Michael Ledeen<\/a> posted an article at Forbes Magazine<\/a> yesterday explaining the details of the Iran<\/a> nuclear deal.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ledeen states:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s what I predicted it would be<\/a>:\u00a0 a \u201cno-deal deal\u201d\u00a0\u00a0in which the Iranians promise to behave themselves and we pay for it.\u00a0Tehran<\/a> gets a big cash \u201csigning bonus\u201d of over a hundred billion dollars, and, over time, an end to various sanctions enacted by the United States<\/a>, the European Union and the United Nations<\/a>. Iran swears to do nothing to make atomic bombs, and we permit them to enrich uranium.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

This is precisely backwards.\u00a0As Khamenei<\/a> has said, the Vienna<\/a> deal in no way mitigates Iran\u2019s hatred of us, or their intention to destroy us.\u00a0We need to respond by challenging the regime in Tehran.\u00a0The best way to do that is to do the same thing we did to Mikhail Gorbachev<\/a>\u2019s Soviet Union<\/a>: Support the regime\u2019s opponents to create a free Iran.\u00a0This is no mere gesture; the overwhelming majority of Iranians detest the regime.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Needless to say, no such sensible policy is going to be adopted by this administration.\u00a0Obama has avidly pursued a strategic embrace of Iran for a long time, beginning with the presidential campaign of 2008.\u00a0Now he\u2019s collaborating with them on Middle Eastern battlefields, making them much richer\u2014indeed very possibly rescuing them from social\/political\/economic catastrophe largely of their own making\u2014and more powerful.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Never mind the grand bargain.\u00a0We need a sensible Iran policy before they kill many more of us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s time to pray that the Senate has the backbone to refuse to approve this and to override the President’s veto of their disapproval.<\/p>\n
