Iran Deal Backers 'Will Have Blood on Their Hands'
By Jennifer Wishon CBN News White House Correspondent Thursday, September 10, 2015
WASHINGTON -- Members of Congress are debating what many consider the most important vote of their careers: President Barack Obama's nuclear deal with Iran.
With the vote just one week away, both sides are applying pressure.
Meanwhile, the issue has also spread into the 2016 presidential campaign. In a rare move, GOP hopefuls Sen. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump joined forces on Capitol Hill to fight the deal.
"This Iranian nuclear deal is catastrophic," Cruz said.
The deal gives Iran hundreds of billions of dollars in relief from economic sanctions. Cruz says lawmakers who support it will have blood on their hands.
"The Obama administration will become quite literally the world's leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism," the Texas lawmaker said.
In his own unique way, Trump kept his remarks more general.
"We are led by very, very stupid people," the business mogul said. "Very, very stupid people."
Trump agreed with Cruz that the nuclear deal should have included freedom for Americans, such as Pastor Saeed Abedini jailed in Iran.
"If I win the presidency, I guarantee you that those four prisoners are back in our country before I ever take office," he vowed.
Meanwhile, Iran is beating its chest this week, with Ayatollah Khamenei predicting Israel will cease to exist in 25 years.
He also says Iran is done negotiating with the Great Satan, the United States.
"The big Iranian nation ousted this Great Satan," he said.
In a major victory for the president, more than enough senators have announced they'll support the deal. Still, opponents have launched a major lobbying campaign this week aimed at changing minds.
The vast majority of Americans are convinced the deal is bad. A new poll shows just 21 percent approve of it.
"A deal is when you get something in return," one person said. "We got nothing in return."
Another opponent observed, "They (Iran) think they have to make something awful happen to bring the Twelfth Imam to save the Muslim world. A nuclear bomb would be a great way to get that started and I'm afraid that's exactly what they're up to."
Presidential candidates from both parties promise to be tough on Iran.
"We should anticipate that Iran will test the next president. They'll want to see how far they can bend the rules. That won't work if I'm in the White House," Hillary Clinton said.
While many Democrats are lining up with the Obama administration, several high profile lawmakers like New York Sen. Chuck Schumer are voting no.
"If Iran's true intent is to get a nuclear weapon, under this agreement, it must simply exercise patience" Schumer warned.
The Senate has until next Thursday to take action on the deal. In an interesting twist, they're off Monday and Tuesday for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. The world will be waiting to see if that break makes an impact.
Interesting the timing of this. Tomorrow being 9/11. We have elected fools because they promised to rob our neighbors for our benefit. “We” meaning the majority. I don’t even recognize my country any longer.
sMudge McScareCrow also got the dirty votes in on 9/10 before the remembrance and awakened memories of tomorrows 9/11 observance. Slick, sick tasbards-— we wont forget their heresy and pox on them all for siding with evil islamic Iranian regime.
“”The Obama administration will become quite literally the world’s leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism”
And NOBODY dares to breath a word about impeachment.
Only because he knows his yes vote is not needed. Should it become necessary, he will vote yes. Just like RINO's pull on us.
All their names need to be carved in granite and buried deep somewhere so it won’t be damaged when their Mullah buddies start launching nukes. Future visitors to this planet deserve to know what happened. It was Barack and Johnny’s “legacy.”
It’s well-timed. Maybe our politicians will make Imad Mugniyeh’s birthday a national holiday, too.
Kabuki Theater
The battle was lost back in May when the Corker-Cardin Bill passed.
It passed in the Senate 98 to 1.
The only senator to vote against it is republican Tom Cotton from Arkansas.
One week later the bill passed in the House with 400 votes in favor and 25 against.
Unfortunately, I think many Iran deal backers, would be eager, and more than happy to see millions of Americans killed off. This doesn't bother these suck bags in the least.
•Members of the 9/11 Commission staff testified that Iran aided the hijackers by concealing their travel through Iran to access al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan. Iranian border inspectors refrained from stamping the passports of 8 to 10 of the 9/11 hijackers because evidence of travel through Iran would have prevented the hijackers from obtaining visas at U.S. embassies abroad or gaining entry into the United States. The 9/11 Commission Report addressed these facts and called for further investigation. 9/11 COMMISSION REPORT at pp. 240-41.
So Iran provided material resources for the 9/11 attack. Now we want to make sure they have more resources? This is treasonous.
wees neeeds to have a major housecleaning and street sweeping.
What we need is an enema.
Not to worry, when the you know what hits the fan, you won’t be able to find one person in congress who voted for it.
Treason is the Obungler's middle name.
Their children and grandchildren will SPIT on their graves!!
