McCain: ‘I Worry’ Iran Deal ‘Is Going to Nuclearize the Middle East’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

BRZEZINSKI: “I'd like to ask you about Iran and the nuclear deal that was cut. I guess there are, you know, there's one school of thought that Iran is not capable of change. So how can you cut a deal with Iran? Do you think the deal is going to make it through Congress? And what are the ramifications if it does not? “

MCCAIN:  “I think it's not going to get through the first round, as you know, but the president's already said he would veto and then the question is there sufficient votes to override a veto? I think that will be dictated to some degree about the debate. And how people are convinced or not convinced that this is not a good deal or a good deal.

BRZEZINSKI: “Is it a good deal? Are there parts of it that are good deal? Does it make the Middle East safer in any way? “

MCCAIN:  “I worry that it's going to nuclearize the Middle East. I already talked to some of the leaders in the Middle East. They are deeply concerned. They are moved in a direction of acquiring nuclear weapons because they see this five year, eight year, ten year window that they're going to have to -- as Iran nuclearizes -- acquires nuclear weapons after ten years. But the other thing that is worry so many to me is when you give a promise to relieve the sanctions, general dumbford said that the copper tipped ieds killed at least 500 army and Marines and they're lifting the sanctions against him? Someone's going to have to explain that to me.”
