Didn't get into the academy but want the academy experience? Now you can! With AFROTC Frat you'll have forced friendships with a bunch of weirdos while not hanging out with regular people! You'll be so socially retarded by the end you'll think you went to the academy! Also, RAPE! Lots of RAPE!

Wouldn't it have to be an AFROTC frat at Liberty University?

Basing your friendship circle mainly on whoever is in your AFROTC unit seems like a bad idea wherever you are.

Republican senators blatantly interfere with Iran negotiations, Obama mocks the gently caress out of them. Now imagine for a minute Democratic senators had pulled something like this in relations to the Iraq war, I imagine the word "traitor" would have been thrown around quite a bit.

Didn't see it mentioned but Iran's foreign minister also got in on owning the GOP (emphasis stolen from Vox):

Javad Zarif posted:

Asked about the open letter of 47 US Senators to Iranian leaders, the Iranian Foreign Minister, Dr. Javad Zarif, responded that "in our view, this letter has no legal value and is mostly a propaganda ploy. It is very interesting that while negotiations are still in progress and while no agreement has been reached, some political pressure groups are so afraid even of the prospect of an agreement that they resort to unconventional methods, unprecedented in diplomatic history. This indicates that like Netanyahu, who considers peace as an existential threat, some are opposed to any agreement, regardless of its content.

Zarif expressed astonishment that some members of US Congress find it appropriate to write to leaders of another country against their own President and administration. He pointed out that from reading the open letter, it seems that the authors not only do not understand international law, but are not fully cognizant of the nuances of their own Constitution when it comes to presidential powers in the conduct of foreign policy.

Foreign Minister Zarif added that "I should bring one important point to the attention of the authors and that is, the world is not the United States, and the conduct of inter-state relations is governed by international law, and not by US domestic law. The authors may not fully understand that in international law, governments represent the entirety of their respective states, are responsible for the conduct of foreign affairs, are required to fulfil the obligations they undertake with other states and may not invoke their internal law as justification for failure to perform their international obligations.

The Iranian Foreign Minister added that "change of administration does not in any way relieve the next administration from international obligations undertaken by its predecessor in a possible agreement about Irans peaceful nuclear program." He continued "I wish to enlighten the authors that if the next administration revokes any agreement with the stroke of a pen, as they boast, it will have simply committed a blatant violation of international law."

He emphasized that if the current negotiation with P5+1 result in a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, it will not be a bilateral agreement between Iran and the US, but rather one that will be concluded with the participation of five other countries, including all permanent members of the Security Council, and will also be endorsed by a Security Council resolution.

Zarif expressed the hope that his comments "may enrich the knowledge of the authors to recognize that according to international law, Congress may not modify the terms of the agreement at any time as they claim, and if Congress adopts any measure to impede its implementation, it will have committed a material breach of US obligations.

The Foreign Minister also informed the authors that majority of US international agreements in recent decades are in fact what the signatories describe as "mere executive agreements" and not treaties ratified by the Senate.

He reminded them that "their letter in fact undermines the credibility of thousands of such mere executive agreements that have been or will be entered into by the US with various other governments.

Zarif concluded by stating that "the Islamic Republic of Iran has entered these negotiations in good faith and with the political will to reach an agreement, and it is imperative for our counterparts to prove similar good faith and political will in order to make an agreement possible."

MrYenko: Jun 18, 2012; #2 isn't ALWAYS bad...

A small observation, regarding the current uproar about Iran:

An executive agreement, which is what I would imagine will result from the current talks with Iran, is NOT legally binding, and a future administration breaking it would be a simple political gesture.

An actual treaty, which would be legally binding, requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate for ratification.

That doesn't remove the stain of members of the legislature attempting to influence executive foreign relations, however. It was dirty when Teddy Kennedy did it with the Soviets, and it's dirty now.
