Politicus USA<\/em> has the article Liberals Bernie Sanders And Al Franken Stand With Obama In Support Of Iran Nuclear Deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

President Obama<\/a> laid out the options for dealing with Iran\u2019s nuclear program during his statement today:<\/p>\n

\n

For the fact is, we only have three options for addressing Iran\u2019s nuclear program. First, we can reach a robust and verifiable deal \u2014 like this one \u2014 and peacefully prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

The second option is we can bomb Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities, thereby starting another war in the Middle East, and setting back Iran\u2019s program by a few years \u2014 in other words, setting it back by a fraction of the time that this deal will set it back. Meanwhile, we\u2019d ensure that Iran would race ahead to try and build a bomb.<\/p>\n

Third, we could pull out of negotiations, try to get other countries to go along and continue sanctions that are currently in place or add additional ones, and hope for the best \u2014 knowing that every time we have done so, Iran has not capitulated but instead has advanced its program.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For some numbers to back up what the President said in the last paragraph above, see my previous post Netanyahu enters never-never land<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those of you that think that working out a deal with Iran is anti-Israel or anti-Semitic, I suggest you do a little research into the backgrounds of these two “liberals” who are supporting the President. You may be shocked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
