This is disgraceful. Obama ("not looking backwards") never should have let these guys off the hook. Bush, Cheney and Rummy belong in the dock.....with Henry the K.
And which is the party that pushes photo i.d.'s in order to be able to vote? And what kind of people does this dis-enfranchise? Dog-Whistle in-the-law!
Obama should not be shaken down into paying a $2 billion penalty for signing the judicious nuclear deal with Iran. Under Bibi, Israel doesn't even deserve the $3 billion Camp David money for it is no longer a strategic ally (but a millstone) and we no longer need to bribe it not to attack Egypt.
Juan: That stupid lady who confronted McCain in 2008 did not refer to Obama as an "'Arab' Muslim", as you kind of report. She thought he was an "Arab"-period. She didn't know the difference between an Arab and a Muslim (like many Americans, some of whom even bash Sikhs(!) thinking they are Muslims. Just for your future ref.
Please include/highlight SAUDI ARABIA when mentioning Arab states of the (Persian) Gulf. It is the greediest and most selfish of all, and altho they'll send some money for relief, they will NEVER accept any poor people in their midst.
I would suggest that "the majority of the Japanese public is pacifist BECAUSE OF having been nuked by the Truman administration." And given the timing --100,000 dead in a matter of minutes -- comparable to the Jewish Holocaust in Europe on a per capita/per minute basis.
Thanks for this rare New York Jewish Congressman who is putting US National Interest ahead of that of Israel. We need more like him, and less like Schumer who no longer has credibility as potential "leader" of Senate Democrats in 2017.
Also note that it was "W" who, as a lame duck in December of 2008, negotiated with Iraq the December 31, 2011 departure date for US troops, unless the Iraqi Parliament approved their remaining longer under a Status of Forces Agreement. That Obama, and the Iraq Parliament, honored this agreement is not a failure/shortcoming/weakness on their part; in fact, it was wise.
I read in one source (only) that while Schumer plans to vote against the agreement, he will NOT vote to overturn the veto. Does anyone know if this is correct???
Obama has been criticized for the "tone" of his speech last week defending his nuclear deal. But he is only trying to counteract the extreme fear-mongering TV ads of AIPAC and other pro-Israeli lobbyists, and must fight fire-(y) oversimplifications with similar (tho not nearly as outrageous) rhetoric.
Speaking of the MSM and the punditocracy inside the beltway, why is Marco Rubio always mentioned 3rd (after Bush and Walker) among serious (non-Trump) candidates, even though he consistently polls 6th or below?
Racist Republicans are against ANYTHING Obama does. And only Democrats in thrall to Israel (e.g., Chuck Schumer) oppose this sensible Iran nuclear deal. They should be ignored. Obama has enough votes to uphold his veto (including Schumer's who's trying to have it both ways).

Hillary is hopeless, still trying to prove her macho. She would have been great for the Cold War era perhaps.

There is no such thing as "vetted mods"..... and a "no fly zone" is a zone of air war.

So much for the "vetted mods".

Who are the remaining Dem.Sens. on the fence? I know of Cardin from MD and Booker from NJ. Any one know the remaining five???

AIPAC (and now Chuck Schumer) obviously represents Likud, the right-wing Israeli party, not American Jews, and certainly not US national interest.
And Bernie's tax on Wall Street is only 10 cents on every $10,000 financial transaction. I think the financiers could afford this.

His background is more authentically Tennessean than Palestinian or Kuwaiti (which is the way the anti-Muslim MSM spins it.
