Gaffney on Iran Deal: ‘We’re Dealing With National Security Fraud on the Part of the Obama Administration’
(CNSNews.com) – As the June 30 deadline for a nuclear agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran approaches and the passage of a U.S. Senate bill that does not require the deal to be viewed as a treaty by Congress, the Center for Security Policy’s (CSP) President Frank Gaffney warned of the consequences of this scenario.
“We are dealing with national security fraud on the part of the Obama administration and its apologists or champions with regard to this agreement,” Gaffney said at a panel discussion hosted by the CSP on Friday in Washington, D.C. “It will not prevent Iran from getting the bomb, period.”
“It has not foreclosed all the avenues by which they can get the bomb, period,” Gaffney said.
“We will not be able to know with certitude how fast they’re moving to take advantage of the opportunities that remain – many – to get the bomb.”
“We will not see this terrible danger of a nuclear weapon, which the administration, specifically the president, has repeatedly promised to keep from coming to pass actually transform into a more peaceful region, let alone more secure world,” he said.
“To the contrary,” Gaffney said. “We will see it become more dangerous, more riddled with nuclear-capable nations.”
On Thursday, the Senate passed S.625, which if approved by the House will give Congress 30 days to examine the agreement before President Barack Obama could waive any sanctions in place against Iran. But even if Congress votes to disapprove the deal, Obama could veto it, which then requires a 2/3 vote in each chamber to override the veto.
