Rand Paul and Barbara Boxer Working on "Moderate" Iran Sanctions Bill

“We’re all here with the same goal: to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon,” Boxer said, this morning, according to Politico. “I have a concern that reaches across party lines that some colleagues are pushing to enact new sanctions while our negotiators are still at the table.”

Boxer said she and Paul are working on legislation that seeks to allow quick votes by Congress to reinstate some sanctions if the Obama administration finds that Iran has violated any nuclear agreement. Some of those sanctions have been loosened by an interim deal.

“Sen. Paul and I are putting the final touches on this bill. We think it’s a moderate proposal,” Boxer said during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing. “We’re very excited.”

Does it really need to be noted that this has nothing to do withe libertarianism and that Boxer has been one of the top supporters of the 51st state?

For the truth about sanctions, any sanctions, see Ron Paul:  Economic sanctions are an act of war.
