(My new American Thinker post)
We learned today that the UN Security Council has voted its support
for the Iran deal:
The U.N. Security Council on Monday unanimously endorsed the Iran nuclear
deal, though the show of support was interrupted shortly afterward by a war of
words between the American and Iranian ambassadors.
By the way, the Iranian representative got angry that US Ambassador Powers
brought up human rights.
Human rights? Why weren't we screaming about human rights before the deal
was agreed to? It's a bit late now to talk about human rights after we just
handed a chunk of change to Iran.
Of course, the real question is this: Why are we going to the UN before
going the US Congress?
The answer is two fold:
First, President Obama knows that he does not have a majority of Congress.
He is hoping that a UN vote will influence Democrats. They will hear The White
House say that the US must join the community of nations. Is this
same community where very few leaders are elected by their people?
The deal is in trouble with Democrats because of Israel. This deal is a
loyalty test for Democrats, as reported by The Hill.
Second, the UN's approval distracts us from the insanity of this deal.
The Obama-Kerry approach is based on a dangerous idea, i.e. let's be nice and
they will be nice. Can anyone cite a historical example for this? Or is
this another example of Obama believing that his personality is the bottom
line?
Of course, the members of the UN Security Council approved this deal
because they want to sell to Iran. They could care less about nuclear
facilities or the threats to Israel. They want markets period.
We have a man in The White House who was sold to us as an expert on the
constitution, i.e. the constitutional law professor.
With all due respect to
President Obama, I think that he's forgotten the document that he used to teach,
whether it's immigration executive orders or going to the UN before
Congress.
