Congressional Letter on Iran: Where's the outrage?


Another day, another treasonous act from congress. This time it’s a letter to the president from the House of Representatives, warning him that congress has the final say-so on any Iran agreement his JV Team negotiates.

WARNING, Obama Fanboys and Fangirls!

This letter contains even more treasonously stern language than Senator Tom Cotton’s:
"Should an agreement with Iran be reached, permanent sanctions relief from congressionally-mandated sanctions would require new legislation. In reviewing such an agreement, Congress must be convinced that its terms foreclose any pathway to a bomb, and only then will Congress be able to consider permanent sanctions relief.”
The dangerous insurrectionists under the dome also scalded the president with sharp accusations:
“Even during the period of negotiations, Iran has illicitly procured nuclear technology, which your Administration quickly sanctioned.”
Stern Stuff! 

The cool kids at Moonbats Snorting Nothing But Communism must be going hysterical over the almost certainty that this will blow up President Obama’s careful negotiations, give aid and comfort to Iran’s hard liners, spark World War III, cause fluffy kitties to perish in a circus tent fire, prevent the return of the unicorn, cause more global warming, etc…

But wait! There’s more!!!

From that same perfidious, criminal, stinky cheese, anti-American letter to the President...
“Iran’s record of clandestine activity and intransigence prevents any trust in Iran. Indeed, a top State Department negotiator has told Congress that, “deception is part of [Iran’s] DNA.”
And then they double-down, then triple-down on the insults to Obama’s Iranian friends!
“Given Iran’s decades of deception, negotiators must obtain maximum commitments to transparency by Iran.
[…] it is critical that we also consider Iran’s destabilizing role in the region. Iran is boosting Assad in Syria, supporting sectarian elements in Iraq that undercut hopes for a unified and stable country, and providing assistance to Hezbollah, which continues to threaten Israel. And last month, an Iranian-backed militia displaced the government in Yemen, a key counterterrorism partner. Iran’s Supreme Leader has also called for an expansion of his country’s ballistic missile program, yet another dimension of the potential threat posed by Iran.
[...]
Iran’s role in fomenting instability in the region—not to mention Iran’s horrendous repression at home—demonstrates the risks of negotiating with a partner we cannot trust.
So why aren’t nutball Obama voters and his gargoyles in the press who wanted Cotton prosecuted under the Logan act screaming themselves hysterical at congress and demanding the signers of this letter be arrested?
Washington (CNN) A veto-proof, bipartisan majority of House lawmakers have signed an open letter to President Barack Obama warning him that any nuclear deal with Iran will effectively require congressional approval for implementation.
[…]

The letter, which was signed by 367 members of the House and released Monday by the House Foreign Affairs Committee… (CNN)
Democrats signing the letter include liberal luminaries Chaka Fatah, Diana Degette, Jerrold Nadler and Sheila Jackson Lee.  I wonder if Crazy Uncle Joe Bite-me will call them reckless and irresponsible?
