It has become clear in recent weeks that most members of Congress have little or no confidence in President Obama’s approach to talks with Iran — and with good reason. Now Obama has threatened to veto new economic sanctions after Iran agreed to implement the six-month interim deal signed in November. That veto threat followed heated words from White House national security officials alleging that Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and other senators were working to push the U.S. toward war with Iran.
But it’s Obama’s approach, not the congressional push for tough new sanctions, that’s leading the U.S. down the path to another war in the Middle East. Obama is like the man who wanders into a used-car lot and declares he won’t leave without buying a car despite multiple warning signs that the dealer is a crook who sells nothing but clunkers and lemons.
