Who will stop the Iran deal?

The story I expect to be the really big one this week is the deal with Iran. Roger L. Simon writes at PJ Media,
While the Donald Trump sideshow has been sucking the oxygen from the news cycle over the last few days, the Obama administration has been off quietly doing what they do best — undermining America and the free world at every opportunity.

This time it’s the big one, finally bringing home the long-awaited Iran deal that promises peace in our time with the Islamic Republic much as Neville Chamberlain promised peace with Nazi Germany, although, unlike the Chamberlain agreement, made when Britain was militarily weak, we are the military powerhouse giving away the store to the vastly weaker side — and that store is reported to include a “signing bonus” of some fifty billion bucks, good news indeed for Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthi, the Revolutionary Guards and, among other mass murderers, Bashar al-Assad.

Of course, this “deal” was obtained via a virtual litany of rolled-back red lines on the American side that allow for no real way of ascertaining if Iran is cheating or doing much of anything if they do. And, as we all know, they already have cheated, multiple times and as recently as last month.

...Obama and Co. are betting the Islamic regime does not take its own ideology seriously. That’s a bet I wouldn’t want to make. The Republican base was angry that their representatives did not step forward to stop Obamacare. Well, Obamacare is obviously trivial compared to nuclear war. And now we have sixteen and growing candidates before the national media. Lady and gentlemen, the time is now. Do something.
