Imagine what it feels like to be Ben Rhodes today after spending so much time developing that Iran Deal echo chamber.
His Twitter lamentations come in 13 parts:
1. Trump's decision just made the world a more dangerous place in ways that begin with Iran's nuclear program but go far beyond it.

Obama’s former national security council spokesman (and Obama Campaign bus driver) Tommy Vietor has some profound thoughts as well:
Disappointing that Trump didn't blow up the #IranDeal at a more appropriate venue, like the Boy Scout jamboree

The middle east has been too calm lately. It was time to spice things up.

I can't believe how owned the libs are right now. Worst day for us since the debut of the pajama boy meme.

Obama’s former speechwriter came unglued:
The President’s “accomplishment” today is making it easier for Iran to re-start its nuclear weapons program.
For this, he’ll get a big cheer from the same crowd who got us into Iraq.
Vote them out. Vote them all out.

Then there’s former secretary of State John Kerry, who up until the last minute plotted and schemed to preserve Obama’s misbegotten deal with America’s foe.

Thank God Kerry fails at just about everything he sets out to do — including throwing Vietnam War combat medals over a fence at the Capitol. (They were someone else’s medals.)
File this under “who asked you?”
There are few issues more important to the security of the US than the potential spread of nuclear weapons or the potential for even more destructive war in the Middle East. Today’s decision to put the JCPOA at risk is a serious mistake. My full statement: https://t.co/4oTdXESbxe

And of course Ohio Gov. John Kasich is criticizing the move as well: :

The Federalist’s Sean Davis hits back at the Obama bros and puts it all in perspective:

And a final word from noted Iran analyst Omri Ceren:
The Iran deal will be dismantled. The United States has an Embassy in Jerusalem. https://t.co/VeYHgCFmbd
