The Captain is blogging the NYT article about the “agreement” reached between the EU and Iran regarding the radioactive mullahs promise not to process uranium in return for some very generous economic concessions.
And if you believe that, I know of a bridge in Tehran that you could pick up for a song.
As I pointed out here, the framework for the agreement mirrors the one with North Korea back in the nineties. And we know how well that worked out. Dearest Leader Kim was able to violate that agreement with impunity and, when the time was ripe, repudiate it completely.
The idiocy of the Europeans who’ve agreed to build a “light-water” nuclear reactor and sell the mullahs nuclear fuel is beyond belief. Fuel from such reactors cuts the time to enrich uranium by more than a third. If anything, it sets the mullahs back about 9 months in their quest to build nuclear weapons. And since there’s no verification protocols in place, I guess we’ll just have to trust the maniacs not violate the agreement.
IMAO, I think that this move virtually assures a strike by Israel before the summer is out. Given the Administration’s strong support for the Jewish State, I doubt whether we’d go along with any European effort at sanctions but, like Reagan did back in 1981 when the Israeli’s hit the Osirik reactor in Iraq, we’d register some kind of strong protest.
