Nuclear Deal Allows Iran Significantly to Boost Centrifuges After 10 Years
WSJ ^ | April 4, 2015 | By LAURENCE NORMAN

France on Saturday outlined one part of what the gradual ramp-up of Iran’s nuclear program could entail after the initial 10-year phase of a framework accord.

Since Thursday’s deal between Tehran and a group of six world powers on the outlines of a final agreement, the U.S., the Iranians and the French have each produced their own documents outlining what they see as the highlights of the deal. That has led to squabbling between U.S. and Iranian officials over differences in their versions.

According to a French fact sheet, Iran would be able to carry out a “gradual, clearly defined increase of (enrichment) capacities between the 10th and 13th year, with the introduction of the advanced IR-2 and IR-4 centrifuges.”

While there wasn’t detail on how many of the advanced machines Iran would be able to deploy, Tehran’s agreement with the U.S. and its negotiating partners could strengthen concerns among skeptics that a future deal would do too little to prevent Iran’s access to a nuclear weapon over the medium term....

According to the French, even if the Iranians don’t cheat, they can now legally amass enough plutonium at the end of ten years to make a nuclear bomb.

But who’s counting? Obama has hailed it as “peace in our time.”

Well, the thing is, only Obama and Kerry expect the
Iranians to live up to the “agreement”, and seondly
what sort of improvements and developments will be
made in centrifuges over the next say five years?

Obama thinks he will write the history of his legacy,
I think the mullahs have a different view.

I was told by one of my friends who is in CNC machine sales that Saudi Arabia has put blanket orders out for precision machines, (top end mostly foreign machines) enough so that deliveries have upticked here in the states.

This is so messed up, and it will only get worse now.

Meanwhile so many said they would not vote for Mitt Romney. Well, guess what, you got Obama by not voting.

They are still able to run thousands of their original design centrifuges. Enough to make one bomb a year. They will not settle for anything less.

IOW, the Iranian mullahcracy will continue to expand its nuclear weapons program, using the new cash from the lifting of sanctions, while working on its ICBMs — ballistic missiles not being part of the surrender discussions. Thanks JimRob.

Let us take a look at the commonalities of the leaders of the Democrat Party. Commonalities are what cause people to join together in groups.

They are all feminists. Yeah, like Bill Clinton.
They are all socialists. Yeah, like John Heinz Kerry.
They are all environmentalists. Yeah, like John Edwards.
They are all pacifists. Yeah, like Hillary Clinton.
They are all homosexuals. Yeah, like Harry Reid.
They are all intellectuals. Yeah, like Joe Biden.
They are all Moslems. Yeah, like Nancy Pelosi.

No commonalities there.

They all want lots of money for themselves and their families.

AND WE HAVE A WINNER!

When did the survival of the United State of America fall to one man’s treason in full view of the nation?

I would say so. They've been waiting centuries for this.

Indeed. Long Term Planning.

would that we as a Nation would take notice of their previous exploits across the middle east and on into Europe.

It appears that we need to re fight the Crusades.

Since martyrdom is what they seek, it’s “win-win”.

With lifting of sanctions in this Iran “deal”, Iran will have enough money to simply buy nukes from N. Korea and Pakistan. Both those countries have nukes up to their eyeballs and need the cash. So, what it boils down to is that Iran can play the distraction game like a magician does, about Westerners focused on nuclear material processing inside Iran, while Iran quietly buys up nukes in the nuke bazaar.

Obamney instead of Obama.

Four years of sleepwalking into fascism rather than the full sprint we're now going into.

I have more hope that things will turn around now that the liberals are overplaying every hand they have been given.

Ten years? no. This deal is unenforceable from the getgo. The Security Council will be the authority enforcing the “inspections” and Putin has a veto on whatever the SC determines to do. Russia is officially an ally of Iran. Iran gets lots more resources from the lifting of sanctions to accelerate its nuclear development. Iran will not abide by an agreement any more than Iran has abided by any agreement. Obama is getting all that he personally wants but it is no good for anyone else involved, except, perhaps, for the Moslem Brotherhood.

O and K do not expect anything of the sort and are counting on that which seems to be inevitable.

Romney would have brought us to as sorry a pass, just the details would be different. We would certainly have a cleaner more thorough and better managed End-of-Healthcare system with Romney.

I may not have been as clearly sarcastic as necessary..

ten years at the ‘Outside” as though the thoroughly immoral Mooselim brotherhood cares about any agreements..sanctions or anything else but their goals of wiping out israel and destroying all infidels.
