I used to say that watching the statist progressive Left dealing with Iran was like looking back into history, when the pacifists were trying to make deals with Nazi Germany. "It feels like the 1930s," I said. Now, I realize, it is something much, much worse.
The deal that John Kerry went to France to help assemble, the one that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called, ". . .a very, very bad deal," gives Iran everything she wants, and sets the Islamic theocracy on its way to creating the chaos they believe must be achieved to free the 12th Imam, and launch worldwide jihad.
Except, it looks like the deal may not come to fruition in the next couple weeks as originally planned, and the Democrats seem to be more concerned about figuring out a way to get around the Republicans in Congress who have been demanding the deal take a constitutional path of Senate ratification.
With a deal in place, with would be accompanied by a lot of extra money pumped into Iran, and no worries about their nuclear plans being thwarted, it would be expected that an increase of Iranian oil into the world market may send oil prices lower than we've already been experiencing.
If a deal with Iran is not reached, the Democrats are surely preparing a whole list of accusations to blame the Republicans for the failure, placing the letter to Tehran that any deal will require congressional approval at the top of their list. Proponents of the deal say that it would allow six major powers in the West to lift sanctions against Iran, as if that is better than the current situation. And, with or without sanctions, Iran would still remain less than a year away (if they haven't already achieved it) from nuclear weapons capable of destroying Israel, U.S. targets in the region, and targets in Europe. Some have even speculated that with Russian delivery systems, Iran is already capable of striking the eastern United States.
The negotiators are giving the likelihood of a deal materializing by the end of March a 50-50 chance, though experts are assured that talks will continue even if the end of March deadline is not met. Meanwhile, back home, even a number of Democrats have been aligning with Republicans, requiring the rogue President to seek congressional approval for any deal.
According to Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Obama's deal with Iran would allow Iran to keep its nuclear infrastructure intact, and the President has already indicated he believes he can strike a deal without Congress being involved, saying it is not "technically" a treaty.
Congress is planning, if Obama strikes the deal, to bring up legislation that would give Congress 60 days to back or reject a deal, despite the White House calling for the GOP to hold off. If no deal is reached, McConnell said he would press ahead with toughening sanctions on Iran.
Saudi Arabia also believes the deal is a bad one, indicating that allowing Iran to continue along her nuclear endeavors will create a Middle East Nuclear Fuel Race, and Iran has already shown aggression in the region, "expanding its occupation of Iraq."
