You can’t make this stuff up, folks, unless you’re Barack Hussein Obama.

Talking about letting the wolf guard the hen house.  AP reports:
Iran, in an unusual arrangement, will be allowed to use its own experts to inspect a site it allegedly used to develop nuclear arms under a secret agreement with the U.N. agency that normally carries out such work, according to a document seen by The Associated Press. The revelation is sure to roil American and Israeli critics of the main Iran deal signed by the U.S., Iran and five world powers in July. Those critics have complained that the deal is built on trust of the Iranians, a claim the U.S. has denied.
The investigation of the Parchin nuclear site by the International Atomic Energy Agency is linked to a broader probe of allegations that Iran has worked on atomic weapons. That investigation is part of the overarching nuclear deal.
The Parchin deal is a separate, side agreement worked out between the IAEA and Iran. The United States and the five other world powers that signed the Iran nuclear deal were not party to this agreement but were briefed on it by the IAEA and endorsed it as part of the larger package.
Couple that news with this.
Sayyed Abbas Araqchi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister and one of the top negotiators in talks that led to the recently inked nuclear deal, told the country’s state-controlled press that Iran’s intelligence apparatus must approve of any inspector who is issued a visa to enter Iran.
So Iran not only gets to pick inspectors who supposedly are the enforcers of the JCPOA protocols, but it gets to do its own inspection of the Parchin nuclear site.  Is this the Administration's version of "Trust but verify."  If there is no true independent verification, we are left with trust, the Administration's selling point.  Can you trust the Iranians.  Sen. Menendez said he couldn't, which is one his reasons for opposing the JCPOA.
