obama sent the agreement to the united nations. president speaking in pittsburgh to the veterans of foreign wars national convention. they're trying to brush off critics of his deal. >> the same politicians and pundits that are so quick to reject the possibility of a diplomatic solution, to iran's nuclear program, are the same folks who are so quick to go to war in iraq and said it would take a few months. lou: opposition to the deal is a lot more widespread than the president acknowledged there. in fact, the obama administration's hard sell today involved sending defense secretary ash carter to israel to try to win over israeli prime minister netanyahu, who greeted carter in jerusalem with a handshake but abruptly scrapped plans for the two leaders to make public remarks before beginning discussion. take a look. it was to say the very least, a bit awkward. >> i think we're going up. >> okay, excellent. >> if you gentlemen want we could come back. thank you. no, i didn't want to. lou: carter later told reporters netanyahu, quote, m
