Draggingtree Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Commentary : The Cotton Letter and Obama’s Iran DealMax Boot | @MaxBoot03.15.2015 - 6:55 PM Having spent last week in Japan, I missed the brouhaha over the open letter to Ayatollah Khamenei, organized by Sen. Tom Cotton and signed by 46 Senate colleagues,declaring: “We will consider any agreement regarding your nuclear-weapons program that is not approved by the Congress as nothing more than an executive agreement between President Obama and Ayatollah Khamenei. The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time.” Herewith a few thoughts on the controversy. Thought No. 1: Tom Cotton is a rising star in Republican foreign policy. A 37-year-old, Harvard-educated combat-veteran, he has deep knowledge and interest in foreign policy and considerable credibility in speaking out. All of the controversy over the letter will do nothing to dim his allure—being criticized by one’s political foes is welcome for most GOP leaders; being criticized by America’s enemies in Iran is a bonus.

Draggingtree Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 March 16, 2015 Why the Senators' Letter to Iran was Both Necessary and AppropriateBy Rob Natelson Suppose you are in a general partnership with Smith. Smith handles day-to-day management, subject to your approval. But recently, he’s been acting somewhat high-handedly. Without consulting you, Smith is busy negotiating a contract with Macropus International Corp., a company notorious for unscrupulous practices. Smith has made it clear he plans to bind your firm whether you like it or not. You know that under the law of general partnerships, unless you speak up, Smith will be able to lock you and your firm into a very bad deal. This is because, as a rule, any partner in a general partnership has authority to bind the other partners and their firm to agreements with third parties. http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/03/why_the_senators_letter_to_iran_was_both_necessary_and_appropriate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
