Huckabee: Obama Marching Israelis to ‘Door of the Oven’

“This is the most idiotic thing”, Huckabee told Breitbart on Saturday, referring to the recently reached worldwide accord to lift economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for new limits on Tehran’s nuclear program.

Meanwhile, the White House tried to play down reports that it was moving to ensure the release, of Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, who by then will have served the minimum 30 years of his life sentence.

Obama and other supporters said the deal closes Iran’s pathways to nuclear weapons, thereby avoiding the prospect of military action.

“This president’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history”, Huckabee said. I read the whole deal. “It’s got to be stopped”, Huckabee said.

Opposition from Israel has been fierce, with fire turned on prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu over his failure to thwart the deal.
