The Hildebeest hitches her wagon to Champ's Iran deal
[PJ Media] Hillary Clinton issued a lengthy statement tonight not only giving props to the Iran nuclear deal but also basically taking credit for it."I am still studying the details, but based on the briefings I received and a review of the documents, I support the agreement because it can help us prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. With vigorous enforcement, unyielding verification, and swift consequences for any violations, this agreement can make the United States, Israel, and our Arab partners safer," Clinton said. "...Today's agreement is the culmination of a sustained strategy of pressure and engagement executed over many years. As secretary of State, I logged tens of thousands of miles and twisted a lot of arms to build a global coalition to impose the most crippling sanctions in history. That unprecedented pressure delivered a blow to Iran's economy and gave us leverage at the negotiating table, starting in Oman in 2012. I know from experience what it took to build a global effort to get this done; I know what it will take to rally our partners to enforce it." As president, Clinton said, she would "use every tool in our arsenal to compel rigorous Iranian compliance." "We can never permit Iran to evade its obligations or to place any suspicious site off limits to inspectors," she said. "And the response to any cheating must be immediate and decisive -- starting with the return of sanctions but taking no options off the table, including, if necessary, our military options."
