What Kerry and Obama Tried to Keep from Congress and the Public
National Review ^ | 07/24/2015 | by FRED FLEITZ

This week brought the stunning news that Senator Tom Cotton and Representative Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.) had discovered, during a meeting with IAEA officials, the existence of secret side deal between the IAEA and Tehran — a side deal that will not, like the main nuclear agreement, be shared with Congress. So critics of the agreement were understandably eager to hear an explanation from Secretary of State John Kerry when he and other senior administration officials testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday.

The hearing produced a new bombshell: In its investigation of Iran’s past nuclear-weapons-related work, the IAEA will rely on Iran to collect samples at its Parchin military base and other locations.

As a former intelligence analyst experienced in the collection of environmental samples for investigations of weapons of mass destruction, I found this allegation impossible to believe when I heard Senator James Risch (R., Idaho) make it yesterday morning.

In his questioning of administration witnesses, Risch said:

Parchin stays in place. Now, does that sound like it’s for peaceful purposes? Let me tell you the worst thing about Parchin. What you guys agreed to was [that] we can’t even take samples there. The IAEA can’t take samples there. [Iranians are] going to be able to test by themselves! Even the NFL wouldn’t go along with this. How in the world can you have a nation like Iran doing their own testing?

. . . We're to trust Iran to do this? This is a good deal? This is what we were told we were going to get when we were told, “Don’t worry, we’re going to be watching over their shoulder and we’re going to put in place verification[s] that are absolutely bullet proof”? We’re going to trust Iran to do their own testing?

“Dr. Ahkmed...we need to send samples to the godless Americans. Please go outside and collect some urine from the camels.”

Who will dare to call this treason? Selling out Israel was one of the main goals of Obama when doing this deal with his fellow Muslims. It’s as plain as the nose on your face.

The Congress has AGAIN been urinated upon by the Horror Story in the Oval Office. The Congress now has the opportunity to stick this “deal” right where it belongs and do what is right for world security.

Anyone with their head on straight knew from the beginning that that this deal was a joke;a giveaway to the Iranians.

Treason indeed. I must be addressed.

It’s impossible not to conclude that Obama is intentionally selling America out to Islam.

Another hearing produces another bombshell that like all other hearings... comes and goes!

I would just once liked to be surprised that information acquired in hearing would produce consequences.
