The Patriot Post® · 'Death to America': More Than a Chant

Mona Charen: “Throughout the protracted negotiations between the P5+1 and Iran, the Obama administration has assured Congress that ‘no deal’ was ‘better than a bad deal.’ They’ve offered pledges that Iran’s centrifuges would be limited to 500, that the PMDs (possible military dimensions) of its nuclear research would be fully disclosed, that the facility at Fordo (built into a mountain) would be shut down, and that snap inspections would be part of any agreement. … The Wall Street Journal reports that U.S. negotiators are scaling back their demands for disclosure of PMDs (something the International Atomic Energy Agency had also demanded). … The French government has protested that the U.S. is retreating (think that one over for a minute). France’s foreign minister is reported to have said that ‘the United States was really ready to sign just about anything with the Iranians.’ … Each and every news leak out of Lausanne depicts the U.S. walking back its demands. Just watch the faces of the Iranian negotiators. Their smiles tell the tale. … It is impossible to recall a more dangerous or foolish set of assumptions by an American president in modern American history. Death to America might become more than a chant.”
