House goes on record
against Iran nuclear deal
The Republican-led House
cast largely symbolic votes on
Friday against the Iran nuclear
deal and sought to restrict Presi-
dent Barack Obama’s authority
to lift sanctions against Tehran,
one day after the Senate ensured
that the administration can im-
plement the accord without
congressional interference.
After three hours of hot-tem-
pered debate, the House voted
269 to 162 to reject the deal; 25
Democrats broke with Obama
to register their disapproval.
The fate of the agreement on
Capitol Hill, however, was
sealed on Thursday when Sen-
ate Democrats voted to uphold
the accord with Iran, overcom-
ing heavy GOP opposition to
hand Obama a victory on his top
foreign policy priority. The Sen-
ate action guaranteed that any
legislation disapproving of the
accord will never reach Obama’s
desk.

They said the deal will allow
Iran to eventually possess a nu-
clear weapon and that the bil-
lions it will receive through
sanctions relief will end up in
the hands of terrorist groups
that Tehran supports.
“This deal is far worse than
anything I could have imag-
ined,” said House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio. “This is such a
bad deal, the ayatollah won’t
even have to cheat to be steps
away from a nuclear weapon.”

Obama marked the end of
House votes with a statement
saying it is time to turn the page.
“Now, we must turn to the
critical work of implementing
and verifying this deal so that
Iran cannot pursue a nuclear
weapon,” the president said in a
statement.
“In doing so, we’ll write the
latest chapter of American lead-
ership in the pursuit of a safer,
more hopeful world.”
During the debate, Demo-
crats argued that the agreement
would stabilize the Mideast,
stop Iran from rushing to devel-
op a nuclear bomb and offer a
chance to end the standoff with
Iran diplomatically, while re-
taining a U.S. threat of military
action. They claimed House Re-
publicans used their opposition
to the nuclear deal to take a par-
tisan shot at the president.
Republicans countered that
the agreement’s inspection re-
gime against Iran, a state spon-
sor of terrorism, is weak and re-
peatedly recalled how Islamic
extremists attacked America on

9/11 rescue dog
celebrates 16th birthday
A rescue dog that flew to
New York for the 9/11 recovery
effort returned last month to cel-
ebrate her 16th birthday.
The golden retriever named
Bretagne traveled from Cypress
with her owner, Denise Corliss,
after the 2001 terror attacks.
They worked with dozens of
other dogs and humans to find
victims in the rubble of the
World Trade Center.
Her Aug. 22 return for a
birthday bash was sponsored by
BarkPost, a New York-based
website devoted to all things ca-
nine.
The use of police body cam-
eras, like those used in Seattle, is
spreading to keep officers honest
about using force against citi-
zens. But how and when the
public gets to see the footage is
up for debate.

shows the unsettling conse-

“That’s a very dangerous
weapon that they have there,”
Moynihan said.
