Bloomberg<\/em> has the story Netanyahu Attack on Iran Deal Threatens Rift With U.S.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mark Dubowitz<\/a><\/strong>, executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington, who has helped write sanctions legislation, said pressure will build in Congress to move ahead with added strictures against Iran because some allies consider a potential interim nuclear deal to be too weak.<\/p>\n

\u2018Tough Sell\u2019<\/h2>\n

\u201cMy sense is it\u2019s going to be a very, very tough sell to hold off\u201d congressional action on additional sanctions, \u201cespecially with the Israelis and the Saudis just completely freaking out,\u201d said Dubowitz, who consults with the Obama administration and Congress on sanctions policy.<\/p>\n

The Senate Banking Committee is preparing to discuss legislation imposing new curbs on Iran. Chairman Tim Johnson<\/a><\/strong>, a South Dakota Democrat, said in a statement that he hasn\u2019t decided on timing for committee action.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know the outcome of negotiations now under way in Geneva, and I plan to wait to hear any results of those talks from our negotiators before making a final decision on any additional sanctions,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now is the time to contact your Senators to let them know that we should not blow a chance for a peaceful settlement with Iran to appease the war mongers in Israel and our own Congress.\u00a0 We got rid of the likes of George Bush and Dick Cheney and did not replace them with like minded people partly on account of being sick and tired of constant war.\u00a0 Why should we let Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu push us into policies that we do not want from our own elected leaders?\u00a0 (If you don’t recognize the Cheney\/Bush “reasoning” in Netanyahu, then you have not been paying attention.)<\/p>\n

I sent the following message to Senator Elizabeth Warren<\/strong><\/a> and to Senator Ed Markey<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is a very disturbing report in Bloomberg News, “Netanyahu Attack on Iran Deal Threatens Rift With U.S.”<\/p>\n

It indicates that the Israeli Prime Minister is going to try to get the U.S. Congress to scuttle the diplomatic effort between our Secretary of State and Iran.\u00a0 This effort will be made in the Senate Banking Committee.<\/p>\n

Please, do not allow this to succeed.<\/p>\n

We were happy to see the Cheney\/Bush war mongers leave the scene.\u00a0 We don’t need an Israeli Prime Minister to talk us into the same disastrous policies that Cheney\/Bush managed to foist upon us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
