Stop the ‘$8 Trillion’ Obamabomb Debacle

Yesterday, President Obama held a press conference in which he defended his Obamabomb deal with Iran. He challenged its many critics to judge it strictly on the basis of U.S. national interests and come up with a better alternative.

Here’s one: Keep Iran from getting some $150 billion in sanctions relief and repatriated frozen assets. What will that windfall mean to Iran and the agenda even Mr. Obama acknowledges he expects it will pursue – continuing domestic repression, support for terrorism, regional subversion and weapons build-ups?

Rep. Peter Roskam of the House Ways and Means Committee calculates that the equivalent in our far-larger economy would be an infusion of roughly $8 trillion.

The national interests of the United States will be imperiled, not enhanced, by enriching and enabling the mullahs.
