Iran: Deal or no deal, we're not going to let you American 'apple polishers' inspect anything

The nuclear "deal" with Iran is in everyone's best interest. All they want is access to the kind of cheap, efficient, nuclear power that the left is denying the United States. Once they have it, they'll be happy. They'll even let foreign inspectors come in and make sure that they're not trying to build any sort of 'unfortunate' weapons of mass destruction. In this way, we'll actually delay their acquisition of a nuke.

That's the message from the left. We're no longer trying to stop Iran from getting the bomb. Instead, we're embarking on a plan that grants Iran nuclear capability after an arbitrary fifteen-year period. We're "inspecting and delaying." Except… it looks like we're already having problems with the whole "inspecting" part. According to Yahoo news, top level Iranians spent the weekend making sure the world knows that their country has no intention complying with inspections. Inspectors will not be granted access to even their ordinary military sites - let alone anything "fishy."

International nuclear inspectors will be barred from all Iranian military sites under any deal with world powers, a senior commander in the Revolutionary Guard said Sunday, setting up a possible standoff as negotiators try to reach a final deal. Gen. Hossein Salami, the Guard's deputy leader, told Iranian state television that allowing foreign inspection of military sites is tantamount to "selling out," raising the stakes as talks between Iran and the six-nation group are to resume April 22 in Vienna.

"We will respond with hot lead (bullets) to those who speak of it," Salami said. "Iran will not become a paradise for spies. We will not roll out the red carpet for the enemy." Salami said allowing foreign inspectors to visit a military base would amount to "occupation," and expose "military and defense secrets." "It means humiliating a nation," Salami added. "They will not even be permitted to inspect the most normal military site in their dreams." While General Salami was busy squashing the dreams of the planet's would-be Hans Blixs, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei informed his military staff that claims about Iran's nuclear program were simply another invention of The Great Satan.

"Americans, Europeans and some apple polishers fabricated the myth of nuclear weapons to say that the Islamic Republic was a threat. No. The threat is America itself."

Apple Polishers? Frankly that's not really up to his usual level of anti-Western rhetoric. You'd think he could have at least thrown a "death to America" in there. Maybe he's not feeling well. Regardless, we assume Obama and Kerry will press ahead in their never ending quest to give Iran everything they want in exchange for absolutely nothing. It's their one-step plan to weaken Israel's position in the region, suck up to America's enemies, AND secure some kind of misbegotten "legacy" for themselves. Why would they even consider stopping?
