Some republican has his/her head stuck somewhere it shouldn't be! If it is determined who stonewalled this legislation that person should be deported to Iran. The following is from David Brog's blog. Mr. Brog is the Executive Director of Christians United for Israel (CUFI).

This does not mean that Senator Allard himself opposed the bill -- it simply means that at least one Senate Republican did. Senator Allard was just fulfilling his obligation to voice this objection on behalf of his colleague.
Which Senator blocked the sanctions bill, and why did he do it? We will continue to look into exactly what happened. In the meantime, this enormous disappointment is yet another example of the need for us to continue to build and grow CUFI. The stakes could not be higher. ...
