President Obama wont allow Congress to review two key aspects of the Iranian Nuclear deal, Republican lawmakers learned from international partners last week.
Under the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the International Atomic Energy Agency would negotiate separately with Iran about the inspection of a facility long-suspected of being used to research long-range ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons.
The Obama administration has failed to make public separate side deals that have been struck for the inspection of one of the most important nuclear sitesthe Parchin military complex, said Representative Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.) in a statement Tuesday. Not only does this violate the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, it is asking Congress to agree to a deal that it cannot review.
The IAEA has been trying to gain access to the Parchin site since 2005, but Iran has refused, even as it apparently demolished various parts of the complex. The hardliners do not want to grant any concessions unless Iran is suitably rewarded, International Institute for Strategic Studies director Mark Fitzpatrick told the BBC in 2014, after reports emerged of explosions at the base.
The terms of the current agreement wouldnt allow Congress to review any concessions the IAEA makes to get into the site. Even members of Congress who are sympathetic to this deal cannot and must not accept a deal we arent even aware of, said Pompeo.
The IAEA will also separately negotiate how the IAEA and Iran will resolve outstanding issues on possible military dimensions of Irans nuclear program, according to a release from Pompeos office.
Senator Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) and Pompeo, who serves on the House Intelligence Committee, learned of the arrangement while meeting with the IAEA in Vienna, Austria last week. That we are only now discovering that parts of this dangerous agreement are being kept secret begs the question of what other elements may also be secret and entirely free from public scrutiny, Cotton said in a statement to the press.
they should stop talking and kill the treaty period..tired of the BS
We are sick of being ‘governed’ by the personal whims and childish methods of this incompetent moron ... INSTEAD of the Constitution and the LONG-STANDING laws in this country!
incompetent moron...on a good day
This is the kind of thing Trump, Carly, and Cruz should attack with a full court press.
This is BEYOND pass it to find out what is in it.
Now, the idea is to pass it without knowing what is in it, and still not know what is in it.
If they pass it, they are essentially stepping in it.
But the incompetent GOP crowd will let it go. They just want to make nice with Obama because he will call them racists and the blacks won’t vote for them. Same old chestnut.
“Full Details to Congess...”
Since when is there a Congress and since when does the freely elected dictator of the proletariat need to explain himself?
(Just saying)
IMHO
Just why don’t the capons and geldings in congress do something? These feckless nincompoops were elected to stop this lawlessness. Of course, that assumes that they aren’t complicit in the murder of Lady Liberty and the Constitution.
"Transparency" no longer means what it used to.
I would submit that Obama isn't as incompetent as those in a position to stop him...Boehner and McConnell are. (unless they're complicit) And what about the fools who made McConnell and Boehner their leaders....again.
Let set a new standard. Would Trump have negotiated this deal?
“But the incompetent GOP crowd will let it go.”
They couldn’t be this incompetent. They must be in collusion with the Obama admin to sell out America and out allies.
“If elected, we will work with President Obama”
-Mitch and Jonbon
Enjoy your lesser evil folks. you elected it.
Yeah.... we’re going to find out if Trump is serious or not. He should go after this deal.
"If only I had Enemies of my people able and ready to kill them
like your King Obama has,
I would have just exterminated Parliament... and won."
Defund everything or quit whining!
Good post.
I recently had a chance to get a comment into my local POS GOPe guy. He was pointing out he voted against the trade bill. I asked, why did you vote to bring it to the floor in the first place if you intended to vote against it. Ignored my comment.
I am so tired of these clowns playing us for suckers. Today’s mail had in it a letter from the RNC asking leading questions and to each one I said, why ask when you do nothing. And no, I am not sending in a dime.
Congress is going to give him a pass on this one, too. They’ve had opportunity after opportunity to impeach him and have done nothing but bow down to The Won and ask for more of their powers to be snatched away.
If congress accepts this then I’ll seriously reconsider whether I should ever vote Republican ever again.
I agree.
Even IF the history books document the “O” failures and crimes... (and that’s a big IF) the others who are complicit will not be taking the blame... HE will. It’s all happening on HIS watch.
However, I don’t expect the historical record to be THAT truthful.
