Marco #Rubio Could Have More Foreign Policy Credibility Than #Hillary



If an amendment by Sen. Marco Rubio succeeds in killing the disastrous nuclear agreement with Tehran, he will have achieved more in foreign policy than Hillary Clinton did as secretary of state.

As with Sen. Tom Cotton's much-maligned letter to Ayatollah Khamenei last month that was signed by 47 Republican senators, presidential hopeful Rubio's "poison pill" amendment in the Senate, demanding that Iran recognize Israel before there is a deal, is a bold act of politically incorrect patriotism.

Derailing this very bad deal — if the Ayatollah doesn't derail it himself first, knowing that Tehran can string the U.S. along endlessly — would be one of the greatest foreign policy accomplishments of the 21st century. It would be the reverse of Neville Chamberlain's "piece of paper" with Hitler's signature in 1938.

Rubio has refused to fold on the amendment he is offering to a bill to let Congress review an Iran nuclear weapons agreement. His measure insists that the terror state recognize the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state before a pact comes into force.
