    President Obama addressed the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Pittsburgh today and made a case for the nuclear deal with Iran. "In the debate over this deal, we're hearing the echoes of some of the same policies and mindset that failed us in the past. Some of 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 were so quick to go to war in Iraq, and said it would take a few months. And we know the consequences of that choice and what it cost us in blood and treasure."

    Leo Shane reports on Congress for the Military Times.
