Congress passed a bill with bi-partisan support advising President Obama that congress has the right to approve or disapprove any deal with Iran.  That is a very good thing.  Unfortunately, there is more to the story.

The following New York Post article explains:

Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) said Democrats say they will withdraw their support of the legislation if Republicans successfully push amendments that would pull the bill as it’s written “sharply to the right.”

 He was referring to amendments proposed by Republicans to make the administration certify that Iran is not supporting terrorism and had publicly renounced its threat to destroy Israel — two hurdles that would be nearly impossible to clear.

Seriously?  Democrats don’t have a problem with Iran continuing to support terrorism.  They also aren’t concerned about a little thing like Iran promising to destroy Israel.  This  insane.  Even if this deal somehow slows down Iran’s march toward a nuclear weapon, which is far from clear, it doesn’t solve any problems.  In 1994 Bill Clinton thought he had negotiated a deal that would stop North Korean from getting nuclear weapons.  How’d that work out?  At least some military experts think Korean is getting close to the point where they can launch nuclear armed missiles at the United States.

Incredibly Senator Coons, like a lot of liberal Democrats, is more focused on being politically correct than in protecting the country.  What, exactly, is the point of signing any deal with a country that won’t even agree to stop funding terrorism?  Why, exactly, would Israel accept any deal with a country that won’t even acknowledge Israel’s right to exist.  The real question is not whether or not congress should approve a deal.  The question is why isn’t congress prohibiting the President from signing such a deal. Liberal Democrats in congress had no problem prohibiting President Gerald R. Ford from using military force in Vietnam. It was the Democratic congress, not our military forces who lost the war in Vietnam.  A war that had been won, inspite of Democratic opposition, by President Richard Nixon.  Now liberal Democrats are supporting this administration’s mad rush to sign a deal that makes the Neville Chamberlain “Peace in our time” agreement with Hitler looks like a diplomatic masterpiece in comparison.  This is not just insane, it is criminally insane.
