1. Why respect Obama ?
Gary ,   Cape Town s Africa   (03.01.15)
Why should we show Obama respect if he has no regard for his closest allies or his own country men. He refuses to even hear what Netanyahu has to say and threatens to veto what his own congress has to say. Is this the way of the left ? The ones who always try to steal the moral high ground ? bibi should go to Washington and say what must be said and Herzog should have gone with ! Herzog should stop playing politics and recognize the importance of standing up to a president that does not have our interests at heart despite whoa the says.
2. If congress critters want war then vote for it
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (03.01.15)
instead of all these threats. The REALITY is the congress critters have no say in this matter until the treaty is signed. Then they can either go along with the rest of the world or vote no and isolate the USA. The reality is the congress critter do not have the guts to vote for war because they know that would end their political careers. per the US Constitution, ONLY the POTUS controls international relations. In the end, Iran is going to sign an agreement with the P5+1 and the congress critters are going to have to swallow whatever is signed or declare war, which they will not do. And even if the congress rejects the treaty, the USA will be bound by it and the rest of the world will ignore congress. The game is over.
3. US Constitution says treaties must be ratified by Senate

of course the little emperor will do all in his power to impose his capitulation deal on congress and the american people.
4. US Democrats will have to choose
CJK   (03.01.15)
us democrats will have to choose between supporting an out of control president or stopping a nuclear iran. the us democratic party has been obama's doormat for the last six years. it is time for the party to think of its own legacy.
5. Susan Rice: "what is the alternative"
CJK   (03.01.15)
susan rice, national security advisor, asked rhetorically, "what is the alternative." if susan rice cannot think of an alternative to a bad deal with iran, then she should resign as us national security advisor. it is her job to devise alternatives.
6. The bill is great, Congress will
Adler J   (03.01.15)
study for 60 days all what Obama wants to approve in reference to Iran, this is a issue that minds all countries, also Israel and the Middle East, Obama and kerry cant keep negotiations in secret, and then said ok this is the deal, surprise! No, we dont accept that kind of manipulation.
7. Something Smells Like Traif???
(03.01.15)
Seems like b.H.o. Doesn't want his plan with tehran To See The Light Until??? ITS TOO LATE!!!
8. A desperate move from the sunni...
Beary White ,   Norway   (03.01.15)
.. Mr.Sotero, the sunni boy, really show up as a desperate man, whose main goal is to inflict trouble in the whole world before leaving office. In the entire north Africa he has paved way for islamic terrorists, except Egypt who has a good leader in al-SISI, who ousted the MB who had the full support by mr Sotero. He even bypassed congress and gave USD 1.5 billion in foreign aid. Also, by instruction the US soldiers to train and support the "rebels" against Assad, he fumes the fire in ME. And not only, he also fumes the fire against Russia, as a war-monger.. Some decades ago, what did US do when USSR wanted to deploy rockets at the doorsteps at Cuba in 1962,..yes they raised the flag of nuclear war..then it is understandable Russia will not so easy accept Ukraine to be a EU/NATO member... Mr. Sotero is a very, very devoted dangerous member of the islamic cult.
9. This is more of a reason for Netanyahu to speak to Congress
