The Iran Deal: Normalizing A Mortal Threat To Humanity
The Aspen Times (CO) ^ | July 16, 2015 | Melanie Sturm

As capitulations to Iran’s theocracy dragged on, numbing Americans to the civilization-imperiling consequences of the planet’s most lethal terrorist state possessing nuclear weapons capability, a political sideshow emerged.

Two blunt iconoclasts, billionaire Donald Trump and self-described socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, are encouraging Americans to Think Again about policies that undercut our interests, drawing surprisingly large crowds, breathless media attention and lofty poll numbers.

Causing the collective eyes of the political class to roll, Trump and Sanders resonate with a pablum-fed electorate starving for authentic debate, policies aligned with citizens’ concerns and leaders who say what they mean and mean what they say.

Witness the deceptions being used to normalize the mortal threat posed by Tuesday’s nuclear deal with Iran’s genocidal Ayatollahs. They’ve sponsored a slow-motion jihad against America ever since revolutionaries seized our embassy and hostages in 1979, asserting their constitution’s commitment to “universal holy government and the downfall of all others.”

Do politicians mean what they’ve consistently said about dismantling the nuclear program of the “Death to America”-dedicated Iranian theocracy? Will they claim the accord prevents an Iranian bomb when it merely delays it? Are they intentionally confusing us about what verifiable means, insisting the accord’s Iranian-approved “access where necessary, when necessary” meets the original “go anywhere-anytime” inspection standard?

It’s deja vu considering Britain’s Neville Chamberlain hailed the Munich Agreement with Hitler for delivering “peace with honor,” and President Bill Clinton called the North Korea nuclear deal — which relied on verification — “The first step on the road to a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula.”

Today's Rasmussen poll is very encouraging to those who oppose the deal and are lobbying Congress to do the same:

• 65% (up from 60% in March after the GOP letter to Tehran) believe any agreement regarding the Iranian nuclear program requires the approval of Congress; • 60% say it’s unlikely Iran will comply with the terms of this agreement; • Only 22% believe the agreement will make the Middle East safer.

Given voter sentiments, it would be very hard for Obama to veto Congress’s disapproval of the Iran deal, which is why the next 58 days of congressional review and debate on the agreement are crucial.

“Given voter sentiments, it would be very hard for Obama to veto Congress’s disapproval of the Iran deal”

Since last November, the House & Senate leaders have given Obama 100% of everything he wants. There is no opposition party.

It’s even worse, reporters are castigating one of their own for even asking a question about this deal.

The media is complicit with the coming nuclear war.
