Energy Secretary Moniz is the administration's spokesperson on Face the Nation


US energy secretary Ernest Moniz, who negotiated the technical side of the deal, said Netanyahu’s assessment was wrong.

“We certainly have a very, very different view of the facts,” Moniz said on CBS News. “Certainly today, the breakout time [for Iran to acquire a weapon] is about two months. This will immediately get us over a year. It will get us there with almost instantaneous recognition of any attempt to evade the deal, and it will give us plenty of time to respond diplomatically or otherwise.”

“If they fail to meet any of these requirements, we are immediately going to know.”

Moniz said compliance could be assured because of “unprecedented access and transparency” for inspectors. “We’ll have continuous surveillance of centrifuge production,” he said.

Netanyahu was on CNN too - and was countered by Dianne Feinstein, who essentially said he had no realistic alternative ... and I think told him to go to time out (well to contain himself )

At the end of the Guardian link, he is saying that we should wait for a new President - saying either Clinton or all the Republicans - except Rand Paul - would get a better deal. How's that for ignoring that it is not the P1, but P5 + 1.
