Hating Obama not a policy
Does anybody beside me find it incredible that 47 senators would sign a letter opposing the Iranian nuclear talks when none could possibly know what the final agreement would entail? The ultimate agreement could be a complete Iranian capitulation, but 47 senators would oppose it, I guess, simply because the Obama administration negotiated it.
Someone should tell them hating Obama does not make a foreign policy. Worse yet, none have offered an alternative. Would they do nothing, just letting Iran do as it pleases? Would they declare war with a little of former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s shock and awe? That was so successful in Iraq, a country much weaker militarily than Iran.
So if they’re voting for that one, the American public should be prepared for real shock and awe. Or do we just continue with sanctions? Would someone point out to the 47 that hasn’t stopped Iran yet? Unfortunately, our options are very limited. It’s a scary world we live in, but most scary of all is that several of these would-be statesmen want to be president.
