CHUCK TODD: ...let's start right with Iran. Is this a good deal?
COLIN POWELL: I think it is a good deal. I studied very carefully the outline of the deal and what's in that deal. And I've also carefully looked at the opposition to the deal. And my judgment, after balancing those two sets of information is that it's a pretty good deal.
Now, I know that there are objections to it, but here's why I think it's a good deal. One of the great concerns that the opposition has, that we're leaving open a lane for the Iranians to go back to creating a nuclear weapon in ten or 15 years. They're forgetting the reality that they have been on a superhighway for the last ten years to create a nuclear weapon or a nuclear weapons program, with no speed limit.
And in the last ten years, they have gone from 136 centrifuges up to something like 19,000 centrifuges. This agreement will bring them down to 5,000 centrifuges. All of these will be under IAEA supervision. And I think this is a good outcome. The other thing I've noticed is that they had a stockpile of something in the neighborhood of 12,000 kilograms of uranium. This deal will bring it down to 300 kilograms.
And it's a remarkable reduction. And I'm amazed that they would do this. But they have done it. And with respect to the plutonium effort, the plutonium reactor at Iraq, which is now starting to operate, it's going to be shut down, except for minor parts of it, and concrete will be poured into the reactor core vessel.
And so these are remarkable changes. And so we have stopped this highway race that they were going down. And I think that's very important. Now, will they comply with it? Will they actually do all of this? Well, they get nothing until they show compliance. And that's the important part of their arrangement.
now i KNOW it’s a bad deal
Colon Rectum has spoken.
This is the guy Jeb’s brother picked to be Secretary of State.
That this man was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs under Bush 41 and Secretary of State under Bush 43 tells you all you need to know about the Bushes. He would probably be JEB’s VP. Colin Powell, America’s Affirmative Action General.
I have a really good deal going with General M’Buggaboo of Nigeria. He says if I front $15,000 to him he’ll deposit $10,000,000 in my bank account. I figure I’m $9,999,985 ahead. How can I lose?
Powell thinks Obama is a pretty good President too.
Yay!!
The islamists REALLY NEED that one hundred and fifty BILLION dollars.
You know, for Cokes, cookies and hash and stuff.
Colon Bowel
***************
I seriously doubt he has seen EVERYTHING about this deal. We know there are side deals which have not been made public. The devil is in the details and he does not have all the details.
Colon Blow.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahah!
< gasp >
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
Seriously ... does he actually believe that rot???
That is a special level of gullibility, no?
= :^)
What a LibTurd Weasel General Powell has allowed himself to become!It’s a Real Shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Side Agreement??? Where Iran provides its own soil samples and pictures....is he flocking kidding me?
It’s a joke of a deal, where the best parts are not visible.
They have more fossil fuel than America, why do they need nukes anyway???????
Lies that will burn cities to the ground.
Powell is proving again how stupid he thinks regular folks are with this statement.
