Jindal on Iran Deal: A Bad Deal Is Worse than No Deal

‘I’m just talking about giving up enriched uranium, giving up all their centrifuges, anytime, anywhere inspections— those are the basic tenants of a basic deal’

JINDAL: "Look, I think a bad deal is worse than no deal. What we’re hearing is that we’re not going to get any time, anywhere inspections. What we’re hearing is Iran will keep thousands of centrifuges. I fear this administration could start a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. Sunni countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, are likely to going to want their own nuclear capabilities. May buy that from Pakistan. This would be a threat to Israel, to Europe, to America. I hope Secretary Clinton will evolve her views as she has evolved on other issues, and come against this very bad deal. I know she’s the architect of President Obama’s failed foreign policy, but this has to transcend partisan politics. We’re talking about an existential threat to the region, to the United States. Never mind the fact that we’re not even asking Iran to recognize Israel, to cut off ties to terrorism, to release American prisoners. I’m just talking about giving up enriched uranium, giving up all their centrifuges, anytime, anywhere inspections. Those are the basic tenants of a basic deal. And it doesn’t look like we’re getting any of those things."
