The ultimate argument in favor of the Iran deal
The agreement would make it easier to bomb Iran, administration officials have told lawmakers.Want to bomb Iran? Then support the nuclear deal.
That’s the provocative argument coming from Obama administration officials and other backers of the deal as they promote it before a crucial vote in Congress next month.
In meetings on Capitol Hill and with influential policy analysts, administration officials argue that inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities under the deal will reveal important details that can be used for better targeting should the U.S. decide to attack Iran.
Oh, it will be totally easier when the US inspects the Iranian sites. Except for the military one, which is in the secret side deal and Iran will “self report”. If the US is actually even allowed to be involved with any inspections
On Monday, Iran’s deputy foreign minister said that Iran’s intelligence service would have to approve any IAEA inspectors seeking access the country. The nuclear deal already states that Iran “will generally allow the designation of inspectors from nations that have diplomatic relations with Iran,†apparently excluding Americans from the IAEA team.
So, mostly we’ll have access to 2nd hand information, since it seems Iran won’t allow American inspectors.
If supporters are trotting out this argument, they must know how bad the deal is and how bad they are losing the argument.
If you can’t sway them with your brilliance, just baffle them with bovine feces.
Whoever came up with this cockamamie argument must assume that the opponents of the Iran deal really just want to bomb Iran, period, and that nothing else matters to them.
I bet the Iranians would allow US inspectors if the US would allow the Iranians access to all our military facilities.
Of course Iran doesn’t want the US meddling with their country’s defenses. That’s why we have the IAEA.
How secret can it be since everyone knows about it?
