Yesterday afternoon the U.S. Senate passed a bill providing for Congress authority to review the P5+1 nuclear deal with Iran prior to final approval.

The vote was 98-1 for the bipartisan bill that would give Congress a say on what could be a historic accord that the United States and five other nations are trying to finalize with Iran. Under the agreement, Iran would roll back its nuclear program in exchange for relief from crippling economy penalties.

Why was this vote even necessary? Well, The geniuses who thought putting together P5+1, the hand-over-the-keys-to-the-kingdom nuclear deal with Iran forgot that this is actually a type of treaty between countries and have obviously decided that a few salient facts about Iran vs U.S. relations were unimportant for the Duffer-In-Chief and Secretary of State “Hugs” John Kerry to consider.

First: Iran Does. Not. Like. The. U.S, and hasn’t since the early 1950’s.  The most obvious manifestation of the building enmity against America took place over the course of 444 days between November 4, 1979 and January 21, 1981. The Iran hostage crisis wasn’t just a minor temper tantrum by any measure. Secondly, former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is back on the scene; and he’s never been a fan of our Republic. Not only that, but members of the current regime are pretty emphatic that this so-called agreement that the Administration has been touting isn’t quite the bed of roses the U.S. says it is.
