AIPAC to fight White House head-to-head in Congress over Iran deal.

"That was the order AIPAC's executive director, Howard Kohr, gave his employees in a staff meeting convened this week at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee after the United States announced the Iran nuclear deal.

With the influential pro-Israel lobby group pushing for Congress to reject the deal negotiated by the Obama administration, it's all hands on deck. Lay leaders, too, are canceling their summer plans, and AIPAC activists already are calling lawmakers and hitting synagogue listservs with appeals to can the plan.

The two months that Congress has to review the deal will feature a pitched battle pitting the Obama administration and backers of the agreement against opponents and the Israeli government."

The President made it very clear what the Iran deal was, and what it wasn't. It specifically addressed the Iran nuclear issue, PERIOD.

Which part of that does the republican congress, much of the U.S. MSM NOT understand?

The argument these groups bring up is it should have addressed ALL the issues, nuclear or not?

Really? Are these so-called self-appointed middle east experts who told us the invasion of Iraq would bring peace to the middle east, and Sunni and Shia would become the best of buds out of their fu*king mind? The middle east problems have been going on for like thousands of years, and these pea brains are suggesting that limiting nuclear proliferation by Iran is not enough? That it should be an ALL or nothing agreement.

After heeding their advice with the Iraq invasion, costing a trillion dollars, and over one million lives, I think we have had enough of their wisdom, and it is way past due for a different approach
