You really have to wonder if these people even hear the words coming out of their mouths. During an interview on this Sunday’s This Week on ABC, UN Ambassador Mike Walz was asked about some of the criticism of the supposed “deal” being made with Iran this weekend, and the fact that anything that is agreed to is not going to be an improvement on the JCPOA that was negotiated during his administration.
After lying that whatever they negotiate now is going to be an improvement, host Martha Raddatz followed up with some specifics, which led to Walz telling this whopper.
RADDATZ: Let me just say, with the JCPOA, they lifted sanctions only after there were verifiable steps toward implementing the deal. That took six months. They didn’t get any sort of payment until that was verified. And I know they will say that those were unfrozen assets. But I also want to go back to what President Obama said. 80 percent, 90 percent of a deal may be better than going to war. You want 100 percent of what you want.
WALTZ: Well, first, to your point of verified, you know, under the JCPOA, and that definition was so loose that the Iranians just trampled all over what we could verify or what we couldn’t, as dictated by them.
