DEM CONGRESSMAN: WITH SANCTIONS RELIEF, IRAN CAN JUST BUY A NUKE FROM NORTH KOREA
Frontpage Mag ^ | 08/01/2015 | Daniel Greenfield

There are a whole lot of things with Obama's Iran deal and even Democrats are pointing out some of the absurdities of it.

REP. BRAD SHERMAN (D-CA): I talked to [President Obama] about a host of things.

One concern I have is whether Iran will simply be able to purchase a bomb from North Korea. This deal will give them $56 billion.

Iran has already spent over $100 billion on the program because what it wants is indigenous weapons technology that it can develop and export without having to rely on a crazy dictator in North Korea, but if it were to decide it wanted a bomb fast, it could very well do something like that.

Sherman also stated that the agreement would not stand.

"My goal is to make it clear that this agreement Is not binding on the American people, Congress, or future Administrations. We're going to have to force a renegotiation of this deal - if not now, then in the years to come."

Sherman joins fellow Democrat Congresswoman Grace Meng who had stated,

I strongly believe the world could and should have a better deal than that set forth in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which I will therefore oppose.

And Congressman Juan Vargas who said,

Rather than demand Iran's bad behavior be corrected, this agreement rewards it. In Iran, they're calling the coming payday a "nuclear feast." And we know what the main course at that feast will be - terrorism. Iran has spent decades directing and funding terrorism against the United States and our allies.

I intend to stand up and vote against this deal. This is not a partisan issue. This is an issue of our national security, and the security of our allies and I urge my colleagues to join me in opposing this deal and press for a better deal that will truly end Iran's nuclear weapons program and make the world safer. 

The case for the Iran deal is failing even with the administration's own party.

That can’t be. Bill Clinton signed a deal with NorKo to prevent them from getting nuked up.

I am not sure if a Norky Nuke would even work.

I think their last Nuke was .2kt and based on Pakistani design.
Probably reactor grade Plutonium.

Could it be that this deal is so bad because they WANT IT to fail?

Then Iran can so “Oh well, we would have agreed to 15 years delay, instead we will build nukes right now”

After all, they don’t care if they have an agreement, they are going to disregard it anyway.

And getting sanctions lifted was their only concern

Iranian born Jarrett, and the entire WH Muslim Brotherhood staff are ecstatic that their Muslim brother, BHO, has paved the way for ridding them of the Jewish pestilence that occupies their land and all the free money he has bestowed upon them while destroying the Great Satan right with the approval of the idiot Americans right in fron of their faces. Surely Hitler would be jealous at his accomplishments. All hail Obama and Allah

anyone who does not think Iran has the bomb is fooling themselves...I think that Iran has had it for a few years and right now is trying to get the resources together to miniaturize it enough to use it as a weapon that can be delivered from a missile system.

Bomb Iran now and kill their leaders. It is better to do this now then when they destroy several cities and kill millions with nuclear bombs.
