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\u2019s written \u201csharply to the right.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong>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 \u2014 two hurdles that would be nearly impossible to clear.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Seriously?\u00a0 Democrats don\u2019t have a problem with Iran continuing to support terrorism.<\/strong>\u00a0 They also aren\u2019t concerned about a little thing like Iran promising to destroy Israel.\u00a0 <\/strong>This \u00a0insane.\u00a0 Even if this deal somehow slows down Iran\u2019s march toward a nuclear weapon, which is far from clear, it doesn\u2019t solve any problems.\u00a0 In 1994 Bill Clinton thought he had negotiated a deal that would stop North Korean from getting nuclear weapons.\u00a0 How\u2019d that work out? \u00a0At least some military experts think Korean is getting close to the point where they can launch nuclear armed missiles at the United States.<\/p>\n Incredibly Senator Coons, like a lot of liberal Democrats, is more focused on being politically correct than in protecting the country.\u00a0 What, exactly, is the point of signing any deal with a country that won\u2019t even agree to stop funding terrorism?\u00a0 Why, exactly, would Israel accept any deal with a country that won\u2019t even acknowledge Israel\u2019s right to exist.\u00a0 The real question is not whether or not congress should approve a deal. \u00a0The 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. \u00a0A war that had been won, inspite of Democratic opposition, by President Richard Nixon. \u00a0Now liberal Democrats are supporting this administration’s mad rush to sign a deal that makes the Neville Chamberlain \u201cPeace in our time\u201d<\/strong> agreement with Hitler looks like a diplomatic masterpiece in comparison. \u00a0This is not just insane, it is criminally insane.<\/p>\n TDM.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TDM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Congress passed a bill with bi-partisan support advising President Obama that congress has the right to approve or disapprove any deal with Iran.\u00a0 That is a very good thing.\u00a0 Unfortunately, there is more to the story.
