Why did a CNN anchor just call Iran nuclear deal a “train wreck”?

“In an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani forcefully asserted that Iran would not destroy its nuclear centrifuges ‘under any circumstances,’” reports the Washington Beacon. “Rouhani’s comments come just days after the U.S. and Iran began to implement a deal which the White House claims will scale back Iran’s nuclear program. The Obama administration claims the goal of the deal is to prevent a nuclear Iran, yet Rouhani’s comments show Iran views the deal much differently.”

“Reacting to Rouhani’s position, Zakaria told CNN that the Iranian President’s comments struck him as a ‘train wreck,’” the Beacon reported.

“This strikes me as a train wreck. This strikes me as a huge obstacle because the Iranian conception of what the deal is going to look like and the American conception now look like they are miles apart,” Zakaria said.

Even on CNN, every once and a while the truth slips out.

Honestly, can you imagine John Eff’n Kerry coming up with anything that could benefit the United States?

Obama continues to hide the text of the “ agreement .” ( even though treaties have to be ratified by the senate to go Into effect ). What does this say about who may be more truthful concerning it ?

Too "post-American" for you, Fareed?

EVERYTHING Obama touches has become a mess. It is going to take decades to under the damage he has inflicted on this country.

One of the few things Obama is good at: hiding and concealing information from legitimate inquiry.

Which liar of the two issued that report?

Isn’t that the one Iran is denying?

Iran is clearly not going to dismantle anything so either the deal is already broken and moot or Iran was given a golden ticket to keep doing their thing with no more sanctions and no meddling and all they needed to do was keep quiet and they just couldn't do it. My guess, based on Obama's prior behavior in dealing with all things middle eastern is that he did indeed give them a pass and a promise to divert attention away from them and they are blowing it for him.

The Muslims are not under any obligation to bargain in good faith with us Infidels.
This is nothing more than a HUDNA, which is basically a delaying tactic to help the Muslims strengthen their position.
. When they are ready they will break any agreement, after all that is what Muhammed did, and he sets the example for Muslims. - Tom

Neither. It seems to be an IAEA report of the proposed 'deal'.

Remember, there are at least two 'public deals', contested by both sides, and probably a minimum of two 'secret deals'.

According to Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics, as of February 2013, of Israel's 8 million people, 75.4% were Jews of any background. The Holocaust (from the Greek ὁλόκαυστος holókaustos: hólos, "whole" and kaustós, "burnt")[2] also known as Shoah (Hebrew: השואה, HaShoah, "the catastrophe"; Yiddish: חורבן, Churben or Hurban, from the Hebrew for "destruction"), was the mass murder or genocide of approximately six million Jews History is about to repeat itself.
