Iran Nuclear Deal: A Path Paved With Deceit

Iran: Vice President Joe Biden says that we have to go through with the Obama nuclear deal because Tehran can and will manufacture eight nukes if we don't. How many will it make if we do?
The Iranians "already have paved a path to a bomb's worth of material," Biden told the Washington Institute for Near East Policy on Thursday. In two or three months, Tehran could build as many as eight atomic warheads, Biden warned, applying a kind of shock therapy as he urged acceptance of the so-called deal.
It was a curious gun-at-our-heads argument, and far from what the Obama administration had been saying.
Back in November 2013, President Obama announced that Iran had agreed to nuclear talks, calling it "a new path toward a world that is more secure — a future in which we can verify that Iran's nuclear program is peaceful and that it cannot build a nuclear weapon."
Now comes Joe a year and a half later to tell us we're doing this deal because Iran can build a nuclear weapon. Eight of them, in fact.
Biden has exposed the fact that Obama, as on so many other things, wasn't being honest with us. These negotiations were never really about keeping nuclear weapons capability from the leading terrorist enabler in the world; they were about getting a deal, even if it meant settling for attempted containment of an inevitable Islamist nuclear power.
