Iran has already shown they are dismantling their nuclear weapons program by shutting down all fuel enrichment facilities. They are abiding to a disarmament agreement with NATO. Sanctions are supposed to be downgraded by that treaty. Now the US is decides it wants to change the terms of agreement.
This is a Republican hype to insist there is an impending war (Syria has lost interest to the American public.) Clinton worked hard to help draft these negotiations. We should not do an about face. Why would anyone bother to negotiate through diplomatic means through us again? Patty Murray is making the right choice. When a hostile country negotiates to disarm possible military weapons to reduce sanctions, and oblige. One does not try to demand further sanctions when the other party is sticking to their end of the agreement.

I got an email from Maria Cantwell after I wrote to her about this and she was ambiguous at best. i'm hoping now that Murray has come out against this so will Cantwell.

Also, this doesn't exactly say she's against them she just wants to give the administration time to come to an agreement. How long is that time going to last? What will be the trigger for her to change her mind?

Good. Patty Murray seems to be up in the Bernie Sanders realm of sensibility. I would be pissed beyond belief if Senator Cantwell came out supporting more sanctions just as Iran is starting to take the carrot instead of the stick.

As far as the other Democrats supporing this bullshit, I can only imagine their fear of their Israel money dissappearing as their only motivation.

Please wait...
