Michael McFaul on Iran: The Fact That We’re Not Talking About Ending Nuclear Weapons or Regime Change, That Sets a High Bar for Trump for Success

RUSH EXCERPT:McFAUL: "Well, first, if I was President Trump, I’D be furious that that was leaked by the CIA. That undermines his leverage in terms of the negotiations. But second, I think the president the the fundamental problem that I have with the way that he has conducted this war is he never brought the American people or the Senate or our NATO allies or the U.N. Security Council into the negotiations, into the discussions about why we needed this war in the first place. And as a result, it’s been very difficult for him to explain how he’s ending it, because we never have have been told clearly why we needed the war in the first place. And the fact that we’re not talking about ending nuclear weapons, that we’re not talking about regime change, that we’re not talking about constraints on the missiles and not talking about constraints on terrorist support, all the things that President Trump blamed my administration, the Obama Administration, for doing. And that’s why he had to tear up the Iran nuclear deal that sets a very high bar for him for success. He has to do better than what we did. And so far, he is not achieving that goal."
