Kerry Is Pontius Pilate--Senator Cotton

++John Kerry is undergoing the Inquisition by the Senate Republicans today. The big crime by the Obama Administration, besides existing,is that there are side agreements by then IAEA with Iran. Not only that but inspectors have to come from countries that has normalized relations with Iran.

++I was flagged on the side agreement flaps when the AP printed a story that Susan "# Benghazi!" Rice " admitted" there were side agreements between the IAEA and Iran. 

++Please, reader, remember the attacks by the Republicans on the IAEA work in Iraq where they concluded Saddam did not have a nuclear program because it had been destroyed during the First Gulf War.

++By all accounts the IAEA has done a superb job under its new leadership on the issue of Iran. The so-called "side agreements" were noted by the press coverage of the Vienna negotiations where they said an IAEA team was in Tehran negotiating an agreement on Iran notifying the IAEA about the military intent of the program pre-2003. 

++At least, John Kerry got in that we have 24/7 access to all "known" nuclear sites--a significant number. If we suspect a site of nuclear activity , then the 24 day rule goes into effect.

++The critics of the deal are trying the ole'Iraq game again. Yes, but those "unknown" sites where they really are building a bomb.

++American hero Ernest Moniz told the Senate that he has done simulations on ways Iran can covertly enrich uranium but none could escape detection with the 24 day rule.

++The New York Times printed an article about nuclear arms experts saying how you might be able to avoid detection, if Iran was working on detonators for a bomb. If the work was so small scale , then they could clean up.

++So no one has mentioned the very small stockpile of uranium that will be left , which will only be enriched at a 33% level, when you have to get to 96% to get to bomb quality uranium. 

++The hearings are being held in bad faith. None of the Republicans want to approve the deal or any negotiations with Iran. Senator Corker said that we started out attempting to dismantle the entire nuclear infrastructure and now we have legitimized it.

++Yesterday a rally was held to put pressure on Senator Schumer in New York. The speakers were Alan Dershowitz speaking as a liberal Democrat, James Woolsey,Joe Leiberman, George Pataki and others.

++I was in Paris with Woolsey when he made a presentation that resembled a Red Scare speech during the Wilson era.

++I guess I was right-this is the Obamacare for national security geeks. So maybe it makes sense that Obama is Hitler with Obamacare and John Kerry is Pontius Pilate. But whose Jesus Christ?
