- “Congressional rejection of this deal leaves any U.S. administration that is absolutely committed to preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon with one option: another war in the Middle East,” says the president.
(
The choice is blatantly false.
Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the joint chiefs,
reiterated that
“we have a range of options” should the deal fail, along with Admiral Richardson, the nominee to be the next chief of naval operations.
...war would not result from the rejection of the deal.
A war is more likely to result if Iran obtains a nuclear weapon, which the deal makes easier over the long run.
The purpose of politics is to create conditions that make it more likely that a country will win a war. And that is
exactly what the Iranians are doing with this flawed agreement.
...there are
options other than the deal or a war in the Middle East, despite Obama’s insistence that “we would be standing alone” if this deal fails.
In 2013, Secretary of State John Kerry
stated that
no deal is better than a bad deal. Despite his reassurances, the administration delivered a bad deal.
The way to fix the situation is to stop promoting the bad deal and rather devote as much effort and political capital to
strengthening the sanctions regime.
The sanctions regime is the key to slowing down Iran’s nuclear program. Sanctions were
effective, according to the administration."
