White House Admits Final Deal Includes Enrichment

Bibi Is Not Crazy: White House Admits Final Deal Includes Enrichment

By: Yori Yanover December 4th, 2013

A final deal with Iran COULD include a capacity for uranium enrichment, the White House said.

"COULD" is what you say when you used to say "COULDN'T" but then the other side insisted they WOULD, and so you add a kind of implied "maybe" to the word by making it "could" instead of, say, "will zealously engage in producing weapons grade plutonium which is what they'd been meaning to do all along while we, here, at the White House were making fun of Netanyahu for being such a panicky sort."

Here's what Bernadette Meehan, the National Security Council spokeswoman actually said in a statement Tuesday in response to a query based on a story first reported by the Washington Free Beacon.

“We are prepared to negotiate a strictly limited enrichment program in the end state, but only because the Iranians have indicated for the first time in a public document that they are prepared to accept rigorous monitoring and limits on level, scope, capacity, and stockpiles.”

This is so like the joke about Churchill who asks a lady if she'd sleep with him for a thousand pounds and she said yes, then he asked what about for five, and she said: Sir, what do you think I am, and he said We already established that, now we're haggling over the price.

See, once the White House admits they lied all along, the part about monitoring day and night, with extra binoculars, the really good kind – that doesn't really matter any longer. The fact remains, the president agreed to Iranian enrichment and lied to the Israelis and the Saudis and everybody else who's shaking in their boots on account of they know the crazies in Tehran will happily go down in nuclear flames if they knew they were taking everybody else with them.

Saying now that you've only agreed to low level, not high level enrichment is exactly like low-balling the questionable lady from the apocryphal Churchill story.

Israel and the Saudis and, really, anyone with a healthy fear of Shiites, oppose any Iranian enrichment capacity, because Iran is led by madmen to whom Mutually Assured Destruction is martyrological panacea, not a threat.

“If we can reach an understanding on all of these strict constraints, then we can have an arrangement that includes a very modest amount of enrichment that is tied to Iran’s actual needs and that eliminates any near-term breakout capability,” Meehan said.If we can’t, then we’ll be right back to insisting on no enrichment.”

And a hearty good luck to you on that one, hope you'll visit Yad Vashem II, the Iranian Holocaust Museum. By the time the U.S. gets around to do all that insisting, Iran's economy will have started to blossom, anywhere from $50 to $300 billion will have been injected into their economy and they could do whatever they feel like, no matter what Obama is insisting on.

Folks, the first thing Obama did when he took office in 2009 was to betray the people who voted for him by compensating the bankers for their losses. He didn't invest a trillion dollars in Main Street, like so many of us expected he would – he gave it all to his buddies on Wall Street. We didn't know he had buddies on Wall Street – turns out he did.

This president will betray you just to pass a boring afternoon – of course he'll betray his Israeli and Saudi allies. He has done it already, in fact. Listen to his spokeswoman, for heaven's sake:

“Since the P5+1 would have to agree to the contours of a possible enrichment program, it is by definition not a ‘right’,” she said.

That's it? That's the big time guarantee? Two out of this group—China and Russia—are the heaviest promoters of killing the sanctions. They're going to demand now that Iran stop enrichment should inspectors discovered they'd gone up from 5% to, say, 5.9%? Then 7&? because that's how they'll do it, in inches, when no one's looking. that's how Rouhani did it in 2004.

“It is also important to note that Iran has acknowledged that issues raised in the UN Security Council resolutions have to be addressed and brought to a satisfactory conclusion before we agree to enrichment in the end state,” Meehan said.

Obviously. And then as soon as the UNSC says it's OK – Iran is off to the races.
