The Iran Deal

++30 Democratic Senators have come out for the Iranian nuclear deal and it looks like President Obama may be able to veto the "disapproval" vote. If his luck holds, he may not even have to face the day of the veto because the Senate will need 60 votes for closure on the bill.

++Over the last two days, Israel has erupted with charges and counter-charges when Ehud Barack, the former Defense Minister,told a a radio audience that Bibi had on three different occasions ordered a strike against Iran's nuclear sites but was pulled back by right0wing ministers and his whole defense staff. The last was in the sunup to the last American presidential elections. The Israeli military thought it in appropriate because there were joint Israeli-American military exercises at the time.

++Remember the Senate resolution that the United States should support Israel attacking Iran? That was a set-up for Bibi's plan. We would have been sucked into a Middle Eastern war with no conclusion again.

++The big "news" on the Iran nuclear deal is the so-called "secret" deal with the IAEA that "allows" Iran to monitor their own site at Parchin. The news got banner coverage at ABC and in Commentary magazine. 

++The problem with it is that apparently the so-called deal is a bogus document, which may not have originated at the IAEA tab all. The former head of monitoring and surveillance for the organization claimed it did not read like a document from the organization and went against the group's basic principles.

++The Times of Israel has made great hay out of this "secret deal" and has covered it for the last three days. But not the observation that it was false.

++This is feeling too familiar. Be afraid, be very afraid.

++Business Insider said that the GOP Senators plan to defund the IAEA so it can't monitor the accord. It is not far to having the agreement collapse,Iran actually make a nuclear weapon and the GOP blame this all on  President Obama or the Democrats and off we go again.
