If You Apply the Reagan Formula to Iran
(Times of Israel) Interview with George Shultz by David Horovitz - Former U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz, 95, said: "If you apply the Reagan formula to Iran, you'd say, Okay, we're going to negotiate with Iran, let's be realistic. What are they? They're the biggest state sponsor of terrorism. Number two: They want to get ballistic missiles. Why do they want ballistic missiles? Number three: They have a (repressive) method of internal government. Number four: They want nuclear weapons. So you don't just negotiate on the nuclear weapons. You negotiate the whole thing. People would say, they wouldn't do it. Well, then we won't negotiate." Q: Then they'll close in on the bomb. Shultz: "Well, maybe. Or maybe we do something about it....I'm not happy about the Iran deal. Probably has postponed their acquisition of nuclear weapons. Postponed is the word."
