National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster said Thursday he knows what the President’s decision will be on the Iran nuclear deal, but only revealed that the President plans to take a broader approach to Iran’s “destabilizing behavior.”

Appearing on CNN’s “New Day” Thursday, McMaster stopped short of saying whether Trump plans to pull out of the 2015 multi-nation deal that limits Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear arsenal in exchange for lifting sanctions against the country, but called the agreement “fundamentally flawed.”

President Donald Trump said this week he has made a decision about the deal, but hasn’t said whether he will pull out.

“The deal is fundamentally flawed. As the President said, he called it the ‘worst deal of all-time.’ It gave the Iranian regime all the benefits up front and then the incompleteness of the deal, the flaws of the deal, the sunset clause that could really give this regime who is not trustworthy, obviously, cover to advance a nuclear program and have a threshold capability,” he said.

1. "holistic" as in it's full of holes?

If he handles this like he has been badly bungling North Korea, then we are in for a very destabilized world ahead.

3. Not one person in this fascist administration is sane or has our interests at heart.

It's all war, destruction, hate, stealing everything from the poor and working class, and giving to Drumpf and themselves. McMasters and Kelly aren't the sane people chosen by Drumpf, they are part and parcel of the criminal frauds and thieves, chosen for their willingness to do whatever Drumpf says, regardless of the results.

4. McMaster is as bad as Trump. He should be embarrassed to parrot Trump's idiotic words.

6. yes, when McMaster parrots trump, I give him no credibility at all.

5. We're going to offer them hot stone massages...

And herbal enemas.

That would actually be more effective than any "holistic" idea Trump would have.
