The Obama administration began carrying out the Iran nuclear deal Thursday as time expired on Republican efforts to derail it, appointing a senior diplomat to ensure that Tehran moves further away from bomb-making capability and outlining a months-long process before Western nations will start easing economic sanctions.
Senators failed to reach the 60-vote threshold for a measure to keep all sanctions in place on Iran until it recognizes Israel and releases all imprisoned Americans, and then on a resolution expressing disapproval of the nuclear agreement. Two previous votes in recent days against the Iran deal also failed, and Congress’ 60-day window to prevent President Barack Obama from implementing the seven-nation pact was set to close Thursday night.
Shortly after the votes, the State Department named Stephen Mull as “lead coordinator for Iran nuclear implementation.” Mull, who has served as ambassador to Poland and in other top diplomatic posts, takes on the “crucial” responsibility of shepherding an agreement “which will make the United States, our friends and allies in the Middle East, and the entire world safer,” Secretary of State John Kerry said.

I pray our Military will act now .....this should be the red line
Yes and yes.
Riiggght.
Being that someone in the Pentagon has been fudging intel to make the fight against ISIS look better for Obozo, all I can say is please don’t hold your breath.
We need all FReepers right now.
there are far more great men and war fighters than the intel jiggerers
Will Ted Cruz sue, claiming the Corker requiremrnts were not met and ask for an immediate injunction?
The GOPe greased the wheels for this and now the “play fight” is finally over.
Bastards.
The treaty has not been ratified.
As I read this, I can muster up no emotion whatsoever. The Republicans played to lose once again. We know they won’t make any effort to extract a price from the Democrats. There won’t be any fireworks to show us they are fighting for America. In fact, if there is any fight at all, it will be between the establishment, and conservatives over funding for this. And as always, we will be told it has to be funded because Obama wants it, and Congressional Democrats play to win.
Oh, and thank them again for so publicly and loudly opposing it over these last few weeks.
In the sure knowledge that it was already in the bag.
Just like TPA/TPP we'll see this Fall.
It's a done deal. But, we'll see the same ol Senators prancing, and cautioning in low, hushed tones, about how bad it is for America and how Obama is screwing us.
I pray you’re right, but I’ve heard there’s been serious damage done to the upper command during (and some before) Obozo’s regime.
I’ve heard that from people inside, who know what they’re talking about.
As a matter of fact it’s maybe the thing that’s scared me the most about the damage this idiot’s done.
They shouldn’t wait , Obama is pushing our nation towards a national suicide . If they do nothing , whose fault will it be ? Do they have to wait until mushroom clouds are rising above US cities ? Does that really have to be the final straw ? What to we say to the survivors ? To the victims ? It’s coming and Obama is bringing it on
It’s an “Agreement”
Meanwhile, McConnell should be marched out and blank by the something until something. (don’t want to get in trouble)
McConnell, our illustrious, life-long politician, lying, land-deal cheating, traitorous, alleged Majority Leader is complicit. He has been Obama’s #1 facilitator.
Bet there’s some juicy Shiite in his FBI file. Child molesting? He looks like a pedophile. Bestiality? Wouldn’t put it past him. Bet he’s in to goats.
they all need to be relieved of duties
“lead coordinator for Iran nuclear implementation”
Without any parsing, this title is truly telling. Welcome to the nuclear club, Iran.
Countdown to destruction.
The lying, hated, selfserving, treasonous GOP
was tooooooo busy to stop this, what all with
firing up the IRS against conservatives,
and protecting the Benghazi Atrocity.
Relieve with extreme prejudice...good name for an enema.
Obama & McConnell can call it anything they want. It *is* a treaty. Legislation can not repeal the Constitution’s requirement for ratification.
