Senator Corker Sad, Senate Didn't Get To Review Nuke Deal Before UN Vote

++Senator Corker had sent a letter with a number of cosponsors requesting that the Obama Administration delay the Security Council vote. The fact they did not exposes the whole fallacy of the Senate review in the first place. It is a multilateral agreement negotiated with the full members of of Security Council.

++Republicans from here on out will confuse this issue because they simply don't understand it. Basically,once the Iranians agree to it in their Mejlis, it is a done deal.

++The Senate can add all sorts of things on but it will be interesting to see how the oilies react with the energy sanctions lifted. Cheney's "Energy Empire" lies dead in the dust.

++The Republicans can choose to embrace American leadership or simply forfeit it. But I understand now why Corker is sad. The train left the station without the Senate and there is no catching up with it.
