My Comment: No Congressional debate (hell .... they are in recess), no analysis and reports from think tanks or Congressional committees published (with the exception of one that is critical of the deal), no questions from reporters/pundits. The biggest arms deal in U.S. history .... with huge consequences to us and the Middle East .... and everyone is acting as if it never happened.
Something is terribly wrong here.
