IRAN DEAL: NOT VERIFIABLE, ENFORCEABLE, OR ACCOUNTABLE
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, there is a clear fact that
these are dangerous times and that the regime in Iran is a dangerous
threat to world peace. The President's legacy of failed policies of
weakness has led to the Middle East in chaos, with refugee families
fleeing for their lives and many drowning at sea.
It is not too late to stop a bad situation from getting even worse. A
nuclear-armed Iran is a threat to every country everywhere. We need a
deal that is verifiable, enforceable, and accountable.
Is it verifiable? No. Because of secret deals, it will be the
Iranians who get to certify whether or not they are complying.
Is it enforceable? No, because the sanctions that have been effective
in forcing them to the bargaining table will be lifted. Iran will then
have the money it needs to complete its nuclear programs, missile
development, and expand their funding of terror. With future terrorist
attacks, media should trace the funding to determine if the source is
from this deal.
Is it accountable? No, because the deal permits Iran to keep
thousands of nuclear centrifuges to enrich uranium.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President by his
actions never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
