To the editor:
After President Barack Obama's poor trade of Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for five of the top terrorist leaders at Guantanamo, he is now trying to make a new agreement with Iran. This new agreement includes the U.N. and some other countries. The other countries are willing to drop most of the sanctions with Iran to get their trade. The only new test imposed on Iran is that the U.N. can ask for permission to inspect places in Iran where nuclear activity is suspected. Iran has 24 days to clean up the area before the inspection. If nuclear activity is found sanctions will be imposed, probably weaker than present sanctions.
The U.S. Congress has yet to approve the new agreement. If this agreement is approved, Iran will receive $1.5 billion, permission to build or buy conventional weapons and ballistic missiles, unlimited selling of oil and full access to the international financial systems.
A secret agreement between the U.N. and Iran has been revealed. This agreement says that Iran can kick the inspectors off their nuclear sites. This means that no sanctions will be installed again, no matter what Iran does. This is like letting the fox guard the chicken house.
With the agreement, the chief exporter for terrorists in the world will become stronger than it has ever been. Their leader says 'Death to Israel” and 'Death to America.”
