What were their terms, "surrender"?


Dope: Give up their nuclear weapons program, the one they always claimed to never have.

No. There were 10 points - you always lead with more than you want so you have things to give away. I always cut to the chase. And they've had the ability to proceed to nuclear weapons for a while, why didn't they?

He also claims two USN ships sailed through the Strait to start mine clearance. Except the two ships named are Burke class DDGs, not minesweepers.

Dope: They sailed in, they sailed out. The next phase the Navy works on is clearing a mine-free channel.
