At Least Two Dem Congressmen Outraged Obama Refuses To Take Military Action Against Iran “Off The Table”

The Hill:

Two long-serving Democrats are objecting to President Obama’s position on Iran, claiming military action should be taken off the table.

Reps. John Conyers (D-Mich.) and John Lewis (D-Ga.) told The Hill Thursday that they have concerns with the administration’s refusal to rule out military action against Iran.

Obama on Thursday strongly criticized Iran after news broke of an alleged plot to assassinate a Saudi ambassador on U.S. soil.

Lewis said, “We’ve got enough wars,” stressing the need for diplomacy.

Conyers said, “I want military options off the table.”

Asked about sanctions against Iran, Conyers said he is concerned sanctions “might hurt the people (of Iran), not the government.”

Meanwhile, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen’s (R-Fla.) Iran sanctions bill has picked up 21 co-sponsors this week. The measure now has a total of 318 backers, and is scheduled to be marked up later this month.

    Two anti-American Congressmen who think that America needs to be defeated by whomever wants to because they are such hopeless losers that they assume that they will rise to power if they help our enemies.  Here’s a news flash, losers, they hate you too, and since you reveal no honor, they will not even be sorry when they put a bullet in your brain.  The Mullahs in Iran are there because Jimmy Carter and his weak-assed Administration helped destablize the Shah.  This no-balls leader of the free world wanted to show his greatness by reaching out the Mullahs by agreeing to meet them without preconditions.  They rewarded him by upping the amperage on their aggression and trying to commit assainations in our country of our Allies.  Obama’s weak-assed response is too much for the likes of Conyers and Lewis because they are even more craven cowards than Obama.
