Colin Powell: Iran Deal is "Pretty Good"

Source: TDB/NBC

During a segment of NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday, former Secretary of State Colin Powell endorsed the Iran Deal on the table. "It's a pretty good deal," he said. He addressed the concern that the deal would allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon faster saying that people "forgetting the reality that (Iranian leaders) have been on a superhighway, for the last 10 years, to create a nuclear weapon or a nuclear weapons program, with no speed limit." Powell thinks the deal will move forward even if Congress doesn't end up agreeing. "Even if we were to kill the deal — which is not going to happen — it's going to take effect anyway, because all of these other countries that were in it with us are going to move forward," he said.

thanks to various stairways put in place by Democrats, and then showed his appreciation by becoming a Republican. I have no use for people who are without gratitude.
