Clinton Backtracks On Nuclear Breakout Restrictions

Last August, Clinton called for restricting Iran’s breakout time, which is the time Iran needs to produce enough uranium for a nuclear bomb, to “more than a year.”

QUESTION: Would you be content with an Iran that is perpetually a year away from being able to reach nuclear-breakout capability?

CLINTON: I would like it to be more than a year. I think it should be more than a year. No enrichment at all would make everyone breathe easier.

Instead, the new agreement would restrict Iran’s breakout time to only one year for the next ten years, when Iran will be allowed to develop advanced centrifuges. The New York Times noted that after ten years “the breakout time diminishes to just a few months” as Iran’s nuclear program returns to where it is today.

Clinton’s support clearly fails to adhere to the standards she set for the deal many people agree she now owns.

Clinton Backs Off Her Previous Enrichment Requirements For Iran Deal

A year ago almost to the day, Hillary Clinton said that any nuclear deal with Iran should allow for “so little enrichment or no enrichment … for a long period of time” because she believed “any enrichment will trigger an arms race in the Middle East.”

“This is a – this is the real nub of it, because if you cannot be persuaded that the Iranians cannot break out and race toward a nuclear weapon, then you cannot have a deal. I believe strongly that it’s really important for there to be so little enrichment or no enrichment, at least for a long period of time, because I do think that any enrichment will trigger an arms race in the Middle East.”

However, under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action just announced yesterday, Iran is allowed uranium enrichment up to 3.67% for the next 15 years. In addition, Saudi Arabia and other Arab states have already said they will “match” Iran’s enrichment capabilities.

Clinton’s endorsement of a deal that doesn’t meet her previous expectations is yet another example of the failed Clinton-Obama foreign policy that she undeniably now owns.

Clinton Ignores Own Past And Facts While Discussing Clinton Foundation And Cybersecurity

In an interview aired on WMUR today, Hillary Clinton continuously ignored the facts and her own record. First she discussed the Clinton Foundation, claiming that all of its donors had been disclosed.

In reality, two of the Clinton Foundation’s major affiliate organizations have not disclosed all of their donors.

Clinton also talked about the significant risk the US faces from cyber warfare and the need to build a cyber security infrastructure.

However, Clinton ignored the fact that while she was Secretary, the State Department’s cable system lacked “basic security.” The State Department is still facing issuesfrom lack of cyber security, with hackers gaining access to the White House computer system. Clinton also didn’t mention her private email server, which experts said was vulnerable:

#TBT: Illinois Democrat’s Investments In A Uranium Company Tied To Iran

            Today, The New York Times revealed Hillary Clinton’s connection to a Russian agency that has taken over a company with “uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West.”

        However, Clinton is not the only Democrat whose finances are tied to uranium production. Brad Schneider, who is running for a third time in Illinois’ 10th congressional district, was dogged by his family’s investments in an uranium company that did business with Iran during the 2014 election.
