The Iran Deal

Thursday, August 20, 2015, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)

Next week we will discuss the Iran Deal, which has long been in the news but is about to get a lot more attention as we approach the votes in the House and Senate in September. We will show clips from videos which explore aspects of the deal and its political ramifications.  Here is a partial list:
  • A brief history of Iran's nuclear program and the conditions of the deal, Warning this video gets a little political in some areas.
  • Obama's July 14 announcement of the final deal and the threatened veto
  • Ernest Moniz and the expected media barrage
  • Obama's August 5 address to American University, answering the critics to the deal
  • Maryland's Ben Cardin, possibly the most critical undecided vote
  • Marco Rubio's bluntness on how the deal will ultimately be decided
