good trolling IMO
Why should they be able to read at that level? Most their cons uency writes letters and emails at 8th grade level or lower.Poor Dems...who knew they couldnt read. Its not like that's part of their job.
Israel spied on talks and shared the info with Congress:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/m...ith-lawmakers/Israel obtained sensitive information about the nuclear talks between Iran and the United States and turned it over to members of Congress, the Wall Street Journal is reporting. The insider details came from “confidential” briefings from U.S. officials as well as from “informants, diplomatic contacts in Europe and eavesdropping,” the paper said.
Citing “current and former officials,” the paper said the “spying operation was part of a broader campaign by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to penetrate the negotiations and then help build a case against the emerging terms of the deal.”
of course, we only found out because we were spying on Israel, but it's hard to imagine there wouldn't be loud, aggrieved cries of treason if say, France was sharing sensitive material with Congressional Democrats to derail a sitting Republican's foreign policy to France's benefit.
if sensitive info was "played back" to Republicans as suggested by one official, one wonders if any of them notified the US government about the leak.
does loyalty to country trump hatred of Obama? hard to tell sometimes.
All Bad-faith Politics All The Time, obstructing Obama certainly trumps the health care, iow LIVES, of uninsured, poor red-state citizens.
please try to stay on topic. this thread is about the open letter to Iran from the US Senate and Bibi lobbying Congress to undermine US foreign policy, not your global and frankly unhinged hatred of the GOP.
goddam hedgehog

How GOP threats against Iran have Guaranteed end of European Sanctions
The US sanction regime on Iran has a unilateral dimension. That is, there are sanctions only the US applies. Then there is a European dimension, which involves using the clout of the Department of Treasury as well as the persuasiveness of the Department of State’s diplomats to get European Union buy-in regarding their own sanctions. There is another, international dimension, which, however, is not nearly as robust as the US and the EU sanctions. Indeed, Iranian trade with India, China and Turkey, e.g., has substantially expanded since 2005, even as Iran’s trade with Europe and the US has plummeted.
Jonathan Tirone at Bloomberg Business, however, quotes Richard Dalton, the Britain’s former ambassador to Iran, on why, if the talks fail, Europe might well refuse to sanction Iran further and might, instead, blame the United States:
“As things are shaping up now, it doesn’t seem like it would be easy to say the fault or the failure comes fully down to the Iranians … if the failure happens now, it may be because of something which the U.S. either does or is incapable of doing.”
If the talks, fail, they can be blamed on the Republican Party, not the Islamic Republic. And many European countries will be unable to see why they should punish Iran (and themselves) for the sake of GOP orneriness.
Iran-Europe trade in 2005 was $32 billion. Today it is $9 billion. There isn’t any fat in the latter figure, and it may well be about as low as Europe is willing to go. Tirone also points out that European trade with Iran has probably fallen as low as is possible, and that those who dream of further turning the screws on Tehran to bring it to its knees are full of mere bluster.

Just another example of how your Repugs up everything they touch.
Why would a backwoods Arkansas hick and 46 other Repugs assholes up Iran negotiations? Because they absolutely must deny Obama every ounce of solutions and progress.
John Boehner Outs Himself As He Calls Obama An 'Anti-War' President
“The world is starving for American leadership. But America has an anti-war president,” Boehner said during a Capitol Hill press conference on Thursday.
Yes, by labeling Barack Obama an 'anti-war' president, our House Speaker John Boehner admits he wants war, he's good with it, he's DOWN with it. Let's get this party started! Because the Iraq war, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and approximately 5,000 American troops - wasn't enough. No, let's send more of our young men and women into battle to kill and be killed. It's what we do! We'll show those terrorists. We'll show the world who's boss, just like Bush did with his inglorious 'War on Terror.' What a deciding victory that was.

