"Blood On Their Hands"

America's wounded warriors are rising up in protest against the terrible deal with Iran. Not only does this deal sellout our security, it is a cruel insult to our troops who suffered at the hands of Iranian-made weapons in Iraq and Afghanistan.

A new group called Veterans Against The Deal is taking to the airwaves. It has just launched an extraordinarily powerful ad featuring Staff Sergeant Robert Bartlett, an American hero who was wounded by an Iranian IED in 2005.

Sergeant Bartlett warns that politicians who support this deal with Iran "will have blood on their hands." He is right.

 

President Obama has tried to keep Israel out of this debate. His allies have suggested that it is illegitimate for Prime Minister Netanyahu to express an opinion because this is a deal between the U.S. and Iran, even though Israel faces the most risk from this deal.

Do the president and his left-wing allies want to tell our wounded warriors and the families of the fallen that they have no voice in whether this deal is a good or bad idea?

Yesterday, 29 nuclear scientists came out in favor of the deal. They may know nuclear science, but I have no idea why anyone would think they know anything about the Islamic Republic of Iran.

I'll trust the instincts of veterans who fought Iranian radicalism over those scientists or anyone else from this administration any day.

Please share this message with friends and family members. Urge them to watch the video and to contact their members of Congress at 202-224-3121. Tell your elected representatives to oppose the Iranian nuclear deal.

Ferguson Erupts

Demonstrations continue in Ferguson, Missouri, on the one year anniversary of the death of Michael Brown. Here's a question: Why is Brown's death an anniversary?

Everyone from a Missouri grand jury to the Obama Justice Department concluded after extensive investigations that Officer Darren Wilson acted in a perfectly legal way. Had Wilson not taken the actions he did, he would have been another policeman killed in the line of duty.

Now ponder this: If Wilson had failed to defend himself and was killed, what would be going on in Ferguson today? Sadly, probably nothing.

This is the culture the left has given us -- annual noisy marches for dead criminals and nothing but silence for dead cops.

China's Cyberwar

The extent of China's cyberwar against the United States is staggering. NBC News reports that Chinese spies have been reading the private emails of top Obama officials for years -- since 2010 -- and may still be doing so.

NBC noted that "The time period overlaps with Hillary Clinton's use of a private email account while Secretary of State from Jan. 21, 2009 to Feb. 1, 2013."

We have to assume that the Chinese have all her emails. As you may recall, we reported two weeks ago that intelligence agencies were scrambling to conduct a damage assessment of the classified material on Mrs. Clinton's server.
