arguments and logic he could to try to make the case that this was not only the best deal that the united states and it's negotiating partners could get, but really the only deal he call on congress to approve it. he said to do otherwise would simply issue a big blow to the u.s. credibility not just with its negotiating partners, but with other countries in the world. >> if we suddenly switch course and project the very outcome we have worked so hard to obtain, and not by offering some new and viable alternative, but by offering no alternative at all. it is hard to conceive of a quicker or more self-destructive blow to our nation's credibility and leadership. >> that was essentially his argument. that the idea of going back to

the bargaining table may sound attractive to try to get a better deal but it was not realistic. it was not something that the other countries of the united states negotiating this deal would support, and that he also then went back and we know through all the provisions of the deal to state how onerous it will be on iran, the kind of inspections they'll be subject to, the difficulty iran will have developing a covert plan to try to subvert the deal and the options that the united states would have to reinstate sanctions and even military options if iran were to try to develop a nuclear weapon in defiance of the deal. the secretary made this hour long defense in the speech in philadelphia on the same day that the administration secured that 34th vote in the senate that will enable the president if the senate passes a measure of disapproval to veto that measure, and have that vide
