Can we stop this deadly Iran deal?
...Second, even if Congress is able to override Obama’s veto, we cannot stop the full scope of the deal from going into effect.
As John Bolton explained during an interview on Fox News, because Obama partnered with European nations, they will still honor the deal irrespective of our actions.
Obama intentionally surrendered our sovereignty to Europe.
According to Bolton, all Congress can do is stop Obama from lifting sanctions.
And if that happens, it triggers a clause in the deal that releases Iran from its responsibilities with respect to nuclear agreements.
To the latter point, I’m not convinced it means much.
There’s no reason to think Iran would uphold its end of the bargain no matter what the circumstance. Nor am I convinced the deal allows the West any meaningful ability to monitor Iran’s behavior. More importantly,
I have no confidence the West would take action against Iran even if they did catch Iran breaking its end of the bargain.
Quite the opposite.
...How surreal it is to type these words.
We are writing, reading, talking, screaming, raging, witnessing, and fearing our country becoming an enabler of the largest state sponsor of terror in the world.
That we are on the verge of helping a nation that wants to destroy us, acquire the weapons to do so.
That we are aligning ourselves with the 21st century Hitler.
And that we must take action -- no less fight a nearly impossible fight -- to curb this descent into evil, madness, and hell.
