Boehner says US too ‘hungry’ for Iran deal

In an interview with Politico, House Speaker John Boehner says he is troubled that the Obama administration is racing to sign a deal simply for the sake of reaching a deal.

“What bothers me is it looks like the administration is so hungry for a deal just to have a deal so they can say they have a deal,” Boehner said. “The rest of the world wants something real out of this.”

He also addresses his role in US foreign policy and the upheaval in the Middle East.

“I wouldn’t have believed that I would be involved in as much foreign policy as I am today,” Boehner says. “And it certainly isn’t by choice. It’s just that the world is on fire. And I don’t think enough Americans or enough people in the administration understand how serious the problems that we’re facing in the world are.”
