"Iran is 4 years closer to a nuclear bomb" -- enough!!

Romney said it again last night, and it's nonsense.

Everything that can theoretically happen, that hasn't already happened, is 4 years closer to happening than it was 4 years ago!

Many Republicans wanted to attack Iran four years ago. Instead, four years later, we DON'T have those dead innocent Americans and Iranians, and still, no Iranian bomb.

We are 4 years closer to every conceivable outcome. As I see it, the efforts of this president do not bring us 4 years closer to a nuclear Iran… rather they have potentially brought us 4 years closer to a peaceful, nonmilitary resolution.

Iran was held back by Saddam being next door and he would not have allowed many things to happen, we can't put the cork back in this bottle so Obama had to work with what hand he was dealt.

And Charon is 4 years closer to banging it's sister moon with an antimatter bomb.
