Anyone who doesn’t look at Iran through rose-colored glasses knew the Iran Deal was garbage from the get-go. What’s it gonna take for the lefties melting down to realize that?
Well, how about the leader of the Iranian Regime himself?

From the AP:
Iran’s president is saying there’s a “short time” to negotiate with the countries remaining in the nuclear deal, warning his country could start enriching uranium more than ever in the coming weeks.
…
Rouhani spoke live on Iranian state television. He says he will be sending Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to countries remaining in the accord.
He says, “I have ordered Iran’s atomic organization that whenever it is needed, we will start enriching uranium more than before.” He says Iran would start this “in the next weeks.”
Weeks, eh?
This is an admission against interest in several ways. Pop quiz for Iran deal supporters: Tell me why. https://t.co/by04xgLHmw

Cue “Jeopardy!” theme. Anyone? Anyone?
Bzzzt! Sorry, times up. The answers are 1) Iran has the enrichment capacity to spin up HEU ("more than before?") as well as the raw materials to do so? Of course they do. https://t.co/QJN6j8Y3YS But we were told it would take months for them to pull together pre-deal capacities.

Seems weird they can start up so quickly given the deal has been in place for a few years ? https://t.co/uWCVk9y0cR

Obama: This deal was working and pulling out of it was a mistake
Iran: And to prove it we now have more capabilities to enrich uranium than ever before and will do it in just a matter of weeks, which this deal wasn’t supposed to allow us to do.

such a strong agreement they are up and running that quick? Almost like it was a BS deal.

If they can start within weeks, it was a pretty crappy deal to begin with.

This isn't a contravention of the terms of the Iran deal. It is perfectly within its terms.

That was the genius of it all!
Obama: Iran is moderating now, so we should sign a deal with them! ::signs deal::
Trump: Nope, they're extremist terror-supporters. ::kills deal::
Iran: You killed the deal? We'll attack Israel and ramp up our nuclear development!
Obama: See, I was right all along!— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) May 8, 2018
