We had them over a barrel - we drove such a hard bargain. John Forbes Kerry is a political mastermind.
Back to the real world - this reaction from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - CBS News:
"Don't let them have their yellowcake and eat it too"
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stepped up his criticism Wednesday of the U.S.-led nuclear deal with Iran, telling CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley that the agreement is a "very dangerous deal for the world" and warning that Israel has a "great and mighty" strength to defend itself.
"Giving the preeminent terrorist state of our time access to nuclear technology that they will ultimately turn into an arsenal of nuclear weapons and hundreds of billions of dollars to finance their terror machine is bad for everyone," Netanyahu told Pelley.
The Israeli leader said Iran is "the enemy of peace" and the deal - despite the restrictions it places on Tehran's nuclear program - was "legitimizing their path to a future bomb" within a few years.
"Don't let them have their yellowcake and eat it too," Netanyahu said, referring to milled uranium oxide, which is the first step toward enriched uranium.
Netanyahu's war of words came as his political rival, Isaac Herzog, announced he would go to the U.S. to lobby for a compensation package to insure Israel's military advantage in the region.
Even Netanyahu's political opponents are agreeing with him - this is a bad deal for everyone. Hell - even CBS News doesn't like the deal.
Kerry and Obama just ignited World War Three - it will take a few years to catch fire but we are headed there unless our next president does something soon.
This is as bad a deal as Chamberlain's Munich Accord of 1938.
