Administration says it will be easier to target Iran's nukes with their deal
Streiff:
The argument is inconsistent with the administrations other arguments which have stated they already know enough about Iran's nuclear capacity they they do not need the information. It is a rationalization and not a reason to do the deal. Do those in the administration really think that the Russian air defense system will not make it harder to attack Iran?
I'm torn between thinking that the administration knows what it is doing in regards to its public statements on the disastrous agreement to give Iran a nuclear weapon; that is, they have access to extensive polling data that shows their statements will move public opinion in their favor; and that they are the most pathetic collection of ignoramuses ever visited upon the American people and their statements are nothing more than them flailing about for anything that will make the pain go away. (Note to self: revisit definition of Hanlon's Razor.)
Just last week, the administration took a page from their favorite historical reference, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and blamed an AP report detailing how the Iranians were going to be allowed toinspect their own facilities on a Jewish conspiracy to sabotage the deal. One hardly knows who this argument was appealing to other than Ron Paul supporters, Nation of Islam members, and New Black Panther Party thugs.
Now they've rolled out another reason why people should support the agreement: it makes it easier to bomb Iran.
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....
“It’s certainly an argument I’ve heard made,” said Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) 16%, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. “We’ll be better off with the agreement were we to need to use force.”
Schiff has already announced his support for the Iran deal. But the argument could be useful as the administration tries to persuade centrist Democrats with a hawkish view of Iran to support the agreement, which provides relief from sanctions for Iran in return for curbs and inspections of its nuclear program. Congress is expected to vote on the deal next month.
I hope this guy, Austin Long, is getting paid good money by the administration because it would be a shame to see someone beclown themselves so completely for no other reason than blind obeisance to Obama.
As has been documented over and over and over, the Iranians have never had to disclose the scope or extent of their nuclear program. So the negotiations has not yielded any new information. Arguably, we might be able map supply chains, etc., better because now we are shipping nuclear equipment to Iran legally and we've given them over $100 billion to spend on stuff. Some of that stuff, though, is not nuclear and makes any military strike more problematic:
Iran will sign a contract with Russia next week to buy four S-300 surface-to-air missile systems, the Iranian defense minister said on Tuesday, bringing Tehran closer to acquiring an advanced air defense capability.
