"Mr President, on Sunday, Iran admitted that it had achieved proficiency in the full range of activities for enriching uranium. Several top Iranian nuclear negotiators had previously admitted that the clerical regime was not at such a point in October 2003 when a nuclear agreement was signed with Europe’s big three.
The loophole-laden agreement has left lots of wiggle room for Tehran, effectively providing perfect diplomatic cover for the mullahs to gain the most precious thing they needed to advance their weapons programme: time.
When it comes to ideologically-driven regimes, the bitter truth is that appeasement is an exercise in futility. We should be thankful to the National Council of Resistance of Iran for blowing the cover off Iran’s clandestine nuclear programme. Were it not for them, Iran would have acquired the A-bomb by now.
In this light, serious consideration must be given to the notion that Iran’s nuclear threat and its sponsorship of terror can only be halted through the toppling of this regime by Iranians and democratic opposition groups such as the National Council of Resistance of Iran."@en1
