secretary of defense william cohen was on us earlier and said that the devil is always in the details. abouteeds to be known what was struck between the six powers and the iranians? jimi will have a better idea when i get to all 158 pages. i think the concerns people will have is what happens after 15 or 20 years. on the other hand, 15 years is a pretty long time. five years ago, people have not heard of isis. 15 years is an extremely long time in public policy terms. what will iran to 15 years now? are the things we can do now to have follow-up agreements or other sorts of steps to protect ourselves in the future? that is all worth considering. the other thing i would add is that why do agreements work? they do not work because one party is starting -- threatening the other party into capitulation. they work with both sides working in their self-interest. iran is at that fork in the road. now is the time to lock them in. if this agreement produces benefits for iran, it will stay in the agreement. if it doesn't, they will walk away. same thing for the u.s.. if the agreement is not serving the u.s., then we will walk away. agreements work because all parties benefit.
