IRAN--WOLF IN WOLF'S CLOTHING
(Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, while the Ayatollah has preached
``Death to America,'' the United States and the West have made a deal
with the deceitful wolf of the desert.
Iran promises to temporarily cut back and not continue its nuclear
weapon development capability. Then Iran will receive sanction relief.
It will be able to export oil and receive billions of dollars in cash.
In 5 years, the embargo on most conventional weapons against Iran
will be lifted. In 8 years, Iran will be able to import ICBMs. In 10
years, the deal expires and Iran can develop nuclear weapons, thus
legitimizing the number one state sponsor of terrorism and allowing it
to be a nuclear weapons power.
This is dangerous. This will start a nuclear arms race. Israel will
be less safe. So will America.
In theory, this deal is supposed to give us ``peace in our time,'' to
coin a phrase. But Iran is a wolf in wolf's clothing, and the wolf has
made a deal with the sheep not to eat them for 10 years. Then what?
Supper?
And that is just the way it is.
