Today’s quote comes to us from Senator Chris Coons (D-Delaware). It concerns Iran’s nuclear program.
Here is what Senator Coons had to say yesterday, while being interviewed on CNN News Central:
“Well, look, frankly, they’ve insisted, for years, that they have a right to enrich, and I think it’s time for us to call an end to that and to say that the inspections would be broader, deeper, more continuous, and that they would abandon all of their nuclear enrichment program. And that would require them opening up all of their sites to continuous monitoring, and, frankly, actions to decommission what’s left of their nuclear program.
“They’ve shown, over recent years, as they’ve raced to enrich to 60%, which is close to bomb grade, hundreds of kilograms of uranium, this is not a peaceful civilian program. They are preparing for and very close to the capacity to have the fissile material for a dozen bombs.
“Every nation, every — all of the G7, the seven largest economies in the world, all of our European partners and allies, have recently restated a core principle, Iran should not have a nuclear weapon, and their nuclear program poses a threat, not just to Israel, but to many of the nations of the world.”
Wow. What a brilliant idea. Incredible that no one in a position of authority has taken this position until now. (Feel free to wipe my sarcasm off your screen any time you care to).
I award Chris Coons Quote Of The Day honors for stating exactly President Donald Trump’s Iran policy from day one, without in any way attributing it to Trump or giving him any credit for it.
Count on our wonderful “neutral” media to point this out loudly and clearly. (Consider this another opportunity to wipe my sarcasm off your screen).
