Despicable Deal from the Demonic Duo--Barack Obama and John Kerry must be rejected.
Hearing Mr. Obama’s threat to Congress last week caused me to think of only one word--despicable. During his announcement that a deal had been reached with Iran, Obama threatened Congress that he would veto any modifications to the deal. Congress, therefore, should reject it. It’s a bad plan that will give Iran the ability to proceed with it’s nuclear aspirations and continue exporting weapons to terrorist agents in neighboring Arab states.
There is nothing in the Iran arms deal that benefits the United States. It does not free any U.S. hostages held by Iran or other Arab states. The plan does benefit Iran, however. The deal permits Iran to commence the development of ballistic missile technology within the next eight years, and to continue its nuclear weapon work within ten years. It also releases $100 billion of Iranian assets that have been frozen by U.S. and other overseas banks, and lift the European Oil embargo.
The Demonic Duo of John Kerry and Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) has unleashed upon the free world, the top exporter of death and terror enabling them to make good on Iran’s stated national goal of “wiping Israel off the map.”
One of Obama’s talking points about the Iran deal, has been the claim that “snap inspections” can occur anywhere in Iran and at anytime. But this is simply not true , because the deal gives Iran the right to delay inspections up to 28 days. That gives them ample time to hide, bury or disguise anything that may be prohibited.
In his televised statements, Obama said, “Of course, we will help Israel to defend herself,” but there is very little cause to believe these words as his history provides him no credibility. He promised the American people that they would be able to keep their health care coverage if they chose to. That was a lie. He claimed that he was not in favor of same-sex marriage. Another lie. And Obama said that he would not attempt to circumvent U.S. immigration laws by executive order. This lie he repeated over 20 times.
At the end of his second term, President Bill Clinton made heroic efforts broker a deal between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The efforts failed because the administration made the mistake of thinking that Yassir Arafat would negotiate in good faith. And while Clinton’s motives of leaving a legacy of peace in the Middle East may have been self-serving, the goal was a noble one.
If Obama is at all concerned about his own legacy, one must wonder what is to be gained by this disastrous capitulation to the terrorist state of Iran. If he hopes to leave a legacy of death and destruction, the Iran arms deal might make sense. Israel is in great danger, not just from Iran, but Israelis must know by now, that they cannot expect any assistance from the United States before at least 2017.
The fact that John Kerry helped to broker this deal is not surprising. After all, he began his political career by betraying his friends and fellow soldiers. It’s only fitting that he would end it the same way but on a grander scale--betraying his country and America’s most reliable and steadfast ally.
According to a report by the Associated Press, Iran Foreign Minister, Javad Zarif is already telling the Iranian people that the deal will lift U.N. sanctions. The deal keeps the arms embargo in effect for up to five more years, but it could be lifted sooner.
There is no reason whatever, to expect Iran to abide by the terms of the accord. The Qu’ran permits Muslims to break promises made to a non-Muslims. Iran’s Islamic clerics refer to the Unites States as “The Great Satan.” The world should expect any requests to send inspectors into Iran to verify that the activities of its nuclear industry are peaceful, to be met with denial, delay and stone-walling. Meanwhile Israel sits below them as a lamb destined for slaughter.
Israel is surrounded by hostile Arab populations that are bent on the annihilation of the peace-loving Jewish people, some, like the Palestinians, are even within its borders. Former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, said to Arab terrorists, “We can forgive you for killing our children; we can never forgive you for making us kill yours.”
The United States of America needs Israel more than Israel needs us. America has undeniably been blessed by God. In Genesis, God said to Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you, I will curse.” The Iranian arms deal puts us in a position to be cursed by God. And with the state of debauchery that exists in our culture today, that’s one risk we cannot afford to take.
We can and should expect the administration to attempt an end-run around Congress by acting unilaterally. Congress cannot allow this, and neither can we.
