At a hearing on Iran this morning, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) was unambiguous on where he stands regarding the administration’s Iran policy — despite President Obama’s attempted scolding last week of pro-sanctions Dems.
“The more I hear from the administration and its quotes, the more it sounds like talking points that come straight out of Tehran,” Menendez said.
“And it feeds to the Iranian narrative of victimization, when they are the ones with original sin. An illicit nuclear weapons program going back over the course of 20 years, they’re unwilling to come clean on,” he continued. “So I don’t know why we feel compelled to make their case, when in fact … they get to cheat in a series of ways and we get to worry about their perceptions.”
He's stating exactly where we are. The Most Equal Comrade's regime's first priority is not national security.
I think MEC is incredibly annoyed with the whole foreign relations aspect of his job. Can't they just leave him alone? He's got a whole lotta "fundamental transformation' to work on. When he's not wearing golf pants, foreign relations is the LAST thing he wants to do with his Presidentin' Pants on.
