Cruz continues to impress me with his stupidity.
The administration just proved their own duplicity yet again. They offered a major defense package to Israel for their security after the Iran deal.
Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the aid and had the perfect reply:
As major technology, cyber and defense producers, I look for Israel to start working much harder on ties to Russia, India, China and several Arab states.

I will start with your good assessment and add that at the present it would seem that they do not have a viable alternative. At least the first three of the aforementioned foreign entities have a long tradition of pragmatic leadership where we do not in spite of having been an ally over a good many years, most of the time. Unfortunately, the advent of Carter 2.0, a whole lot louder and a whole lot worse, along with continued clamoring from the left to pacify if not outright support the jihadis, even if we return to a more reasonable administration, if Israel continues to rely on us, it will be relying on a foundation of sand subject to change dramatically without warning. I am also guessing that the Israelis have paid sufficient attention to realize that as I explored in another thread, our supposedly conservative legislators have grouped just to the right of the 50 yard line, while the leftists have grouped closer to the 20 yard line near their own goal, demonstrating that any pro-Israel stance is most likely going to be almost all talk and posturing and very little action. By contrast, the left is very likely to make good on their talk and posturing given the opportunity as Obama has been demonstrating with agonizing regularity.
Hey John Kerry. Getting a little nervous yet?
Now that the agreement is signed and the UN Security Council has approved, the Iranian leader has vowed to defy American policies in the region, that America's policies were 180 degrees opposed to Iran's. Meanwhile, his followers chanted "Death to Israel" and "Death to America".

I don't subscribe to WSJ, but the headline here: Iran Inspections in 24 days? Not even close.
Iran Inspections in 24 Days? Not Even Close - WSJ
This deal is looking worse by the day. White House also neglecting to share some documents on the deal with Congress.

Why the people in the house of representatives think they have any say in the matter is beyond me. Only the senate matters in this treaty and their hands are pretty well tied since their predecessors signed onto the UN decades ago. Tom Knapp points out the sad reality for them that it's a done deal.

The power of the purse strings. State Department's budget goes through Congress, last I checked. There may be other particulars that require US financial support. Those are vulnerable to congressional intervention.
I'm not saying it would be a good idea to defund things, just saying Congress has a role.
Not in the approval of the treaty. That's not how things are set up. Only the senate has a say and it looks like their hands may well be already tied by previous legislation and UN membership.
Yes, but that doesn't mean the larger Congress can't be interested in that machination, or have opinions on how they will respond.
True, they may have an opinion or interest, but they may have no part of the process.
They had to sign the agreement to see what was in it. The latest:
Wait a sec: UN inspectors will be forced to rely on samples provided by ... Iran?
