47 Senators led by Senator Cotton posted online a letter to that effect.
We have to stop being stupid.
If a criminal has his hands on $150+ Billion, your idea to send letters to foreign powers and organizations who think the US Government led by Obama is a joke, is a useless gesture. Such letters objecting to the criminal’s proximity to the $$$ is in fact following their view that the USA is a joke. A much stronger action is necessary.
To be clearer, if a criminal holds a gun to your head, your protestations that it is against the law or disapproved by the residents to pull the trigger, is in fact a joke. It is laughable. The only way such protestations can be taken seriously is if you have a bigger threat against of the criminal. Hence, a response stronger than letters of protestation is vital.
When Obama threatened to go to the UN, which he has already done, it was to get the $$$ and gold released. Letters of protest at this stage are impotent.
The appropriate action to take with Obama and with the future are two-fold:
1) Impeach and remove Obama,
2) Prepare for war and declare war on Iran.
The first item will not happen because leadership in Congress has been compromised. The grounds for 1) are failure to uphold the Constitution by circumventing Congress’ treaty powers and attendant treason in aiding enemies of the United States without participation and approval of Congress.
The second item will happen as a consequence of Obama facilitating the release of the $$$. War will happen in a couple of years as a consequence of what Obama has done. The declaration of war is necessary because all global powers need to be put on notice that any assistance to Iran, their agents or partners will be considered an act of war. The declaration must include a clear statement that the mission is defined as the complete defeat in every respect of the regime in Iran.
Reinstating sanctions and the necessity of increasing them are no longer possible because Obama has abdicated global leadership by the United states with his circumvention of Congress.
Congress will not pass a Declaration of War against Iran. The United States is not ordinarily an offensive power (Obama and Hillary Clinton’s contrived war on Libya is an exception). The United States is ordinarily a reactionary power to aggressors by serving as a global police power but this is no longer the case. The United States will not engage in war unless perhaps it is attacked and even then there will likely be blocks by those that have a different agenda. Even if the United States is attacked, even if the American people support a war declaration, it is not a given that such a declaration by Congress will be passed because it is no longer certain that Congress in this era serves as a representational body for the American people. This latter warning will be more clear this coming September 9 as Ted Cruz and Donald Trump lead a protest of the Iran Deal in Washington DC. I predict the protest will have zero effect on the Iran Deal vote in Congress and in fact as both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have stated, the $$$ is already in transition so any protest is for symbolic reasons only.
Obama will not be impeached and convicted.
The dollars released to Iran will not be stopped.
We will not declare war on Iran.
That makes the letters to various world bodies important as notice that our law have not been followed with this treaty, and that it is, therefore, not to be considered legitimate or binding, that it is revocable.
We will at least be able, without international legal liability, be able to revoke the provisions that prevent us from blocking Iran’s becoming a nuclear power; and it will remove our requirement to protect Iran.
That is something. And, of course, we can reimpose our own sanctions.
