I got this email, and my head is spinning trying to get who is or is not doing what,
or saying one thing and doing another. Can someone please summarize?
If one Lib and one Con can please spell this out, where both agree on the points, both positive and negative,
I can confirm how much is information, how much is spin, and how much is political skewed. Thanks!
It's about the Iran deal, the Corker clause, and whether the Constitution is being bypassed or twisted around?
---------------------
The "Corker Betrayal" Is Now Moot. Iran Has Violated It. Barack Obama Has Violated It. Jettison It And Tell Obama NO!
Yes, while you were among the first to act on the news, everyone is now aware of what was really happening. There was a reason why spineless Republicans, led by Senator Bob Corker, voted to effectively suspend Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution back in May.
Instead of following the Constitution and requiring that a 2/3rds vote of the United States Senate would be needed to ratify this Iran deal, the "Corker Betrayal" turned the Constitution on its head and effectively required that it would require a 2/3rds majority of both Houses of Congress to nix it.
But... there's something you are not being told. That's not EXACTLY what happened... Iran's ballistic missile and conventional military weapons programs were NEVER supposed to be part of the deal. Essentially, Obama and the Iranian mullahs pulled the old bait-and-switch and Congress passed the Corker Betrayal under false pretenses.
Andrew McCarthy, writing for National Review explains what is really going on:"Congress and the public were led to believe that the administration was negotiating to deprive Iran of nuclear capabilities. The president, in stark contrast, has struck an agreement that obliges the United States and other nations to build up Iran's nuclear capabilities. That is not just outside the scope of what Obama led Congress to believe he was doing; it is the opposite of what he said he was doing – and patently unacceptable."
But that's not all. McCarthy goes on to say: "That is not what Iran and the Obama administration led the American people and its elected representatives to believe they were negotiating. Indeed, Iran has claimed all along – implausibly but assiduously – that its nuclear activities are entirely peaceful and have nothing to do with weaponizing uranium and plutonium.... It was over the nuclear program alone that the administration told Congress it was negotiating; that is why the statutory sanctions against that program are the narrow subject of the Corker Bill."
In other words, Obama and the mullahs of Iran pulled a bait-and-switch on Congress... shame on Corker and naïve Republicans for allowing themselves to be snookered in the first place...
And now that the deception is out in the open, McCarthy also explains what must happen next: "If you scrutinize [Barack] Obama's Iran nuclear deal, you find that [Obama] ignores the existence of the Corker process. So should Congress... The Congress, particularly the Senate, has not only a clear justification but a constitutional duty to scrap the legally defective and, now, factually nigh-irrelevant Corker review process, codified as the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015."
But that's not all... after pulling the wool over the eyes of elected officials who were all too willingly fooled, Barack Obama unveiled his double-cross by announcing that he was taking his Iran deal to the United Nations BEFORE Congress even had the opportunity to vote in accordance with the now moot Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015.
The steps our elected officials must now take should be apparent. The Obama bait-and-switch and the ensuing double-cross must not be allowed to stand, but whether or not they find the backbone to do what must be done is now in your hands.
======================
Perhaps that's why Obama has lied throughout the entire process and continues to lie. Here are some of the bigger Obama whoppers:
"Today... We Have Stopped The Spread Of Nuclear Weapons In This Region."That's a blatant lie. Even if Iran does not renege on the deal (and it will), the deal actually gives Iran a clear pathway to obtain nuclear weapons in the foreseeable future. Moreover, Obama has actually ensured that an arms race in the Middle East will now escalate. As former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton put it: "We have given Iran the path it has been seeking for almost 35 years. The other states in the region are not going to sit idly by, which is why in effect the nuclear arms race is already underway."
"Inspectors Will Also Be Able To Access Any Suspicious Location... Where Necessary, When Necessary." That's another lie. The truth is there is a potential window of up to 24 days from the time when a request is made to visit a suspicious location to the time when the visit may actually occur. Of course, such a window would give Iran more than enough time to conceal any violations of the deal. Also, an"independent commission" will be empowered to review all requests and the provisions of the faux deal also allow Iran to contest the request and even reject it outright.
"If Iran Violates The Deal, All Of [The] Sanctions Will Snap Back Into Place."That's yet another lie. More than being false, this Obama fabrication is probably the most fanciful, as "snapping back" any sanctions is tantamount to closing the barn door after the horses have fled. The United States is required to release $150 Billion dollars in frozen assets to Iran immediately. If Iran breaks the deal, how is the United States going to get those frozen assets back from Iran? Answer: It's impossible. Moreover, as ForeignPolicy.com reports: "The phrase 'snap back' is vivid, and conveys precisely the sort of rapid, alert, and decisive action skeptical hawks have been demanding... But if sanctions really do 'snap back' as promised, it would be an unprecedented episode of economic diplomacy."
There are more lies but you get the picture. The question that sane Americans should be asking is why did the Obama Regime tell so many lies and engage in so many bait-and-switches to enable the world's greatest sponsor of global terrorism to obtain nuclear weapons?
We'll allow you to answer that question yourself but one thing is clear. The Corker Bill is now moot and as Andrew McCarthy says, Congress "has not only a clear justification but a constitutional duty to scrap the legally defective and, now, factually nigh-irrelevant Corker review process, codified as the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015."
It's time for Congress to scrap the "Corker Betrayal" and simply tell Barack Obama NO!
