“An unprecedented act of surrender”

Bolton calls Iran deal ‘unprecedented’ surrender

by Mark Hensch

Former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton said Saturday that President Obama is negotiating “an unprecedented act of surrender” with Iran in discussions over its nuclear weapons program.
 
“This deal is fundamentally flawed,” Bolton said at the South Carolina National Security Action Summit in West Columbia, S.C. “There really is no deal I’d trust Iran with. It is a regime determined to have nuclear weapons and this deal will give it to them.”

Repeat:

“There really is no deal I’d trust Iran with. It is a regime determined to have nuclear weapons and this deal will give it to them.”

Tom Cotton was correct, Rudy Giuliani was correct, and I was correct.

Controversy erupted over an open letter Republicans sent Iran’s leadership Monday. It vowed Congress can void any deal it finds unsatisfying and was signed by 47 GOP senators.

And the forty-seven Congressmen are correct.

Bolton rebuked the president’s response as unjustified Saturday. He said the Senators were not traitors, but rather lawmakers who “stood up for the Constitution.”
“The president coddles the Iranian ayatollah and attacks his own countrymen and our closest allies over this deal,” Bolton said Saturday. “The danger we hope to avoid is now imminent. This is just one example of how the President doesn’t care about America’s national security.”

I completely concur.  I wrote why I believe Mr Obama is willing to make such terrible concessions to Iran in my post “Obama: protecting Islam and Iran.”  I said that  “relations between Israel and Barack Hussein Obama have always been rocky.  I believe this is because Mr Obama sympathizes with Muslims and disdains Jews.  This is in consideration of his upbringing and his education, amongst other things.”

Bolton said Saturday that Obama’s eagerness for a deal would give Tehran a “free pass” for nuclear arms. He said American voters should thus make national security the central issue of 2016’s presidential elections.

There is no denying this statement whatsoever; it became true in 2008 and is equally true today:

“The gravest threat to our national security sits in the Oval Office,” Bolton said. “The next two years can’t pass swiftly enough. For God’s sake, let’s not make the same mistake in 2016.”

Mr Obama is one who makes US allies an enemy, and US enemies a friend.

Tom Cotton stirs it up:

Tom CottonTom Cotton, a Freshman Republican, has certainly struck the hornet’s nest with a major rhythm stick.

From the NYTimes.com:

Senator Behind Iran Letter Is Latest Freshman Republican to Stir Things Up

by Jennifer Steinhauer

WASHINGTON — First there was Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who held up bills, conducted an antidrone talk-a-thon and generally annoyed his colleagues. Next was Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who whipped up a campaign that shut down the government.

Now comes Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, another Republican freshman, whose letter to the leaders of Iran warning against a nuclear deal with the Obama administration has caused an international uproar.

At 37, Mr. Cotton is the youngest member of the Senate and had served as of Wednesday exactly 65 days. A graduate of Harvard and Harvard Law School, Mr. Cotton served as an infantry officer in the 101st Airborne Division in Iraq in 2006, one of the bloodiest periods of the war.

But what did Cotton actually advocate?

Kerry LetterMore importantly:

Leaders in the House noted Mr. Cotton’s intellect and the fact that he showed little willingness to compromise on legislation, even when the leadership wanted him to. In 2014, he campaigned in a camouflage-themed recreational vehicle against the Democratic incumbent, Senator Mark Pryor, and handily beat him.

Let’s face it, Mr Obama’s “deal” with Iran includes concessions just short of abject capitulation to the Iranians.  It would leave Iran’s nuclear infrastructure primarily intact, including heavy water reactors and at least 6,000 centrifuges.  It would even allow work to continue on Iran’s ballistic missile program.

The “deal” will also sunset in 10 to 15 years, allowing Iran to do anything it wishes thereafter.

Because Mr Obama is the smartest man in DC and in every room, just what did he receive from Iran in terms of concessions?

Let’s see: uh, nothing.

That’s right, Mr Obama is clearly a hard-line negotiator when dealing with the Muslim world, by God!

Sanctions would actually be lifted on Iran, in “exchange” for Iran allowing inspection of its nuclear facilities — something it’s supposed to already be doing — yet the IAEA finds itself currently stymied at most every turn by Iran.  Already.

DC and Obama are pissed because Cotton dares to point out the lack of clothing on Emperor Obama.
