    This anticipated act will rival GWB's pulling out of the ABM Treaty as one of the dumbest and most dangerous acts in history!

    And why should Mr. Netanyahu's show have swayed anyone? He gave the same type of act on Iraq - with his customary certainty - and was, as usual for him. dead wrong then as now!

    There were no signs that PM Netanyahu’s presentation on Monday swayed the leaders of France, Britain and Germany — all of whom have lobbied Mr. Trump not to scuttle the deal.

    And then, almost everything , Pompeo and Bolton say about the Iran agreement (JCPOA) is based on ignorance! We all know pretty well that never read it. Mattis was impressed with the agreement's verification terms, after he finally read it!

    Netanyahu’s asinine anti argument: 1.Iran had a nuclear weapons program before 2003. 2.They lied about whether that program ever existed. 3.We must scrap the deal through which intl inspectors ensure Iran has no nuclear weapons program.

    Exec. Dir. got déjà vu watching PM Netanyahu’s anti press conference. Why? Because 16 years ago, Netanyahu tried to make the case to Tierney that Iraq had WMDs. He was as sure then as he is now. And he was as wrong then as he is now.

    Only and his minions, and always wrong neocons believe disrupting the JCPOA would be a good thing. Most of the world's military, intelligence and diplomatic experts, believe the agreement is working and must be preserved so long as it is.

    Britain, France and Germany have agreed that the Iran nuclear deal, which has threatened to scrap, remains the best way of stopping Tehran getting nuclear weapons. As it was when they signed it.

    You don’t get to denounce one expertly negotiated, effective nuclear deal one minute and expect another country to strike a nuclear deal with us the next. That’s not how this works.
