| Saudi Prince Not Pleased with Champ's Agreement |
| 2015-07-16 |
| Unexpectedly. Will Champ lecture him like he does the MSM? Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan, a former ambassador to Washington, has said in an opinion piece for Elaph newspaper that the United States moved forward with the Iran nuclear deal despite predictions of the situation developing into a North Korean-style scenario. In a column published by the London-based Arabic news website Elaph, the former chief of intelligence said the nuclear deal "will wreak havoc in the Middle East," a region already plagued by major conflicts. President Clinton's decision was based on strategic foreign policy analysts, top secret national intelligence, and the desire "to save the people of North Korea from starvation," wrote Prince Bandar, in reference to the 1994 "Agreed Framework" between North Korea and the United States that aimed to freeze the country's nuclear power program. The agreement finally broke down in 2003 when North Korea announced its withdrawal from the international Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and later declared it had manufactured nuclear weapons. The country now has as many as 20 nuclear warheads, according to Chinese intelligence. President Clinton "would not have made that decision" had he known it was based on "a major intelligence failure" and "wrong foreign policy analysis," wrote Prince Bandar, nephew of Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz. One would hope you are correct, Prince, but when you're building your legacy or trying to get your roommate elected President, sometimes you do weird things. But "President Obama made his decision to go ahead with the Iran nuclear deal fully aware that the strategic foreign policy analysis, the national intelligence information, and America's allies in the region's intelligence all predict not only the same outcome of the North Korean nuclear deal but worse - with the billions of dollars that Iran will have access to," Prince Bandar stated. So how long will it take for Champ's deal to unravel? |

| #2 I count Israel's attacking the Iranian sites as unraveling the Peace-in-our-time deal the Champ and Lurch negotiated. Other less desirable hostile acts would also prove the stupidity of the deal. |

| #1 So how long will it take for Champ's deal to unravel? It's not going to unravel, because Israel can't afford to wait so long. |
