House Assures Bibi It Will Vote On Iran Nuclear Deal Next Week

++J Street proclaimed a victory for diplomacy. A Jewish Veterans Organization says it will brief Congress on Tuesday that the Iranian nuclear deal threatens American security.

++E-mails I'm getting from the security community seem to have missed the fact that it moved into veto-proof land today.

++The Times of Israel reports that Bibi is telling the Israeli people that a majority in the American congress reject the deal--true--but he doesn't tell the audience it is a fait accompli.

++The question now is whether the Democrats on the Senate side can muster up 40 votes to stop the bill "disapproving" the deal.  I bet that count will be close but could make it.

++I get from the e-mails I'm getting that somehow the critics of the Plan can pull something off. I doubt it. The bills for additional sanctions will not muster cloture.

++The Iranian Nuclear Deal is very significant in that it is a body-blow to the neoconservatives and their world view.
