The big lie on Iran, yet again
President Obama yesterday:
President Barack Obama said the U.S. has a "very good estimate" of when Iran could complete work on a nuclear weapon.Technically speaking, there is a "c" there - "could" and not "would." But even with that caveat, the rest of the sentence - "complete work on a nuclear weapon" - conveys a very clear (and completely false) message to the American people - Iran is working on a nuclear weapon, the only question is when will they be finished. After all, you wouldn't talk about "completing" something that you not only haven't started, but aren't even planning on doing.
