    Clearly, Republicans are a greater threat than Iran.

    Why don't we ask the thousands of dead Iraqis from the last 12 years who their greatest threat is?

    I blame the French.

    Centrifuge is one of their words.

    They're always starting stuff they can't finish.

    LOL. I wonder what he would say if he didn't welcome debate.

    So I welcome a robust debate in Congress on this issue and I welcome scrutiny of the details of this agreement. But I will remind Congress that you don't make deals like this with your friends. We negotiated arms control agreements with the Soviet Union when that nation was committed to our destruction and those agreements ultimately made us safer.

    I am confident that this deal will meet the national security interests of the United States and our allies. So I will veto any legislation that prevents the successful implementation of this deal.

    I'm sure Tom Cotton will go over there singlehandedly if he has to, goshdarnit.

    You realize Iran has been undermining a stable Iraq since day one, right?

    They've built the IEDs that have blown up our soldiers, and have fomented sectarian violence.

    Iran's influence, is why the Sunnis don't trust a central Iraqi government, and it's why groups like Al Queda and now ISIS have been able to gain support.

    Wrong. The U.S. created ISIS by being mean to terrorists.

    Sorry ... The West created ISIS by allowing cartoonists to draw pictures of the Prophet. Without that, Syria would just be a hotter, sandier Connecticut.

    Maybe certain people should have thought of that before charging into battle? Instead, certain people thought the end result would be flowers and candy.

    Let's accept your post at face value for the moment, what does that have to do with my point?

    Iran has been facilitating the killing of U.S. military members, and Iraqi civilians.

    They've undermined everything we've attempted to do in/for Iraq. Why would we trust them?
