Iran's representative in the US cries 'the sky is falling'

Jamal Abdi of the National Iranian American Council - the Iranian government's paid shill in the United States - sounds an alarm over a resolution that's been going around the House of Representatives for several months that gives Congressional approval to an Israeli strike on Iran (Hat Tip: Memeorandum). The resolution has been signed by about one third of the House Republicans. Abdi calls for House Minority leader John Bohner (R-Ind) to 'denounce' the resolution.

Abdi gives the usual litany of bad things that would happen as a result of an Israeli (and for that matter US) strike on Iran, but gives no alternative for stopping Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Indeed, he doesn't even say that a nuclear armed Iran would be a bad thing - presumably because he doesn't think it would be.

Bottom line - I'm in favor of the resolution because it shows the Iranians just how serious the United States (hopefully) is about stopping Iran. As bad as an attack on Iran might be, a nuclear armed Iran would be far worse.

The resolution may be viewed below.
