Bipartisan resistance to the Obama administration’s push for a nuclear deal with Iran surged on Capitol Hill on Thursday, even as details emerged about a potential agreement that would allow Tehran to retain up to 6,000 uranium enrichment centrifuges while getting immediate relief from international economic sanctions.
Administration witnesses got an earful from representatives of both parties over the administration’s handling of nuclear negotiations involving the U.S., Iran and other world powers that could be reaching a climax in Geneva this week. Many lawmakers say the White House is flagrantly icing Congress out of the deal.
A bipartisan letter signed by 360 House members warned President Obama on Thursday that Iran can’t get “permanent sanctions relief” unless Congress approves it.
The Pr. has every intention in the world to ignore and by-pass the congress. So far he has had his way because the congress behaves like chicken-shit!
It is becoming more evident every passing day that the Pr. (and far left) interests do not match-up with the country interests. The US-IL day-light and the nuclearization of Iran weaken the whole western world. These are some of his interests and goals. Even some democrats start to wake-up. Better late than too late.
Iranians left talks supposedly to attend the funeral of Rouhani’s mother. My guess is they could not get what the Ayatollah demanded and so they went home to consult also.
They want the sanctions taken down all at once and that will not happen. Can not even happen because the US Congress must remove the final sanctions by vote as the US Ayatollah Obama does not have the power to do this.
