Allowing a terror-supporting, Israel-hating, American-troop-killing enemy of the U.S. to take a broader leadership role in the Middle East is foolishly shortsighted, and its a horrible betrayal of our allies in the region.
Sasse sees the administration giving up too much in the talks a view shared by many Republican colleagues, including several from Nebraska and Iowa.
