"It'll be interesting to see what somebody like a Rand Paul has to say about this," said President Obama, referring to the Vienna accord between Iran and the P5+1 powers. In an interview with New York Times columnist Tom Friedman, Obama averred:"I think that if I were succeeded by a Republican president — and I'll be doing everything that I can to prevent that from happening — but if I were, that Republican president would be in a much stronger position than I was when I came into office, in terms of constraining Iran's nuclear program." Obama added.

Paul broke the suspense a few hours later. And, to be sure, it wasn't very interesting – at least not in the way the President thought it might be.

In a brief statement posted on his Facebook page, "libertarian-ish" GOP presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) has come out against the recently signed accord between the P5+1 and Iran, which would restrict Iran's nuclear program to peaceful uses of nuclear power.
