This right here pretty much demonstrates the nuke deal would've been self-defeating even without Trump undermining it.

Obama thought this government was stable enough to send pallets of cash and make a nuke deal. They've cut the internet off. Lol

Quote:After CBS initially ignored the Iranian people’s uprising against their oppressors from Thursday to Saturday, and then downplayed the murder of two protesters and shootings of others earlier on Sunday, White House Correspondent Major Garrett finally dedicated some sort of significant time to the subject (two minutes 31 seconds) for the network when he was filling in on Face The Nation. Unfortunately, he only brushed over the details and questioned if President Trump should be speaking out in support of the people fighting for freedom.

Garrett began the show with an interview with Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and before getting to the interview he delivered an overly simplistic brief about what was going on in the Islamic republic. “We’ve got a lot to get to today, but we want to take note of the situation in Iran where anti-government protests continue for the third day. These are the largest demonstrations in the country in almost ten years. Two protesters were killed overnight,” he reported while getting the length of the protest wrong.

His lightning-fast news brief actually managed to shave a whole second off of his colleague Jane Pauley’s version which lasted 16 seconds. There was also no mention of the demonstrators’ chants of “Death to Rouhani” and “We don’t want an Islamic republic,” or women taking off their hijabs in support of women’s rights.

To start the interview with Graham, Garrett wanted to know what the Senator thought President Trump should do about the situation. “If I were President Trump I would have a nationwide address pretty soon explaining why the Iranian nuclear deal was a bad deal for the world, what a better deal would look like, and urge Congress and European allies to get a better deal with Iran before it’s too late,” Graham replied.

But that didn’t seem to sit well with Garrett who immediately questioned the wisdom of stepping out in support of the Iranian people.
“And the purpose of that national address would be to take note of this moment and put the United States foursquare on behalf and behind those people protesting in the streets,” he wondered. “Some have said that would be the wrong thing to do because that would give the regime an enemy to point at, us again!”

“The deal with Iran hasn’t worked. The money didn’t to go benefit the people, it went to benefit the Ayatollah and his henchmen. The people are not our enemy, the Ayatollah is the enemy of the world,” Graham explained shortly before Garrett shifted the topic to North Korea.
