Ex-CIA Director: Iran's Nuclear Side Deal Like an SNL Skit (Video)

Former CIA Director James Woolsey says a report that Iran will be allowed to use its own inspectors to investigate a site where it may develop nuclear arms is so mind-boggling, it's almost like watching "Saturday Night Live."

"I thought it was a 'Saturday Night Live' skit. I mean not seriously but I couldn't believe it that they would let the Iranians inspect themselves," Woolsey said Thursday on Newsmax TV to J.D. Hayworth, host of "Newsmax Prime."

"What do they have to do? Take a trip to the photo shop on the way to the data exchange so they can get materials just right? It's just kind of amazing that anybody would go for this."

According to a document seen by The Associated Press, Iran's ability to inspect the Parchin nuclear site is part of a secret agreement hammered out with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations agency that normally carries out such inspections.

Asked why the Obama administration would sign off on the Iranians policing themselves, Woolsey told Hayworth:

"Because it wants a deal so desperately it doesn't care what's in the deal and it's perfectly willing to and shown itself willing to knuckle under ...

"I've been in four major negotiations on arms. One as an adviser when I was lieutenant in the Army and two as a presidential delegate and one as ambassador and chief of delegation.

"I have never see the Soviets or their allies or anybody try to pull off something as crazy as this and I've certainly never seen the United States even think about going along with something as crazy as this … It's astounding and it's dangerous."

Kerry worked out a deal with the Olympic Committee too ... from now on athletes will test themselves for drug usage and mail in the results.
