Since we have a tenative deal with Iran on their nuke production…..and since I have already posted the screaming diatribe by Neta….whatever his name is……..I thought I would wait and see how our elected officials in Congress would react……it did not take long at all………

These are quotes by Congress people during the last couple of news cycles…..

“This is in essence it, and the deal has been made,” said Sen. Bob Corker, R- Tenn., the senior Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, implying that Congress really couldn’t undo the accord at this point.

Still, Corker warned that the Iranian regime “has consolidated their gains” and was now “spiking the football in the end zone” and claiming that it has the right to keep enriching uranium.

Sen. Charles Schumer, D- N.Y., said he was “disappointed” by the interim agreement “because it does not seem proportional. Iran simply freezes its nuclear capabilities while we reduce the sanctions…. This disproportionality…makes it more likely that Democrats and Republicans will join together and pass additional sanctions when we return in December.”

Senate Relations Committee chairman Sen. Robert Menendez, D- N.J. signaled in a statement Sunday that the Senate is likely to “provide for a six month window to reach a final agreement before imposing new sanctions on Iran,” even though sanctions would be “immediately available should the talks falter or Iran fail to implement or breach the interim agreement.”

Rep. Elliot Engel, D- N.Y., the senior Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and a strong supporter of Israel which has been sharply critical of the deal, said the accord “makes it very difficult to continue the sanctions” against Iran and indicated that Congress was unlikely to pass new sanctions at this point.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R- Va., said the interim deal was a mistake because it “explicitly and dangerously recognizes that Iran will be allowed to enrich uranium.”

House Speaker John Boehner said in a statement Sunday that unless Obama and his international partners press ahead to a final accord that dismantles Iran’s uranium and plutonium programs, then “we will look back on the interim deal as a remarkably clever Iranian move to dismantle the international sanctions regime” while maintaining its ability to pursue nuclear weapons.

Sen. Ben Cardin, D- Md., a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that “progress must be made during the next six months to have a more permanent elimination of Iran’s capacity to produce a nuclear weapon. If not, the sanctions are re-imposed. And I think Congress will be watching this very closely…. We will not stand by and just let this be the final deal.”

House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Mike Rogers, R- Mich., said on CNN’s State of the Union, “We have just rewarded very bad and dangerous behavior. Think about what this agreement does. It says ‘you can continue to enrich.’ That’s what the Iranians believe and they have made no changes – no changes — in the development of their nuclear weapon program….”

In a statement early Sunday morning, Sen. Marco Rubio, R – Fla., a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a potential contender for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, blasted the agreement.

Rubio argued that it “makes a nuclear Iran more likely. There is now an even more urgent need for Congress to increase sanctions until Iran completely abandons its enrichment and reprocessing capabilities.”

“The administration has gotten it backwards and it is time to reverse course before any further damage is done,” Cruz said in a statement.

Just a few of the notable comments from the talking heads in DC…….and since the militant ass PM of Israel has thumped his chest I was thinking that AIPAC would get its lackeys to do the same……

I got to thinking….maybe it would be interesting to see how much cash was paid to these people by the AIPAC (American Israel Political Action Comm)…….I went to the website Maplight, which tracks money in politics to see if they could help me with my search………and they were extremely helpful……..and here is what I found about our Congress people in order of the above comments……

Sen. Corker–$114,770

Sen. Schumer–$248,149

Sen. Menendez..$344,670

Rep. Engel–$94,150

Rep. Cantor–$209,410

Rep. Boehner–$129,924

Sen. Cardin–$267,542

Rep. Rogers–$26,200

Sen. Rubio–?…..could not find a total but if he runs for prez he will be on their payroll soon enough

Sen. Cruz–$39,354…2016 is coming…he will get more….

As you can see their money is well spent…..and their lackeys do their job well…..

In case you have not understood the deal with Iran….a very short synopsis…..

Without going into a lot of technical detail (which can be read here), the point is this: The agreement makes it impossible for the Iranians to make any further progress toward making a nuclear weapon in the next six months—and, if the talks break down after that, and the Iranians decide at that point to start building a nuclear arsenal, it will take them much longer to do so.

In exchange for these restraints, the P5+1 nations agree to free up about $6 billion of Iran’s long-frozen foreign assets. This amounts to a very small percentage of the sanctions imposed on Iran’s energy and financial sectors. Meanwhile, all other sanctions will remain in place and continue to be vigorously enforced; the agreement doesn’t affect those sanctions at all. The U.S. Congress does have to agree not to impose additional sanctions in the next six months. If it imposes them anyway, they must know that this agreement—and the international coalition holding the sanctions in place—will collapse. Even this Congress is likely to hold off. If it does go ahead and passes a bill imposing new sanctions, Obama will certainly veto it.

And this post is………… WHY I AM HERE!

You’re welcome!
