Today’s Secure Freedom Minute with Frank Gaffney: President Trump says “Iran wants a deal.” It would be more accurate to say Iran wants to negotiate about “a deal.” The difference is, as Mark Twain put it, between “lightning and a lightning bug.”
Iran’s sharia-supremacist regime has used decades of such negotiations ostensibly aimed at denuclearizing Iran, to buy time to continue: its nuclear weapons program; its build-up of various missiles with which to deliver them across the Middle East and even here; and its enabling of jihadist terrorism worldwide.
Mr. Trump insists he’ll address all those threats. But the ayatollahs have a culture of haggling in the bazaar and hope to run the clock out on his military options.
Memo to the President: “Give peace a chance” the only way it can possibly eventuate – namely, by doing deals with the liberated people of Iran after this regime is gone.
