This morning brings news that Iran has been buiding another
secret nuclear plant that is has been hiding from the
international community. While this shouldn’t be a surprise to
those who do not trust the regime and have long held that the
nation is racing toward building a nuclear weapon, it does
complicate President Obama’s ability to argue that we can
negotiate with this regime and trust them to honor their
agreements.
“The size and configuration of this facility is inconsistent with
a peaceful (nuclear) program,” Obama said this morning, according
to USA Today.
“Iran is breaking rules that all nations must follow, endangering
the global nonproliferation regime,” he also said. “denying its
own people access to the opportunity they deserve, and
threatening the stability and security of the region and the
world.”
He added, according to the Washington Post
account, “International law is not an empty promise.”