Peace with Iran Could Limit Ability to Bomb It, Warns McCain
WASHINGTON — Shortly after world powers successfully negotiated a nuclear-framework agreement with Iran, Sen. John McCain warned that a lasting peace with the Middle Eastern nation “could greatly limit our ability to bomb it.”
“President Obama is hailing this framework as something that could enhance the prospects for peace in the Middle East,” McCain told reporters at the United States Senate.
“For those of us who have looked forward to bombing Iran for some time now, that would be a doomsday scenario.”
“The Iranians know well and good that if they abandon their nuclear program exactly the way we’ve asked them to, we can kiss bombing them goodbye,” he said, shaking his head ruefully.
“It’s a damn shame.”
As for President Obama, McCain added, “Sometimes I think the President cares more about making the Iranians happy than about making the people who want to bomb the Iranians happy.”
With the deadline for finalizing a nuclear treaty with Iran set for June 30th, McCain said that there was still a chance that talks could break down and allow the United States to bomb it, but added, “I’m not getting my hopes up.”
“If we all wake up on July 1st and we’re at peace with Iran, don’t say I didn’t warn you,” he said.

Confused Republican Senator Continues To Insist He’s President of America
A certain newbie senator is still running his mouth off about how he is not going to allow the president to act in his authority as president because he’s suffering the delusion that “freshman senator” is the most powerful gig in government:
http://wonkette.com/581907/confused-...ent-of-america
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), who has emerged as a key critic of the Obama administration’s moves to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, vowed Friday to keep a framework agreement from materializing.
“I’m going to do everything I can to stop these terms from becoming a final deal,” Cotton said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead,” noting it is unclear when the deal would attempt to lift international sanctions.
Nothing like announcing to the world that you’re going to try your very best to undermine the president’s administration from making a deal, years in the making, to avoid a war with Iran. But hey, that’s exactly what newbie Sen. Cotton is all about, because after a few months in the Senate, he definitely knows best.
“It was not a framework, it was just a detailed list of American concessions that is going to put Iran on the path to a nuclear weapon, whether they followed the terms…or they violate the terms,” Cotton said.
“Iran may not accept them in the first place because Iran has continued to string along our negotiators,” Cotton added, noting Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei would have input on the deal.
Asked if taking military action would be preferable to the deal, Cotton said there are “lots of kinds of military action,” citing military bombardment in the 1990s under then-President Clinton.
http://wonkette.com/581907/confused-republican-senator-continues-to-insist-hes-president-of-america#EG5Bcf405khiKi0u.99
Cotton ought to become a Jew, joining the Israeli Army, becaue there's no risk there. He's agitating for Americans to pay for bombing Iran and for Americans to die there.
^^^ why do i get the impression Cotton takes it up the arse for some weapons related companies? Thus wants the profits.
Ie head-Bush Oil-n-War Co.
read above, the Jews own him.
this mother er is totally nuts, but par for course for Confederate red-state assholes
Tom Cotton: Put Iraq out of your mind. Bombing Iran would take just 'several days'
Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton: losing his grip on reality, or lying shamelessly? It's not clear which conclusion would be more unflattering to Cotton in light of his claim that bombing Iran's nuclear facilities would be just like when then-President Bill Clinton bombed Iraq for four days in the late 1990s.
It's just silly to think about the Iraq War of the 2000s, according to Cotton—silly, or a lie pushed by President Obama—"the president is trying to make you think it would be 150,000 heavy mechanized troops on the ground in the Middle East again as we saw in Iraq and that’s simply not the case." Simply not the case!
“It would be something more along the lines of what President Clinton did in December 1998 during Operation Desert Fox. Several days air and naval bombing against Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction facilities for exactly the same kind of behavior. For interfering with weapons inspectors and for disobeying Security Council resolutions. All we’re asking is that the president simply be as tough as in the protection of America’s national security interest as Bill Clinton was.”
In short, Tom Cotton, 2015: "Several days air and naval bombing ... "
Donald Rumsfeld, 2003, on the prospect of war with Iraq: "It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."
Uh-huh. About that ...
If the war in Iraq had ended after the six months that Rumsfeld thought was so unlikely, maybe Cotton could fool Americans into thinking that bombing Iran now wouldn't have broader implications.
But we know how Iraq went, and it'll probably be at least a few more years before voters are ready to once again be sold the idea that war in the Middle East will be a breeze.
