There is a clear disconnect between what Obama and SecState Kerry claim about their "Iran deal," and the truth.J ust days after this "deal that isn't a deal yet," it is revealed that Iran is perhaps less than 90 days from completing the work necessary to build a nuke, but Obama wants us to believe he's bought us anywhere from 10-15 years.
They're two to three months now from acquiring a nuclear weapon, but the agreement is for them to be kept at least a year from that point?? How are they going to manage that? Do they honestly think Iran is going to back down off their research and development that drastically? As Cal Thomas said yesterday, believing that makes us April fools.
Not only have Obama and Kerry completely ignored the plights of Pastor Abedini, Post reporter Jason Rezaian, former Marine Amir Hekmati, and Levinson, they have repeatedly acquiesced to Iran's demands in exchange for getting a deal -- any deal, regardless of how bad.
Between 2008 and 2012, as cited in Atlantic Monthly, Obama stated publicly over twenty times that under his watch, Iran would never get a nuclear weapon. The last three years, Obama has taken an obviously different tack. He is either clueless about Iran -- highly unlikely -- or he is completely unconcerned about Iran acquiring a nuke.
Either way, his approach to Iran is frightening.
Obama says Iran time to build nuke could drop after 13 years
WASHINGTON (AP) — Iran could be able to obtain a nuclear weapon much more quickly after the first 13 years of the emerging nuclear deal, President Barack Obama acknowledged Tuesday. Yet he said that with no deal, the world would be even less equipped to stop it.
"Essentially, we're purchasing for 13, 14, 15 years assurances that the breakout is at least a year," Obama said in an NPR News interview. "And then in years 13 and 14, it is possible that those breakout times would have been much shorter. But at that point we have much better ideas about what it is that their program involves.
Breakout time refers to how long it would take to build a bomb if Iran decided to pursue one full-bore — in other words, how long the rest of the world would have to stop it. U.S. intelligence officials estimate Iran's breakout time is currently two to three months.

Cal Thomas Commentary: Iran nuclear deal and the White House credibility gap
Too bad the “framework” of a nuclear weapons deal with Iran didn’t come four days earlier on April Fools’ Day. It would have been more appropriate.
The United States is being asked to foolishly believe promises by a regime that is religiously motivated to eliminate Israel and ultimately the United States, is the premier sponsor of terrorism in the world, has a record of breaking promises, including past promises about nuclear weapons, and still holds American prisoners, including a Christian minister (Pastor Saeed Abedini), a Washington Post reporter, a former Marine and Robert Levinson, a retired DEA agent taken hostage in 2007.
