Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen bemoans that there’s not been enough discussion by politicians about the Iran deal.

New Jersey Congressman Frank Pallone, who many Sussex Dems know from his visits to Sussex County, is gaining power and status in the United States Congress.

Yet again, Rodney Frelinghuysen comes out swinging against the Iran deal. He’s not happy because Iran did not acquiesce to all the concessions United States and other signatory nations sought. He ignores that it took many months of hard fought negotiations.

On Thursday, September 3rd, Senator Cory Booker announced his support for the Iran nuclear deal.

Congressman Steve Rothman joined eleven other former Congressmen, all Jewish, to support the Iran nuclear deal.

Our junior United States Senator, Cory Booker, continues to sit on the fence on whether he will vote with, or against, President Barack Obama on the Iran nuclear deal

The underlying premise of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), signed decades ago, is that if a nation forgoes developing nuclear weapons, countries that already possess nuclear technology will assist it to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

Congressmen Scott Garrett and Rodney Frelinghuysen are typical of GOP politicians, and some Democrats as well, who trash the Iran nuclear agreement.  They offer no alternatives.  Moreover, they offer no vision of what will happen if the United States backs out.  Apparently, they believe that the current status quo, especially economic sanctions on Iran, will continue.  That’s wishful thinking.
