What They Said Then, What We Know Now about the Iran Nuclear Deal
Foreign Policy Initiative ^ | June 30, 2016 | Tzvi Kahn

Nearly one year ago, the United States and its international partners reached a landmark agreement with Iran that would curtail Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for robust sanctions relief. In multiple speeches, interviews, and congressional hearings that followed, U.S. officials defended the accord, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), by hailing its intrusive inspections regime, pledging to continue sanctioning Iran for non-nuclear misbehavior, and asserting that the deal may spur the regime to moderate its policies. This FPI Analysis evaluates these claims by compiling the administration’s own statements in defense of the agreement, and comparing them with subsequent developments.

It has been fairly obvious all along that this agreement does the precise opposite of what it purports to do. No meaningful inspections (only Iranian inspectors and no inspections of military installations...).

But we agree to shield them from any attack by a third party (such as Israel).

Which means that, in plain language, we have agreed, not to restrict their nuclear program, but to allow it, defend it, and pay for it.

They give up nothing in return for this agreement on our part, but have said that if we don’t keep the agreement, its war.

That’s what the agreement does. We allow them to continue, we agree to defend them, and we pay for it, or else. Anything our government has said to the contrary was a lie, of course.

The Musloids get access to $15,000,000,000 and suddenly worldwide jihad breaks out.

I wonder if there is a connection?

“Which means that, in plain language, we have agreed, not to restrict their nuclear program, but to allow it, defend it, and pay for it.”

Exactly. And there is good evidence that this was planned before Obama was ever elected.

It was consistent lies from the very beginning to subver the will of the American people and undermine the defense of the country. Treason. Pure and Simple. Treason.

But the old media applauds it, through a combination of ignorance, complicity, fear, and ideology. Same for members of the Republican leadership.

They should all be thrown out of office and worse.

Yes. They all voted to flip the constitution on its head so that they could approve it while pretending to vote against it. Approve it, I might add, without having read it.

The Associated Press reports that one of the confidential side deals between Tehran and the IAEA, in an unprecedented arrangement, would allow Iran to self-inspect the Parchin military complex

.Ness: "Mr Capone are you running an illegal beer and whiskey operation, murder, and houses of prostitution?"

Capone: "Mr. Ness I shall immediately self inspect to see if such nefarious activities are occurring in my organization.

Ness: "What did you find out Mr. Capone?"

Capone: "After and extensive and thorough examination of my organization I have found none of the above described activities. All of my work has been for orphans and the poor."

Ness: "Uh okay Mr. Capone and sorry to bother you and your fine works."
