On the recordSeptember 11, 2015
I have supported them at each opportunity, but this is not about sanctions. It is about a last-ditch effort to undermine a diplomatic victory. Those who reject this victory are weak on alternatives. They talk about a ``secret.'' The biggest secret is what they would do other than bomb first and ask questions later. The director of the Mossad, the Israeli CIA, says we are putting in place a verification system, which is second to none and has no precedent. Ultimately, reason will prevail this week in Congress. The President will be sustained, and families here and in Israel will be safer.
