Walker Compares Inspecting Iran’s Nuclear Facilities To Inspecting Teen Boys’ Bedrooms

“To me, the provisions in this deal are like telling teenage boys, not only can you have the doors closed, but we got to shout up the stairs before we walk up the steps.”

Scott Walker said on Wednesday that the United States should treat the inspection of Iran’s nuclear facilities the way parents treat inspections of teenage boys’ bedrooms.

“Throughout the process, I’ve spoke out repeatedly about it,” the Wisconsin governor told Iowa radio host Simon Conway. “I’ve got two boys in college now, but when they were in high school, we’d have a rule that they could have friends over, including girls, as long as the door to their room was open.”.....

I'm sure Walker thinks kissing girls is as bad as developing a nuclear weapon. Of course, he's ignoring the fact that the agreement is more like his open door policy than not having an agreement. To use his analogy, no agreement amounts to not being able to demand they have open doors, closed doors, or anything. You just go along not knowing if they're up there kissing girls. Then, one day, you throw a hand grenade in their room because you just know all that silence means they're having sex.

there will be as little action in Iran's nuclear facilities as there was in my bedroom (that was even without any inspections regime, unfortunately).
