You’ve got to hand it to the Obama administration. It’s finding intriguing ways to sell a nuclear arms deal to its critics.<\/p>\n

Consider a tactic being employed by President Obama’s team as it seeks congressional support for the deal that blocks Iran’s efforts to build a nuclear bomb.<\/p>\n

It goes like this: Allowing inspection of nuclear development operations will give the United States greater intelligence capabilities — in case<\/em> it decides to bomb the Iranians.<\/p>\n

What a deal. Such intelligence thus, the theory goes, placates those who hate the deal because it’s the result of negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, which they don’t trust as far as they can throw them. Heck, they’d rather bomb them than talk to them. This deal, though, makes it easier to bomb Iran if they break the rules regarding inspections.<\/p>\n

As one who supports the deal, I find this marketing strategy quite intriguing.<\/p>\n

Politico reports: \u201cIf you want to bomb the program, you should be super-excited about this deal,\u201d said Austin Long, a professor at Columbia University\u2019s School of International and Public Affairs who studies U.S. military options against Iran. \u201cThe more you know about Iran\u2019s nuclear program and the industrial infrastructure behind that program, the better you will be able to target it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Obama administration — along with the officials from the other great powers that negotiated the deal — insist that it “blocks all pathways” to Iran’s ability to obtain a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

They have rules they must follow. If they don’t, we’ll have inspectors on the ground collecting intelligence.<\/p>\n

Then it could be “bombs away!”<\/p>\n
