The Republican leader of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee said President Trump should not walk away from the Iran nuclear deal.
President Donald Trump is facing a May 12 deadline on whether to re-impose sanctions against Iran. Texas Congressman Mac Thornberry said on Fox News Sunday it would be a mistake for Trump to scuttle the nuclear accord reached with Tehran. “I would counsel against it,” he said.
As Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Thornberry is considered a key Republican voice on national security issues. Thornberry said that while he was opposed to the deal when it was signed by the Obama Administration in 2015, exiting the agreement now would erode Washington’s leverage against Tehran.
“I thought it was a bad deal,” he said. “But the key question is, okay, what happens next if the U.S. pulls out? Does Iran kick out those inspectors so we lose the visibility we have?” …

“[Thornberry] said President Trump should not walk away from the Iran nuclear deal.”
I agree. Run away from it instead.
Sounds like somebody doesn’t understand the concept of leverage. Get out of the deal and turn the screws on Iran, twice as hard as on the Norks
Screw this loser
Get us the hell out now
Get our money back
Kill the mullahs
Free the great Persian people !
Another paid- off traitor ? Sure sounds like it. Just how much money do the sorozNazi destroy- America crowd have, anyway?
Primary this SOB out!
Hey Mac, hows about some specifics like it will effect your personal holdings you C.
Its not a treaty.
The Iran is an executive agreement cooked up by Obama and Kerry.
If Mac Thornberry has proposals on how to fix a bad deal, he should offer them.
Just another Deep State Swamp Republican giving the POTUS unsoiicited advice.
Mr. Thornberry is a fool to believe the so called “inspections” are honest.
All these congress-hacks think they are POTUS. When they’re not threatening Trump about one thing they’re threatening him about something else. They’re acting like jerks.
Thanks John Kerry, you freaking traitor.
These RINO hacks are still angry Trump won the election.
They thwart him at every turn. Why am I not surprised.
It was a dangerously bad deal, so we must stick with it at all costs.
““I thought it was a bad deal,” he said. “But the key question is, okay, what happens next if the U.S. pulls out? “
We win.
They lose.
He is making the unspoken assumption that the US just pulls out and does nothing else.
We start by cutting Iran off from the rest of the world:
“If you do business with Iran, you cannot do business with the US”.
Escalate from there.
Blockade their shipping/oil.
Use their military provocations to hurt them, badly.
etc.
But this pussy committee chairman can’t see that far.
Oh look! Another McCain Mini-me.
Just follow the money leading to Mr. Thornberry.
How about a daily thread with a list of names of the political hacks who need to be voted out in the primaries and be sent packing by We The People. List their names, states, and precincts daily.
It might be enlightening to describe why they need to be sent packing.
Thornberry is a donkey fellator.
