Political Quotes

“I think, based on past behavior, that would be one's expectation. Again, we know there are facilities that are operating, and we haven't been able to get into those facilities. When you look at the facts, one of the things that is not even being addressed is the whole delivery system--their ability to deliver the weaponry. None of this discussion thus far, to my knowledge, has anything to do with their developing capabilities to actually deliver a nuclear weapon. What I am concerned about--the Senator focused on the centrifuges and it is the central issue--no question. I think the Senator has wisely pointed out how the Supreme Leader has tried to move the goalpost so far down the field that just getting to the 30- or 40-yard line looks good to us. But we also did the same on the front end of the deal by acknowledging in the preamble or the four-page agreement that enrichment certainly could occur. But here is what is happening, I fear. On every other single portion--not just the centrifuge--the goal posts are being moved. In other words, the things that we thought were going to take place on the front end--whether it was the Arak facility and what was going to occur there or what was going to happen in other pieces of the deal--all of that adds up to very important elements or a final deal. I am afraid what is happening is the goalpost is moving on all of those as time goes on.”
