Kerry says Congress would not be able to change terms of Iran deal
2015-03-11
[PBS] WASHINGTON (AP) -- Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday that U.S. lawmakers won't be able to change the terms of any nuclear agreement with Iran because it won't be legally binding, a statement likely to inspire greater congressional opposition.

Kerry, Washington's senior representative in talks with Tehran, said he reacted with "utter disbelief" to a letter earlier this week signed by 47 Republican senators warning Iran's leaders that an accord with President Barack Obama's team could expire the day he leaves office.

As for SecState Jaawhn,

* FREEREPUBLIC ARTICS this AM = Kerry says ...

> IRAN NUKE DEAL is NON-BINDING, which I'm personally interpreting that Iran can covertly proceed full-bore wid NucWeaps research-n-development widout violating the Deal.

> US OR US-ALLIES "HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DESTROY THE ISIS, BUT WE WON'T DO IT".

Unfortunately, iff true this statement by Kerry gives credence to IRAN'S claims that the Obama Admin = USA covertly desires to keep the ISIS contained, but NOT defeated or destroyed as an Organized Polity to use as a MilPol or Geopol hedge agz US' international rivals or protagonists.

#8  I think it was Thomas Sowell who said O will just surrender to everyone. Well at least not to Republicans. I really believe if Iran goes nuclear and destroys an American city O will do nothing in response.

#6  There also was an executive agreement with Saigon vis a vis supporting South Vietnam.

We all know what happened later with (a Democratically-controlled) Congress.

#4  Total illogic is what I expect from this Keystone cops version of fascist dictator wannabes.

If it's not legally binding you a-brained buffoon, congress doesn't have to change it, it can ignore it completely. Hopefully they will realize that they should ignore this whole corruptocrat circus that passes for our regime....either that or arrest them all for treason and behead the lot.

#3  So the deal isn't "Legally Binding" means Iran doesn't have to follow it.

Is it just me or is the amateur hour growing into the amateur decade?

#2  Kerry and Obama are so desperate to have their 'Legacy' that they are willing to sell us, and Israel to the Iranians to get it.
That is basically what this deal is - a bill of sale for Israeli lives.
