What was his goal here?
And then we can talk about, was this the right operation in order for the United States to
order the B-2 bombers to strike these facilities in what, again, was a limited operation, as President Trump has said, and in order to drive the Iranians back to the negotiating table and finally do the deal that President Trump has asked them to do since he came into office in January.
I mean, really, everything?
There was not one thing I said that was true?
Just one thing.
All right.
22 years of working on Iran, and I got that right.
They have no plutonium route to the bomb under the JCPOA.
Iraq is where they pour concrete into the reactor and shut it down.
And the reason they pour concrete... Under the JCPOA.
Not they, but the Obama administration is right.
Under the JCPOA, poured concrete into the calendria in order to prevent them from using that reactor to reprocess plutonium.
So there's a distinction between Iraq and Boucher.
Scott's exactly right.
Boucher is a reactor, a heavy water reactor provided by the Russians, as I described, for the generation of...
electricity.
It's proliferation proof.
Iraq is the opposite.
It's a heavy water reactor that was built for a plutonium pathway to nuclear weapons, which is exactly why under the JCPOA, they literally had to pour concrete into the middle of it to prevent it from reprocessing plutonium.
