so what i think the administration needs to push for in this negotiation is a peaceful program without enrichment. and i wouldn t begin the process by conceding anything on enrichment. it seems like it s already a little bit now the exact nature of it, the idea that well maybe we ll ship in enriched uranium capable of nuclear energy only. but nonetheless, a lot of people complained it does seem like the administration is giving up something they shouldn t be giving up. yeah. if i can make a point this violates a u.n. security treaty and empowers other countries to say we re going to strike an accord with you to allow you to continue your uranium enrichment. all that does is encourage other countries within the middle east to say we abided by this. but if you allow iran to do this, then why can t we do this? that s my concern. right. we didn t stop pakistan. we didn t stop north korea.
the northeast to say we re going to strike an accord to allow you to continue your uranium enrichment and it encourages other countries to say we ve abided by this and if you allow iran to do this, why can t we do this? we didn t stop pakistan. we didn t stop north korea. the idea that iran can be stopped if they want to make a nuclear weapon seems to not have a great historic precedent. they have the know-how. they re always going to have the know-how. what would it take if they make the decision that they re going to pursue the bomb? it would take a sustained military campaign. not just a bombing campaign because a bombing campaign would set them back for a period of time, but if they were determined, it would have to be repeated bombing campaign and it may involve boots on the ground. because that is often an awful prospect, we need to try everything, in my view, to see if that he is a peaceful way to put an end to this program. that s why i think the interim deal makes sense. i
it s the poor workman who blames her tools. are they going to blame their tools? i think they re going to have to participate in a totally transparent investigatory process for both civil and potential criminal reasons, where they had better be open kimona. because there is no advantage to trying to keep something secret or hidden. we have to get to the bottom of this. the president but wait a minute. you re saying open kimona. that sounds faintly indiscreet. are they willing to say we had management screw-ups? there should have been drilling mud in there instead of sea water. we should have looked at the faults in the cement job. we should have seen the red flags flying. we should have stopped. we didn t. we didn t stop, look and listen while we were building this thing. you don t think they ll actually admit them, do you? doesn t that expose them? if they don t do that, they will lose all credibility. and they re going to have to deal with the consequences of it in an honest
error, or management shortcuts? are they going to blame it on their equipment? you know that old expression, it s the poor workman who blames the tools. are they going to blame their tools? i think they re going to have to participate in a totally transparent investigatory process for both civil and potential criminal reasons, where they had better be open kimona. because there is no advantage to trying to keep something secret or hidden. we have to get to the bottom of this. the president but wait a minute. you re saying open kimona. that sounds faintly indiscreet. are they willing to say we had management screw ups? there should have been drilling mud in there instead of sea water. we should have looked at the faults in the cement jobs. we should have seen the red flags flying. we should have stopped. we didn t. we didn t stop, look and listen while we were building this thing. don t you think they ll admit that? doesn t that expose them? if they don t do that, they will lose
