2016 IN Senate race: on War & Peace


Eric Holcomb: Iran funds terrorism; no nuclear deal

It is a foregone conclusion that President Obama's so-called nuclear deal with Iran will take effect. We know Iran funds terrorism in Yemen, Iraq, and Syria. This deal now allows them the time and money needed to prepare to expand their regional control, and makes peace in the Middle East less likely, and war all the more likely.

This so-called deal with Iran is a perfect example of what happens when America draws down and negotiates from a position of desperation. This deal isn't just a bad deal, it's dangerous. It gives the appearance of progress but, buried deep within the 157 pages of text, there are a multitude of reasons to be alarmed.

  1. The deal lacks anytime, anywhere inspections
  2. This deal will send over a $100 billion to an Iranian regime that will use them to stockpile the newest conventional weapons available
  3. After just 10 to 15 years, all restrictions on their full enrichment production will be lifted.
