Samantha Powers Says US Will Be Isolated If Nuclear Deal Is Rejected

++Ed Kilgore wondered what the fuss was about this morning if Obama vetoed a rejection of the Iran deal. He mused if American credibility would be that injured.

++ The answer is absolutely yes. If the United States negotiates a settlement with the Secretary of State spending two weeks with a broken leg at the table,and then the political system rejects it. Why would anyone trust an American government in any negotiations--whether TPP, Global Climate Change or any Middle East Peace Plan if the yahoos can destroy it.

++Samantha Powers said the obvious that we could not demand tougher sanctions on Iran once we did that.
