Bachmann: ‘Drop bombs on Iran’s nukes’

“There is only one tried and true method that stops a rogue nation from getting a nuclear bomb, and it’s this: It is for a country like the United States to take our military superiority and to go into that country and to drop bombs on their nuclear hardware and destroy it.”
“That’s called peace. That’s not called war,” she said in a rebuke to President Obama’s claim that it is either his nuclear deal with Iran or war.
Bachmann reflected, as a former member of the House Intelligence committee, she had come to the conclusion that sanctions were only mildly effective, and there was no way they would ever prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
She insisted bombing Iranian nuclear facilities would prevent war, not cause one.
As WND reported, she told a large rally against the Iran deal at the Capitol on Wednesday, “That does not bring about World War III … that ensures peace on into the future.”
“We’re not going to bomb shopping centers. We’re not going to bomb innocent people,” she added.
Before the rally, she told WND, “I tell you, if I was president of the United States, it would take me half a nanosecond. We would send out our military equipment and do what has to be done. And in eight weeks, the whole discussion would be over. The Iranian program would be done, and the world would be free from that menace.
“If we were serious about stopping their military program, we’d stop the discussions,” she reflected.

Bachmann spoke to WND in detail about her fervent opposition to Obama’s Iran agreement before she addressed the star-studded rally to stop the deal that featured GOP presidential contenders Donald Tump and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, as well as former Alaska Goc. Sarah Palin, talk-radio stars Mark Levin and Glenn Beck, and more than 40 other speakers.
As ineffective as she considered the sanctions to be, Bachmann insisted they were worth keeping in place, if only to keep Iran from getting the $100 billion it will receive in unfrozen assets.
That’s why she so strongly supported efforts in Congress to pass a bill to disapprove Obama’s deal.
Like a growing number of conservatives, Bachmann is insisting Obama did not not live up to the terms of the “Corker bill” he signed because the administration did not give Congress the full text of the deal and withheld copies of the secret side deals made with Iran.
“The president was so ashamed of what was in these side deals, he didn’t want Congress to know about them. That’s why they’re secret,” she said.
The former congresswoman said that meant, “Essentially, the House and the Senate have to do nothing, nothing except stand up and say, ‘Mr. President, you failed to fulfill your part of the bargain. You didn’t give us the agreement by July 19; therefore, the sanctions stand. We don’t recognize your deal.’ That’s it. That’s all they have to do.”
According to information leaked to the Associated Press, a secret side deal between the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, and Iran lets the country’s leaders decide which sites to inspect. It also lets Iran do its own inspections at a key site. No Americans will be among the inspectors.
There is apparently at least one more side deal, but its contents have not been made public.
Bachmann implored members of Congress to must realize stopping the Iran deal was “head and shoulders above any other issue.”
She mentioned how Iran’s supreme leader, that very day, had tweeted that Israel would not exist within 25 years.
“For our representatives, to knowingly to put a nuclear weapon into a madman’s hands is madness in itself.”
Bachmann expressed sorrow that she believed no matter what Congress does, the president will implement the deal.
“Obama has made a decision. He is, by himself, going to lift the sanctions. Well, let it be on his own head. Let him lift those sanctions, and then the next president that comes in, in 2017, can say, ‘I’m the new sheriff in town, and I’m putting sanctions back in.”
