Playing Politics With National Security

Opponents of the Iran deal in Congress admit they can no longer kill the accord (see below). Their focus now is making sure there will be a vote on the agreement at all, and salvaging some political benefit from their well-funded bid to stop it. The politics of it all are explained below.
From our (NSR’s) perspective, opponents’ efforts have been laudable, but as is often the case, they were TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.
As we’ve said numerous times on these pages, many of these efforts were for show. The Bipartisan Myth, the downgrading of Jews, the perfidy of establishment American Jewish organizations, the dismissal of Israeli Intel, the pressure, the Lies, Damned Lies & BO Lies, all these things, including Congress’ August recess as European businesses flocked to Iran, all these things ensured that whatever happened in Congress, the Iran deal would be a done deal.
The time to take action was BEFORE talks began. We knew years ago that Iran had it all it needed to build nukes (e.g., see “They Have it All“), and were simply working on delivery systems. The so-called talks gave Iran the time it needed.
The additional concessions made to Iran under the deal – BILLIONS of dollars, the lifting of restrictions on the acquisition of conventional weapons and ballistic missiles, etc. – were just icing on the cake.
And so once again, ‘Never Again‘ is being trumped by ‘Too Little, Too Late‘.
