Mr. David Michaels [“Facts show Iran nuke deal the right choice”} and Mr. John Nahas [“Nuke deal in America’s best interests”) have many supporters. For example:
A full page ad in The New York Times (9/31/15:)
“What does Israel’s defense and intelligence establishment really think about the Iran deal?
The agreement is the best possible alternative from Israel’s point of view, given the other available alternatives – Admiral [Ret.] Ami Ayalon . The agreement is good for
Israel and its national security. It blocks Iran’s pathway to a nuclear weapon for a longer period of time than any other available option and commits Iran to permanently renouncing nuclear weapons under IAEA inspections – Brig. Gen. [Ret.] Shlomo Brom – former director of IDF Strategic Planning Division.”
The same group had another full page ad in The New York Times (9/10/15):
“A LETTER FROM SENIOR JEWISH LEADERS ON THE IRAN AGREEMENT- We recognize the efforts of the Obama administration and the other five nations that worked together to reach a diplomatic agreement with Iran that cuts off its ability to pursue a nuclear weapon. A nuclear-armed Iran would not only be a security threat to the State of Israel, but also to regional and global stability. While the agreement is not perfect, it is the best available for the United States and creates a more secure and stable world for all of us.”

But, as you would suspect, there are those who disagree with Obama’s pushing this deal when the majority in Congress and the American people are against his madness.
For example: Another full page ad in The New York Times [8/30/15] stated:
“NO”
“214 RETIRED FLAG OFFICERS URGE CONGRESS TO REJECT THE DANGEROUS IRAN DEAL. This agreement will enable Iran to become far more dangerous, render the Mideast still more unstable and introduce new threats to American interests as well as our allies.”
This organization is called the WARRIOR LEGACY FOUNDATION and its web site is www.warriorlegacyfoundation.org.
Where do I stand on this issue? It is a rhetorical question.
I am a simple person. I believe when Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei states “Death To America”
He means death to every American. Thus, I want the next POTUS to undo what Obama has consciously done to destroy America in so many ways. That includes eliminating scum like Khamenei.
A statement from Sen. Tom Cotton (R. Ark) – 9/11/15:
“….this deal will likely move forward, despite overwhelming and bipartisan opposition to it in Congress and the clear will of the American people. Obstruction on the part of a minority of legislators is not the foundation on which lasting, consequential arms control agreements are built. A majority of Americans oppose the Iran deal because it compromises the safety and security of not only the United States, but also of the rest of the world. History will remember this stunning display of partisan loyalty and willful blindness. And it will remember this Senate as the one that – when given the chance to stop the world’s worst sponsor of terrorism from obtaining the world’s worst weapons – blinked when confronted with that evil.”
Amen, Sen. Cotton, amen.
