Moniz Says 24-Day Delay for Iran Inspections is OK
2015-07-20
[Breitbart] Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz once promised "anywhere, anytime" access to Iran's nuclear sites, known and unknown. In the end, he and the rest of the crack Obama administration negotiating team gave up on that pledge. Instead, they accepted a limited inspections system that will allow Iran to delay disputed inspections by at least 24 days. On Sunday, Moniz made the rounds of the talk shows, claiming that 24 days would be sufficient to detect whatever traces were left of nuclear activity. That is partially true, but does not actually solve the problem.

There are aspects of the nuclear deal that have non-nuclear components. For example, Iran is supposed to limit its research into advanced centrifuges. Yet a centrifuge is simply a machine that separates lighter and heavier uranium isotopes. It is possible to conduct research on centrifuge technology far beyond what is allowed in the agreement, and without generating new isotopes. A mechanical lab could easily be dismantled and hidden in 24 days.

#2  Why all the complaining? After all inspections worked so well in North Korea..

... oh wait...

OK now riddle me this: How long between Iran telling is to tale a Flying F at a rolling doughnut and the site being obliterated? 24 years? It'll probably take 24 months for the sternly worded letter to be finalized.
