Its precursor to hezbollah took an active hand in the killing of the marines in the barracks in beirut . Or had a participation in support of. I think thats true, mr. Chairman, but i dont have the personal knowledge to give that answer to you with knowledge. I chose those questions and ill summarize, mr. Chairman because 308 years ago, they iran clearly was promoting activities on the streets of beirut, including kidnapping and so on. This is when they were a fiveyearold government. 20 years ago americans died for sure, no small part because of irans hand. Ten years ago, americans were dying. So, when we look at ten years before they get an outright go under this, and their ability to have the materials and the to suit their ambition, my only question to all of you, and general hayden, if theres only time for one it would be you, if they were doing this 30 years ago, including kidnapping on the streets of lebanon, 20 years ago they were killing americans in saudi arabia, 10 years ago a
Voting, we have to weigh those risks. Absolutely. And at least the agreement in front of me limits the risk. It is a completely unlimited risk. You may be right. They wont do that.

They create a whole negotiating process, as we said, 14 days, 21 days, appeal to a board. It is an invitation to the iranians to on advice kate and if they are caught with something wrong to get the time to get it out of the view of the international inspectors.

It seems to me with 24 days, would you be able to hind the grand canyon or something. I find that as a problem. Big picture is it still the policy of iran today to destroy the United States . Well, until we hear otherwise, i think we have to say it is. And israel as well. And israel. And now you notice that last fridays demonst
