    Not surprised, and he offered an olive branch, as well.

    Trump decides to exit nuclear accord with Iran

    WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to follow through on his campaign threat to pull out of the landmark nuclear accord with Iran, according to two people familiar with his thinking, dealing a profound blow to U.S. allies and potentially deepening the president's isolation on the world stage.

    It wasn't immediately clear which sanctions that were lifted under the deal might be quickly reimposed, said the people, who were not authorized to speak publicly. Trump has several options, and a limited move could leave him more room to potentially stay in the deal after all if other members agree to toughen it.

    Administration officials began informing congressional leaders about Trump's plans Tuesday. One person briefed on the talks characterized the president's position as similar to his stance on the Trans-Pacific Partnership — that he would pull out but remain open to the possibility of renegotiating a better deal.

    Trump realizes that the obama deal does not prevent iran from going nuclear

    It merely delays it by a few years

    Sickening. Trump is all about chaos, and sucking up to Israel.
    But, a country gets the president it deserves.

    To end the "Death and Destruction". :blahblah:

    He probably signed an EO to think about leaving the agreement.

    Now John “Bolt in neck” Kerry needs to be arrested and charged with violating the Logan Act, as a cherry on top of exiting the deal.

    If I recall, 61% of the Senate voted against the deal but Obama went ahead with it anyway... calling all these senators idiots, too?

    The same dimwits who cheered our disastrous invasion of Iraq,
    are behind this latest fiasco. They never learn, do they? So easily
    duped....

    No surprise there, since they are all in your imagination.

    The Obamidiot didn't even TRY to run this by Congress, with good reason...

    Oh really? You mean every leading democrat, who voted for the war?


    Iraq was stabilized, until the Obamidiot came along.

    It was run by Congress twice, and it would get a stamp of approval on a 3rd run as well.

    My guess is IRAN will now be willing to renegotiate. The current deal merely DELAYS Iran's nukes; it does not end them.

    The left refuses to acknowledge this glaring flaw in the deal....

    Bullshit. The Iran deal WAS NOT approved by the Legislature, or it would be a TREATY, which it is not.

    Makeup some more nonsense.

    I am not sure that Iran needs to do any business with the US as the rest of the world will be doing business with them.

    Will they feel any pressure from the sanctions?

    Will Trump need Congressional approval to reinstate old ones?

    And the left is all about abetting islamist terror, groveling before our enemies, and allowing Putin to run amok....before and after promising "more flexibility"...

    It is 100% legal, which would not be the case if Congress wasn't involved. Blame Congress if you want, but they would overwhelmingly approve he plan today.

    And then they'll suffer even more consequences. I love how the left always CHEERLEADS and ABETS the terrorist nations.
