Roskam almost trumps Kirk for US-Iran deal hyperbole

After my Senator Mark Kirk called the US-5 Power Iran agreement outline as worse than Neville Chamberlin's Munich Agreement with Nazi Germany, it was clear Kirk missed the deal details.
My congressman Peter Roskam (IL-6) mustn't have been listening either when President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry spent an hour educating the world on the historic nuclear deal with Iran. The five world powers, the US, UK, Russia, China, and France hammered out the outlines of a substantive, long term, and verifiable agreement which is the best, indeed the only alternative to what Roskam really promotes: war with Iran. His near immediate statement outrageously begins by alluding to it being announced the day after April Fool's Day, a rhetorical trick which should not go unchallenged. He rehashes the 'bomb Iran' contingent of Congress nonsense by saying it "promises Iran everything it wants" while the US and its partners get "minimal restrictions on peripheral aspects of Iran's nuclear program...more empty promises from a dictatorial regime... that calls for the destruction of the United States." He cleverly, but repulsively argues that while Obama spins a horrible deal, the nuclear centrifuges in Iran "will continue to spin." Roskam laments that the deal will "likely expire in ten years, at which point the mullahs can freely pursue a nuclear weapon." Again, by skipping the Obama-Kerry tutorial on real statesmanship, Roskam missed that many of the agreement controls will last 15 years and some will last INDEFINATELY!

Roskam's closes his mendacious statement by trumpeting that no deal is better than the Obama-Kerry deal, and bragging how, last week, he "urged House appropriators to prohibit funding for additional P5+1 negotiations with Iran in Fiscal Year 2016." That's right folks, if cynical, warmongering Congressman Peter Roskam has his way, we wouldn't even be talking to Iran, we'd be bombing them. Every sane, peace loving Sixth District Resident should touch 202-225-4561 and let the congressman know that such reckless, dangerous, false and idiotic rhetoric from a sitting congressman is not welcome in the Sixth District; indeed, the state, the nation, and the world. We've come too far to allow shills for the war party and the Israel Lobby destroy our best chance for peace.
