Democrat Kane to resign for the third time in the past five months.

Rep. Joe Pitts: Why I Oppose Iran Deal
By Congressman Joe Pitts
The
first and most important duty of a government is the protection of its
citizens. If we fail to do this, then all of our other activities and
programs are of no effect.
As
Congress and the President decide how to act in response to Iran’s
nuclear weapons program, this is our purpose, and the standard we must
constantly bear in mind.
Negotiating
with Iran at all is difficult, if only because of the regime’s 36 year
history of terrorism, brutality, and violations of human rights. As
Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel put
it, “regimes rooted in brutality must never be trusted. And the words
and actions of the leadership of Iran leave no doubt as to their
intentions.”
Nevertheless, I support finding a diplomatic solution to the crisis of a nuclear Iran.
In
March, I joined with 366 of my fellow Members of Congress, including
130 Democrats, in a letter to President Obama. All of us agreed, though
from different parts of the country, different backgrounds,
and different parties, that any deal with Iran must last for multiple
decades and include full disclosure of Iran’s past nuclear pursuits.
In
July, after nearly a decade of negotiation, the President made his
proposal public. The proposed executive agreement would only be
temporary. Iran’s current low-enriched
uranium would be reduced by 98%, but only for 10 years. Iran would be
free to produce as much nuclear fuel as they wish after 15 years, and do
research on advanced centrifuges after 8 years. And in a major
deviation of nonproliferation precedent, the embargo
on conventional arms trade and ballistic missiles trade with Iran would
be lifted.
The
President’s proposal did not meet the bipartisan criteria we laid out
in our letter. These provisions are bad enough by themselves to make
this agreement deserve
opposition, but since we found out about them, there have been some
important developments that make the agreement even worse for the United
States and its interests.
We found out, for example, that
that United Nations’
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors will not have
access to the Parchin military complex, a site where the IAEA suspects
that weaponization activities have taken place. Instead,
the IAEA and the world community will have to rely on Iran’s own
inspections of that site.
It is no surprise then that the majority of both chambers of Congress oppose the President's Iran proposal. But as of this
week, 42 Senators, all Democrats, now support the proposal, which makes
an override of the President’s veto of our resolution of disapproval
impossible. Thus, unless nine Senators change
their votes, the proposal will go into effect.
It
is noteworthy that even that minority of the Senate that has publicly
supported the proposal has been tepid and unenthusiastic about it. Even
Charles Schumer,
among the most liberal of Senators, could not bring himself to support
it.
If
it does go into effect after all, what can we expect? We know that Iran
will receive an influx of funding worth roughly half the size of their
entire economy. We can expect that Iran will
spend this money the same way they spend the money they have now:
funding terrorism, intruding upon the sovereignty of Middle Eastern
countries, and building up their military. In fact, with the arms
embargo ended, Iran will likely have a lot of shopping to
do. Even Vice President Biden conceded that this is “a totally
legitimate argument” against the President’s proposal.
We
can expect that Iran will continue to attempt to dominate its
neighbors, funding the Houthi rebels in Yemen, Hezbollah terrorists in
Lebanon, and Shia militia in Iraq that have killed American
troops.
There is not a single shred of evidence in support of faith that Iran will change for the better as a result of this windfall.
We
should conduct diplomacy, but not for diplomacy’s sake. What the United
States ultimately decides to do about the Islamic Republic of Iran will
be the single most important foreign policy
decision in the generation since the fall of communism in 1989. I wish
that I could support the proposed agreement, but under present
circumstances I cannot.
US Rep. Joe Pitts is a Republican who represents Pennsylvania's 16th Congressional District.
