are republicans laying down their swords in favor of plow shears?
Last week 131 congressmen attached their names to an unprecedented call for diplomatic engagement with Iran. But as early as next week the House of Representatives will consider slapping the country with fresh sanctions.
The "Nuclear Iran Prevention Act of 2013" is sponsored by Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., and currently has 374 co-sponsors, ensuring that it will pass.New sanctions included in the bill aim to coerce foreign countries into reducing imports of Iranian oil by 1 million barrels a day, according to a May statement from Royce and Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y. If enacted as law, it would stiffen sanctions on foreign companies and individuals who do business with Iran and its leaders.The bill also instructs the Secretary of State to consider listing Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as a foreign terrorist organization.House leadership is expected to announce Friday whether or not the bill will come up for a vote next week, according to congressional staffers and policy advocates.In what was heralded as an unprecedented move last week, 131 congressmen attached their names to a letter urging the Obama administration to use "all diplomatic tools" to negotiate with Iran on its nuclear enrichment program.
unfreakinbelievable, but i caution all they are republicans and we know their nature here today gone tomorrow or as soon as the T-Party tells them "hell no you can't".
just this week one of them oh Lindsay Graham was talking "talking he can't wait for war with Iran"

Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa., drafted the letter with Rep. David Price, D-N.C., to express hope that Iran's president-elect Hassan Rouhani, a former nuclear negotiator widely seen as a moderate, would be enticed with carrots."[A]ll the representatives who signed this letter have done so with our eyes wide open," Dent told U.S. News in an emailed statement last week. "Now is the time to test whether Dr. Rohani's actions will match his rhetoric."
this kind of rhetoric closes doors this stuff is available to the world which includes Iran, Rouhani reads this and takes it as US is trying to game him and slams he door and back to talks of war, which we know is the number two goal second to ruining the economy and pointing at Pres. while hiding those inane giggles. right wing does equally as much damage out of office as they do in office. loose lips sink ships!
