Former Senator Webb: Giving "Tacit Approval" for Iran's Eventual Acquisition of Nuclear Weapons Is Unprecedented
(Washington Times) David Sherfinski - Former Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) told CNN Thursday: "I think that the focus on this deal has simply been on a slowing down [of] the potential acquisition of nuclear weapons by Iran, and we've never been in [this] situation before where we have sort of given a tacit approval for the eventual acquisition of nuclear weapons by another country." He also knocked "an approach that is just focusing on a nuclear agreement when we have to look at the balance of power in the region and the signals that have been sent in the region in terms of Iran's growing power."
