctions probably won't do anything, but they give a small glimmer of hope, as opposed to the plan right now, which is do nothing.

Sanctions have "done something". Iran has a more moderate government and is open to doing deals.

Total fucking ignorant bullshit the sanctions were working, now they gone, war is more likely now congratufuckinglations

 

[Duped]

The sanctions were working! Now funds will be pouring into all the proxy terrorist. We all know that Obama is pro islamic; anti Israel, and Reid is up his ass.

26 senators defy Obama, back Iran sanctions bill

More than a quarter of the Senate defied President Barack Obama on Thursday by introducing legislation that could raise sanctions on Iran, and compel the United States to support Israel if it launches a pre-emptive attack on the Iranian nuclear program.

The bill, sponsored by 13 Democrats and 13 Republicans, sets sanctions that would go into effect if Tehran violates the nuclear deal it reached with world powers last month or lets it expire without a long-term accord. The measures include a global boycott on Iranian oil exports within one year and the blacklisting of Iran's mining, engineering and construction industries.

The goal, according to supporters, is to strengthen the negotiating leverage of the Obama administration as it seeks to pressure Iran into a comprehensive agreement next year that would eliminate the risk of the Islamic republic developing nuclear weapons. But it could also create added complications for U.S. negotiators, who promised Iran no new economic sanctions for the duration of the six-month interim pact that was finalized on Nov. 24 in Geneva.

"Current sanctions brought Iran to the negotiating table and a credible threat of future sanctions will require Iran to cooperate and act in good faith at the negotiating table," said Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., who spearheaded the effort with Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill.

Kirk called the draft law "an insurance policy to defend against Iranian deception."

The Obama administration has furiously lobbied Congress not to impose new sanctions, even on a conditional basis, saying the increased economic pressure could force Iran to withdraw from the negotiating process and strain ties between the United States and its key negotiating partners — Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia. Washington is banking on these countries to persuade Tehran into accepting a final package that would ease trade, financial and oil restrictions if the country severely rolls back its uranium enrichment activity and other elements of its nuclear

Huh? What? How many times are we going to watch this movie?

1994 NK "Agreed Framework", multiple USSR ABM Treaties, 1974 USSR Chemical Weapons ban, etc., all cheated on by the other side.

No thanks, any agreement with a shithole, fake regime of murderers like iran's is not worth the paper its printed on. They should have been bombed and destroyed 10 years ago. Enough failed "diplomacy" already...

We need a real president, not one who is going to fucking piss off every ally we have. No wonder the US is so hated around the world, no one trusts the country; they fuck over their allies for sake of small conveniences at every opportunity.

 

[velvtacheeze]

America does not want another war in the Middle East. Get over it, conservative couch colonels. You guys are so phony. Iran with nuclear weapons is no threat to the US, and we can easily contain them.

Thank goodness Mitt lost. We'd be bogged down in Syria, and mired in Iran, by now if he'd won. You conservative morons haven't learned a thing from your Iraq War mistake.

Lifting the sanctions makes war more likely...There was no reason to lift them... Obama cant even get Americans out of Iranian prison before his stupid deal

Didn't say they were. Muslims engaged in murdering the Jews and participating in their demise is well known and documented by the Germans, who were proud of their assassination of the Jewish people of Europe. They documented every last detail, and the evidence they left is irrefutable.

Jews under attack in France by Racist Muslims

French citizens are known to have actually identified with a Muslim mass murderer of Jewish schoolchildren recently. That is horrifying to me, considering American sacrifices made to free France from Hitler's fist. Their Muslims are killing 200 Jews a year in France for nothing but religious-inflicted hatred upon their own children who are being trained at home to target and kill Jewish people.

When they kill all the Jews, they will start in on the other native French people, only they're not telling them that yet.

The press is doing to the Jews what the press did to blacks in suppressing information about the Ku Klux Klan following the Civil War.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

The deal here, out of Os hands, has more to do with oil imports. We've essentially got iran by the balls in terms of near future crude/ nat gas production. We're about to surpass the entire ME in proven oil/nat gas reserves. They have to know that we'll eventually shut their exports to almost nil if they don't start playing ball.

Diplomacy is for pussies

I have no problems with diplomacy at all. I have problems trusting a pedophile around my 5 year old child. Iran has proven their distrust over and over. While you think Obama is being a great statesman, they are barreling full speed ahead with building a nuclear bomb. They have been very clear about their intentions in regards to the US and Israel. How do you see this playing out long term?

 

[ScienceRocks]

Let's build America. Fuck iran...

 

[Desperado]

We are only in Iran's business at the behest of Israel.

When in reality N. Korean nukes are a true threat to the U.S. ...

Seems we worry more about a country that sometime in the future may or may not develop nuclear weapons, while turning a blind eye to rogue countries with nuclear weapons like North Korea and Pakistan. That cannot be explained or dismissed as an oversight.

They have them Iran doesn't yet understand? Iran is a whacko fundamentalist nutjob state there' a difference

 

[blackhawk]

Yep it will be a great deal right up till Iran successfully test detonates a nuke. I wonder how the left will blame Bush for that one.
