The inevitable apologist asks for ‘5 good reasons’ to kill the deal.
Asking for 5 good reasons why the Iran deal should go down in flames begs the question…when is it ever a good idea to give terror sponsors nuclear capability?
Getting past that, the following are additional convincing reasons to kill the deal…
2) Iran is recognized universally as the global leader in sponsoring terror;
3) Iran would receive $150+ BILLION in sanctions relief as part of the deal, without any assurances that the billions would not be used to fund more terror acts;
4) Iran would be allowed to continue and EXPAND NUCLEAR efforts;
5) The ‘deal’ does not allow America to participate in monitoring inspections;
6) The ‘deal’ allows ONLY Iran to provide inspections of what they’ve done so far;
7) The ‘deals’ so-called ‘snapback’ sanction capability is neutered by language that says sanctions CAN’T be ‘snapped back’ once they’ve been waived/rescinded;
8) The deal ignores major facilities involved in their weaponizing aspects, and aren’t part of the deal in terms of ANY inspection process;
9) The Obama administration has openly admitted (as far back as 2010) that Iran is, has been, and continues working with al-Qaeda;
10) The Iranian long-range ballistic missile program doesn’t belong in a ‘deal’ that was only supposed to be about a nuclear program (unless of course you consider that they’re only meant for deployment of nuclear warheads);
11) America, as part of the deal, is REQUIRED to aid Iran in PROTECTING the program of which we are not allowed inspection verification capabilities?
If any sane person got past the first sentence and its question without having real doubts, did they get past #2…#3…surely not #4…before realizing it’s a bad deal?
And we never got into the ‘we refuse any inspections that will discover how badly we violated past sanctions’ verbiage…
…that defies determining where any ‘deal’ starting point should be!
(B-T-W, all of the above can be verified on a universal group of news sites. So, it’s fruitless for apologists to dismiss the above as ‘Fox News’ talking points.)
Apologists should produce hard evidence that refutes the above…or shut up.
And please…spare us the NBC/ABC/CBS empty talking points.
