CIA director says it would be 'folly' to scrap Iran deal

Updated 4:07 am, Wednesday, November 30, 2016


LONDON (AP) — The CIA director says it would be an act of "folly" for U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to scrap the nuclear deal with Iran.

John Brennan told the BBC in an interview broadcast Wednesday that it would be "disastrous" to end the deal designed to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

Trump threatened during the campaign to scrap the deal. Brennan said doing so would strengthen hardliners in Iran and possibly spur other countries to pursue nuclear weaponry.

The CIA director also suggested Trump should be wary of promises made by Russia because of Russia's past failure to deliver.

6. Unfortunately, there is a precedent for this . .

A GOP Congress blew up the nuke deal with North Korea
that had been negotiated by Clinton.

Result? N. Korea got nukes.

Cost to the GOP? Zero.

7. Well duh. The CIA worships Papa Bush and if we go to war with Iran, they release the hostages
