Yayyy! Initially from her tweet:
Here is my statement on the Iran nuclear agreement → stabenow.senate.gov/?p=press_relea…
Keep us in suspense, why don'tcha? Then, from her linked Senate website:
"I have determined that the imminent threat of Iran having a nuclear weapon outweighs any flaws I see in the international agreement. For this reason, I must support the agreement.
"For me, the decision comes down to this: without this international agreement, Iran will have enough nuclear material for a weapon in three months. With this agreement, and the international coalition committed to it, we have the opportunity to stop Iran from ever getting a nuclear weapon, certainly for at least 25 years.
"I completely understand the deep fear and emotion involved in this debate. When Iranian extremist leaders chant ‘death to America' and ‘death to Israel,' the first question we have is ‘how in the world can we trust them to live up to an agreement?' The answer is: we cannot. That is why this agreement is not based on trust in any way. It's based on strict inspections and verification coupled with the fact that America keeps all of our current options, including military action, if Iran in any way continues down the path of creating a nuclear weapon.

Stabenow becomes the 28th Democratic Senator to support the deal. Hey Republicans, Schumer & Menendez - keep sucking it, you warmongering ass-nozzles.
