Obama: ‘I Have Yet To Hear’ a Better Alternative to Iran Deal

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

"Over the last couple of weeks I have challenged anyone opposed to this deal to put forward a better plausible alternative. I have yet to hear one. I have heard instead the same types of arguments we have heard in the run-up to the Iraq war. Iran cannot be dealt with diplomatically. We can take military strikes without significant consequences.

We shouldn't worry about the rest of the world thinks, because once we act everyone will fall in line. Tougher talk, more military threats will force Iran into submission. We can get a better deal. I know it's easy to play on people's fears. To magnify threats. To compare any attempt at diplomacy to Munich. But none of these arguments hold up. They didn't back in 2002 or 2003. They shouldn't now."
