In which iran said well destroy every element and facility and you name it, it is all gone. i can envision a world in which congress passed every one of my bills that i put forward. i mean, there are a lot of things i can envision that would be wonderful. but precisely because we dont trust the nature of the iranian regime, i think we have to be more realistic and ask ourselves what puts us in a strong position to assure ourselves that iran is not having a nuclear weapon and that we are protecte...

With the approach to negotiation and the idea that economic sanctions brought iran to the table. you can have a negotiation when there is a bridgeable difference between two parties that have something in common. here, obama to give him the most benign interpretation came to the table to try to do something to stop the iranian nuclear weapons program. iran came to the table to protect the nuclear weapons program and to get relief from sanctions. it pretty much achieved the objecti objectives. yo...

If you have an end state that means iran doesnt have nuclear weapons that means iran has to reverse a 25-year-long policy. of course iran says it doesnt want nuclear weapons. thats part of the program of deception. whats really underlying the administration here is although they have said they dont want iran to get nuclear weapons, obama believes you can contain and deter a nuclear iran as we did the soviet union during the cold war. thats delusional. i think the calculus of the atoe las is diff...

Trend. i think it sees the road ahead now for it to get nuclear weapons at a time of its choosing. >> i know you feel this is not a good deal. in your words this is abject surrender. is it that bad? what makes it surrender? >> there is one absolutely critical point in this agreement. you can argue about all four pages of it. its a very flaud document. one critical point is that it allows iran to keep enriching uranium and it contemplates an end state that iran will have a uranium enrichment prog...

And the international community has conceded this. again, the question is not what happens in the next six months. the question is whether or not these negotiations will produce an end state, a relatively stable end state in which there will be enough assurance that there will be enough time on the clock so should the iranians invalidate the agreement and try to dash for a weapon, there will be enough time so that the international community, the united states in particular or perhaps the israel...

Chunk of cash and its in foreign currency as im reading here, james. any thoughts on that? >> reporter: right. i mean, some of the critics of a deal with iran such as the israelis, the saudis had suggested that the west was toying with the idea of alleviating the sanctions on iran to the tune of 40 to $50 billion a year. the obama administration privately said no, were talking about 6 to $10 billion in sanctions released that the west would be giving up. again, this is a six-month deal during wh...

Some of those concerns. there really wasnt a great deal of discussion about our relationshiptom allies except in passing. it was really, wolf, to focus on the potentialities of this deal. the details. what an end state might be. what the interim deal was composed. >>.that was the major focus. i thought the meeting was a good meeting from the standpoint of understanding those issues. again, i think youve got people at that mng that feel like this is a really bad thing to be doing. i think youve g...

Country, britain, germany, and france were negotiating with from 2003 and 2005. the issue is the same. will we treat iran on a basis of equality or will we insist merely on humiliating them and subjugating them by economic warfare? the fact is we wont succeed if we just use economic warfare. we have to be smarter than that and use the gradual withdrawal of sanctions in return for specific iranian concessions. >> all right. >> but the difficulty about that approach at presence is the united state...

International community cannot remain idle. a clear and strong response is crucial to make clear that such crimes are unacceptable. >> we are very grateful for the statement that came out of the meeting today with respect to syria, a strong statement about the need for accountability. >> back home president obama is preparing to address the nation on tuesday night while also trying to build support in congress for a vote that would support his plan to attack syria. today though one senate democr...
