WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans critical of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks contend President Barack Obama is so keen for a deal that he is ignoring Tehran's moves to expand its influence across the Middle East.

GOP hawks maintain that Obama wants so much to burnish his legacy by negotiating an agreement to restrain Iran from becoming a nuclear-armed state that he is not pushing back against Iranian activities in Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and Bahrain.

Secretary of State John Kerry has taken on lawmakers, including some who insist that the nuclear negotiations have hamstrung U.S. policy decisions in the region.

"Yes, Iran's influence has spread at this moment and we are deeply concerned about it," Kerry said at one congressional hearing. "But if you're concerned about it now, think of what happens ... if they had a nuclear weapon."

1. Kerry is negotiating Iran away from being an existential threat to Israel and the world. But somehow

the GOP run the narrative that Obama is doing it for selfish reasons and make it sound like those are his only ones. Typical psychopathic running of a negative narrartive of their target's thoughts and feelings.

2. Now if I had the choice of which legacy to have, i would much rather have a one

Which negotiated a deal with Iran to halt nuclear weapons than the legacy where I invaded the country which was holding Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
