Kerry's Startling Testimony

That's a great analogy. Below are just three examples from Kerry's testimony that should cause any serious member of Congress to vote "No." The first is an exchange between Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) and Kerry.
Secretary Kerry: Yes.
Mr. Brooks: And, that they will use the conventional weapons made available by the Iran nuclear treaty to kill Americans or Israelis?
Secretary Kerry: Well, they may. They may. . . .
Iran's leaders repeatedly threaten to wipe Israel off the map. They routinely chant "Death to America, Death to Israel." The regime is financing the terrorists in Hamas and Hezbollah.
Rep. Reid Ribble (R-WI) asked Secretary Kerry why, given the enormous stakes involved, the administration refused to consider this deal as a treaty. Kerry answered:
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) asked Secretary Kerry how the administration would respond if Congress rejected the deal and overrode Obama's veto of a resolution of disapproval.
Secretary Kerry: "I can't begin to answer that at this point without consulting with the president and determining what the circumstances are.
Rep. Sherman: "So, you're not committed to following the law if you think it's a bad law?"
Secretary Kerry: "No, I said I'm not going to deal with a hypothetical, that's all."
If the administration is determined to do whatever the heck it wants, why on earth would any member of Congress take the risk of trusting Iran by voting for this deal?
