diplomacy, i know you have a number of issues that you would like to see in any future agreement. at the end of the day this is what the iranians agreed to and if nothing else it will slow down iran s march toward a nuclear weapon? actually president obama disagrees with joel because president obama said it will not permanently cut off pathways to a nuclear weapon. it will contain iraq for 15 years. the problem is the deal would have been better without massive give aways. we have con jerry who supported the iraq war and hillary clinton who supported the iraq war and are supporting the iran deal and john kerry guaranteeing the u.s. intelligence committee has absolute knowledge. with respect to this deal, over 300 times in u.s. history congress has rejected international agreements and called for amendments to those agreements. ift happened during the cold war, during arms negotiations and it happened many times. i m calling for follow on
hungarian government won t allow them to leave without proper paperwork. hungary s prime minister will meet with europe and union officials about the crisis today. xi jinping said he will reduce the military by 300,000 troops. he made the pledge a few hours ago as china held a massive parade in beijing mark ing the anniversary of the end of world war ii. u.s. secretary of state is defending the iran nuclear deal as the president gains enough votes to protect it. this comes after a another democratic senator agreed to support the deal. mr. obama now has the votes he needs to overcome a veto from republicans in congress who plan to vote against the agreement. an arrest warrant has been issued for guatemala s president. he is accused of taking bribes. the president denies the charges suggesting his political enemies
meantime secretary of state john kerry is lobbying for public support. on wednesday, he fired back at critics. he said the agreement relies on trusting iran. critics tell us over and over again, you can t trust iran. guess what? there s not a single sentence not a single paragraph in this whole agreement, that depends on promises or trust, not one. the arrangement we worked out with teheran is based exclusively on verification and proof. this nuclear agreement may be a done deal, but the arguments are far from over. joining us from washington is mark with the defense of drak sis and a leading critic of the agreement and joel rubin with the washington strategy group. mark, first question to you, at the least would you concede this deal, as it stands now, is
hundreds of news outlets across the country and around the world. and it caused a major freakout among those on the right. lindsey graham released a statement saying, allowing iranians to inspect their own nuclear sites, particularly a notorious military site, is like allowing the inmates to run the jail. john cornyn saying, trusting iran to inspect its own nuclear site and report to the u.n. in an open and transparent way is incredibly naive and reckless. other candidates responded as well. did you hear about the deal about allowing iran to inspect its own nuclear facilities? what do you think about that? i think it s crazy. i think the whole iran deal is the dumbest deal you can imagine. i think it s going to go down as one of the worst deals in in the history of this country, maybe of the world. i m not surprised to hear there are side deals. the white house doesn t know what they re doing.
story and alternate information, though many of the initial article s claims were later reinstated. then two u.s. officials told nbc news that, in fact, nuclear inspectors would be on the ground at the site to supervise the iranians. and those nuclear inspectors said the claims that iran would be conducting its own inspections were disturbing and misrepresent their work. that s just the beginning of the problems of the supposed blockbuster story that many now see as a deliberate attempt to kill the deal via misleading information leaked to one of the most respected news outlets in the country. a short time ago, i spoke to one of the few people who knows what s really going on. dr. jeffrey lewis. he s a scholar at the middlebury institute of international studies in monterrey and founding publisher of the arms control wonk website. he told me what has happened at the parchen facility. so, a long time ago, between 1996 and 2002, the iranians did some work that was probably related to d
