Obama's Surrender to Iran

Shoula Romano Horing / American Thinker

It is a sad moment in history when the president of the dictatorial Iranian Islamic regime’s characterization of the recently signed nuclear deal made last Sunday sounds more credible and believable than that of President Obama, the leader of the free world. While Obama hailed the deal on Sunday January 12, which implemented the nuclear agreement made between Iran and six world powers last November, as a great diplomatic breakthrough which “marks the first time in a decade” that Iran agreed to “halt progress in its nuclear program” and even “roll back” some it, President Rouhani described it as representing the” surrender” of the Western powers to Iran’s demands.

A bill, proposed by fellow Democrat Bob Menendez and Republican Mark Kirk to threaten harder sanctions on Iran if no final agreement to dismantle the nuclear enrichment program is reached in the next six months, has the votes to pass in the U.S. Senate with 43 Republicans and 16 Democrats cosponsoring it. However, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, has blocked the legislation from coming to a vote at the White House’s request. The White house is further threatening to veto the bill if passed. The bill needs 67 supporters to override a veto. While only two Republicans do not support the bill, many of the senators from the Democratic Party who have benefitted greatly from U.S. Jewish votes and donations are against it including many Jewish senators.

Ten committee chairmen in the Democratic-led Senate have pushed back against the new legislation. Sadly, but predictably, among committee chairs opposed to advancing the bill now are four leading Jewish senators who supposedly claim to be pro-Israel. They are: Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the Chairwoman of the Intelligence Committee; Carl Levin (D-Mich.), the Chairman of the Armed Services Committee; Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), the Chairwoman of the Environment Committee; and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), the Chairman of the Energy Committee.
