Fox News<\/a> reports that retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn who used to run the Defense Intelligence Agency said this about the administration’s pursuit of a nuclear deal with Iran in a written statement to a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee;<\/p>\n

“It is clear that the nuclear deal is not a permanent fix but merely a placeholder,” he said in the testimony, obtained by Fox News in advance of a hearing where he’s set to testify. <\/p>\n

He said the 10-year timeframe on parts of the deal “only make sense” if the U.S. thinks a “wider reconciliation” with Iran is possible. He called this “wishful thinking,” adding that “regime change” is the best way to stop Iran’s nuclear weapons program. <\/p>\n

In lengthy written remarks, Flynn asserted that Iran has “every intention” of building a nuclear weapon, and their desire to destroy Israel is “very real.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, it’s not like we already didn’t think that, but it’s nice to have General Flynn validate our suspicions. Who better to negotiate policy based on wishful thinking than John Kerry?<\/p>\n
