[Hayden] Former CIA head: U.S. has ‘accepted Iranian uranium enrichment’
CNN ^ | 12/1/2013 | Jason Seher

Posted on 12/02/2013 4:01:48 AM PST by markomalley

Retired Gen. Michael Hayden said Sunday the United States has all but conceded Iran has the right to enrich uranium.

"We have accepted Iranian uranium enrichment," Hayden said when asked about the agreement reached last week between Iran and the so-called P5+1 - the United States, Britain, China, Russia, France and Germany.

Hayden, a former director of the CIA who served in both the George W. Bush and Obama administrations, expressed a less critical view of the deal than most Republican national security hawks, saying he's willing to let this agreement "run."

"It's not like we had a whole lot of good choices," Hayden told Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."

Slumlord Valerie Jarret has positioned herself nicely for securing contracts in Iran for her own personal gain. The sell out of America by marxists and muslims continues...

And yet again we see both parties are the same. That's why our borders are wide open and we are $1 trillion in debt to China.

No deal would’ve been better than this. Giving Iran the go-ahead was a good idea? If we lived next door, like other ME countries, we might feel differently. We are putting Israel at risk, but, hey, what’s that to this Muslim president?

Like any agreement, we should judge it by what we get out of it. So, do we get security? Nope. Money, commercial arrangements? Nope. The right of inspection? Nope. Any credible slowing of the Iranian progress toward the possession of nuclear weapons? Nope.

We get a political talking point for the 0bama administration, and then only if they lie about it. Score this one for the Iranians. Big.
