Iran Celebrates


We have a deal with Iran. The deal is worse than anyone ever imagined possible, with the exception of the current Administration. It’s a very bad deal for America and the Middle East, which is something I know a little bit about after living and doing consulting in that part of the world. It’s a great deal for the Iranian regime. It's a deal that gives the Iranian regime $140 billion in return for almost nothing: no dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program, no anytime/anywhere inspections, no curbs on Iran's ballistic missile program, no maintenance of the arms embargo, and no halt to Iran's sponsorship of state terrorism. Yes, indeed, this is a great deal for Iran at the expense of our moderate Arab friends in the Middle East.

So, will Congress do its due diligence and have a debate and then pass a resolution of disapproval?  I don’t think so.  Congress being “milk-toast,*” as it is, will simply acquiesce and do absolutely nothing.

*Milk-toast is defined as being easily dominate, extremely mild, ineffectual, namby-pamby, and wishy-washy. Umm. That pretty well defines this Congress.
