Israel is pleased at a compromise deal on Iran achieved between the United States Congress and the administration of President Barack Obama, Israeli Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz said on Wednesday.

In what was seen as a setback for Obama, the U.S. president agreed on Tuesday that Congress should have the power to review a nuclear deal with Iran, reluctantly giving in to pressure from Republicans and some in his own party over the barbed issue.

“We are certainly happy this morning. This is an achievement for Israeli policy,” Steinitz told Israel Radio, citing a March 3 speech by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Congress in which he argued against a then-emerging framework agreement with Tehran on curbing its nuclear program.

Steinitz said the compromise bill would be “a very important element in preventing a bad deal”, or at least in improving the April 2 blueprint that world powers charted with Iran.

1. That's the important part - Bibi is happy!!!!!!

Kind of interesting, really - Obama is willing to let Congress fuck around with a nuclear agreement treaty, but NOT WITH THE TPP. And a DEMOCRAT wants to Fast Track cuts to Social Security.

3. Well now, that's all that really matters.

I say cut them off.

5. Fuck this clown.

I don't give a crap if "Israeli Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz" is fucking happy with this 'deal.'

Why some Democrats are going along with this rethug bullshit is beyond me.
So much for give peace a chance. WAR!!!! That is what Israel and the MIC Congress want.

It's fucking sick.

7. I would like the names of the at least 13

Democratic Senators who went along with his. In order to get VETO proof, you need 67 so that means 13 Democratic Senators were against the President. I want names! Guarantee we never se them.

11. No kidding.

6. There is so much spin in how they are describing this

that I'm dizzy.

It's interesting how the spin neglected to mention that Bibi didn't want this agreement AT ALL. And guess who capitulated?

8. AIPAC will allow no viable negotiated settlement to escape from this Congress.

There can only be war on Israel's terms.
