'You should know better': Obama scolds critics, press on Iran nuke deal |
2015-07-16 |
![]() The president met the press as his national security team, and Vice President Biden, began to lobby skeptical politicians in Congress to back the agreement. Obama already faces bipartisan resistance to the deal, but on Wednesday challenged critics to present an alternative. "I'm hearing a lot of talking points being repeated about 'this is a bad deal,'" Obama complained, speaking at the White House. He said he doesn't expect Republicans to get behind the deal, but asked of critics, "What is your alternative?" Obama claimed the alternative is war. House Speaker John It is not pronounced 'Boner!'Boehner ... the occasionally weepy leader of House Republicans... 's office pushed back on the president's comments. Spokesman Cory Fritz said in a statement that "there's little reason for Americans to believe this nuclear deal will do anything to stop Iran's drive for a bomb, or stop its efforts to promote terror and violence throughout the Middle East." |

#1 Here is a pretty good Open Source venue along with references, for the Iran programme. The last two topic lines provide a summation of the current deal. |
