Officers' Letter to Congress on Iran Deal Is Not a One-Day Story

"Out of respect to their experience, expertise, service, and commitment, we owe them a serious hearing.

"Today, Obama actually wants to give the most destructive weapons in the world to Iran's genocidal regime.

"They came as close as possible without actually using the word." Read more
