Blatant hypocrisy. Netanyahoo is throwing tantrums because the countries that negotiated the latest treaty want to lift sanctions, yet they're breaching those sanctions themselves???

And there's always the Iran Contra deal, that Kerry tore the GOP to shreds with. Reagan, etc. had the same stench all the warmongers have.

They are sooo disappointed to not get to bomb Iran and get contracts to rebuild it. Russia will NEVER allow us to bomb Iran. Period. They know that.

Obama is denying them WW3 and their Biblical Apocalypse. Bad Obama!
