Yesterday new U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo gave a speech at the conservative Heritage Foundation setting forth the Trump Administration’s policies on Iran in the wake of their withdrawal from the nuclear deal that had been negotiated by the Obama Administration.

To use an old NASA phrase, by backing out of the Iran nuclear deal Donald Trump may really have “screwed the pooch.” His actions will probably not accomplish what he thinks they will, and in fact may do the opposite of what he intended. In Trump’s quest for more global power we may find that…
Foreign affairs is not an area of expertise for President Donald Trump, and his withdrawal of the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal is just the latest example. As Stimson Center arms control expert Michael Krepon aptly put it recently, “Diplomacy isn’t Trump’s strong suit. Trashing Barack Obama’s accomplishments is.” Trump’s approach to foreign policy, and the…
This morning many people are wondering if the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, actually has a sense of humor. Historically, the Ayatollahs of Iran have not given the world much to laugh about, but that may have just changed.

Trump is pushing the world closer to a nuclear showdown by killing the Iran nuclear deal for no other reason that it was accomplished by President Obama.
Paul Ryan dwells on the capture of 10 American sailors while ignoring their release, seeming to dismiss the possibility of peace with Iran
Netanyahu comes crawling to Washington for some foreign aid. Despite all the bluster, he knows who needs whom more in U.S.-Israeli relations
The two leading candidates for House speaker are mirror images and both will dutifully follow the Ted Cruz shut-down-the-government agenda
Iranian President Rouhani said tearing up an international agreement “is something that only the likes of Saddam Hussein would do.”
While 162 Democrats stood with the president, 25 Democrats defected and sided with the Republicans in the House.
There is no low Republicans will not sink to when they are deprived of the opportunity to launch another baseless attack an innocent nation
The Israeli Prime Ministers speech to Congress backfired and pushed Democrats who were on the fence into siding with President Obama.
The pressure on Congress continues to mount as 340 Rabbis have become 440, and only the gang who gave us the Iraq War support an Iran War.
More and more groups have come forward to support the president. The latest is a group of 51 Christian leaders, who represent dozens of Christian denominations and organizations. In a letter to Congress, they voiced their support of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) as the best means of keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of Iran.
The Republicans find themselves increasingly alone in opposing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal. Back on July 20, not only did the United Nations Security Council unanimously endorse the JCPOA, but we saw a “Statement by National Security Leaders on the Announcement of a Joint Comprehensive Plan…

Senate “No-Show” Cruz says Obama “snuggles up to” radical Islamic regimes, but suggests Obama is too busy golfing to take him up on it
The whole thing seems to predictably clear now, looking back: Obama reaches nuclear agreement with Iran; Republicans throw hissy fit, because Obama; Mike Huckabee goes all Sarah Palin and equates Iran deal to Holocaust; Jewish groups and rational people everywhere condemn remarks; Obama rips Huckabee (and entire GOP); Republicans leap to Huckabee’s defense. With nary…

Republicans who are trying to stop President Obama’s Iran deal suffered an immediate crushing blow as influential Senate liberals Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders both made statements supporting the President’s diplomatic efforts.
The current President, Barack Obama, will go down in history for providing tens-of-millions of Americans with access to affordable health care, restoring diplomatic relations with Cuba, an historic climate change deal with China, and with the stroke of his pen, ceding executive branch authority over foreign policy to a Congress loyal to a foreign national.
The neo-con’s solution has been fulfilling Netanyahu’s twenty-three year campaign for Americans to die in a war with the Islamic Republic of Iran primarily because Israel wants to be the only Middle East nation with an American-provided nuclear arsenal.
President Obama delivered the message that Republicans least want to hear. Diplomacy can be difficult and time-consuming, but unlike the neocon war first ideology, it works.
From the Rose Garden, President Obama announced the historically tough deal that the United States and the international community has negotiated to halt Iran’s development of nuclear weapons.
