Sen. Feinstein Blasts Iran Sanctions Bill as "March to War" 
------------------------------------------------------------


 
President Obama is renewing pleas for Senate Democrats to drop plans for
new sanctions against Iran. Leading Democrats have joined with
Republicans to push for new sanctions, despite the historic agreement
that slowed Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein of California blasted the push for
sanctions, saying it could "collapse" the deal with Iran just before it
is set to go into effect next week.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein: "How does that make any kind of common sense? It
defies logic, it threatens instant reverse, and it ends what's been
unprecedented diplomacy. Do we want to really take that on our
shoulders? And candidly, in my view, it's a march to war."
