<p>Republican critics have just acquired a whole new round of ammunition to use against Obama&rsquo;s controversial deal with Iran. After a report on Wednesday revealed ;that Iran will be allowed to conduct inspections of its own nuclear sites, former CIA Intel Officer Joshua Katz told <em>Fox News</em> that funding for those inspections will come from U.S. taxpayer dollars. ;</p>
<p>Katz broke the disheartening news Tuesday on <em>Fox News</em>: &ldquo;The American taxpayer has been set up to fail by this administration,&rdquo; said Katz. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think anyone had a belief that this deal with Iran was set up for success. But now we&rsquo;re seeing that the United States is going to pay the lion&rsquo;s share for monitoring and the deal doesn&#8217;t even include Iran actually opening its doors.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>The question of how the IAEA will effectively monitor Iran&rsquo;s nuclear activity has so far been the biggest issue of the controversial deal &ndash; not to mention the fact that inspections could be delayed by a month or more. ;</p>
<p>The IAEA says it needs more than $10 million a year to monitor Iran. ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s our money,&rdquo; said Fox News host Stuart Varney. &ldquo;We contribute the lion&rsquo;s share to this watchdog, so we got to pay.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>Varney asked Katz if taxpayer money would be going &ldquo;directly to the Iranians,&rdquo; to which Katz responded, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s actually going to a state sponsor of terror!&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>Thanks to a secret side deal between Iran and the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), Iran will be allowed to conduct its own inspections. ;Trusting Iran to monitor itself is &ldquo;remarkably naï;ve,&rdquo; in the words of Senator John Cornyn (R-TX).</p>
<p>Ed Royce of the House Foreign Affairs Committee put it plainly: &ldquo;International inspections should be done by international inspectors. Period.&rdquo;</p>
<p>GOP candidate Jeb Bush spoke out against this newest atrocity regarding the controversial deal, calling the deal a &ldquo;farce&rdquo; and declaring, &ldquo;nuclear inspections of state sponsors of terrorism can&rsquo;t work on the honor system.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>Lawmakers will vote next month to approve or disapprove the deal. So far, only two democratic senators have agreed to vote no. In order to override Obama&rsquo;s almost certain veto, Republicans will need at least a total of thirteen. ;</p>
