Schumer caves to the Neocons

WASHINGTON — Senator Chuck Schumer, the most influential Jewish voice in Congress, said Thursday night that he would oppose President Obama’s deal to limit Iran’s nuclear program.

“Advocates on both sides have strong cases for their point of view that cannot simply be dismissed,” Mr. Schumer, Democrat of New York, said in a lengthy statement. “This has made evaluating the agreement a difficult and deliberate endeavor, and after deep study, careful thought and considerable soul-searching, I have decided I must oppose the agreement and will vote yes on a motion of disapproval.”

Good for Chuck, at least one democrat see's that this deal does nothing to limit Iran, it only kicks the can down the road for someone else to try and fix it.

If your next door neighbor wants to burn your house down, would you run out to buy them some gasoline?

If you think your neighbor wants to burn down your house, wouldn't you like to assure that at least he couldn't do it for at least the next 10 years?

Anybody that thinks Iran would ever adhere to any agreement is a fool.

If you think your neighbor wants to burn your house down, do you feel safer if they have to let your neighbor know that they are coming to check for gas and matches?

Schumer's reasoning is totally nuts. He says he's concerned that the Iranians will build the bomb after the 10 years is up. So, he'd rather they build it sooner? So, he has caved to the Neocons and the Zionists and proven that it was a very bad idea to let Nut Yahoo ever come over there and address the Congress. What Bibi really really wants is for us to bomb the crap out of Iran. It's the kind of thing that he loves.

All recent Presidents..Democrat and Republican..have said Iran must never get the bomb.

Everyone knew what that meant.

That did not mean negotiate..it meant whatever military action was needed to keep them from getting it..by U.S..Israel..whoever..it's gonna get done.

This President has turned all of that on it's head, by effectivelytaking the position that Iran getting the bomb will be a good thing.

This president has constantly been moving the chess pieces toward the destruction of Israel.
