Iran Deal: The U.S. is about "to guarantee that the means of its own destruction will be in the hands of another nation," warns Dick Cheney. As it trusts Iran, this administration can't be trusted.
Former Vice President Cheney earned a special social media onslaught from the White House as he spoke to the American Enterprise Institute blasting the Iran deal on Tuesday.
Cheney suggested it might the first national suicide attempt in world history, but at least as compelling was his assertion that while the U.S. trusts terrorist Tehran, Americans cannot trust their current president.
"We are asked to rely on the word of a country that has cheated on every nuclear agreement to which they have been a party, that once they have the means in place to become a nuclear power, they won't do it," Cheney noted.
The trust issue is turned on its head, the former veep, Pentagon chief, Wyoming congressman and White House chief of staff said.
"A negotiation based on the premise that the United States had to gain the trust of the world's worst state sponsor of terror was never going to end well," he said.
Iran and the rest of the 190 signatories of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty have no right to enrich uranium. Therefore, the concession to Iran by the U.S. "guts the fundamental principle at the heart of the NPT and makes it much more difficult for the international community to deny such a right to any other state."
In other words, it invites a nuclear arms race.Read the rest of this IBD editorial HERE and watch Cheney's full speech/Q&A at the American Enterprise Institute below:
