    Original quote
    He needs to be able to say at the end of this process that we have done what is necessary to make sure that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. If that means we have to get our hands on the fissile material, that's what that means if it means that we can declare with credibility that we have destroyed every possible way for Iran to restart its nuclear program and that whatever is there is buried forever and that they'll never be able to build another centrifuge or whatever. Maybe that'll be it, but until he gets there, he is not done.
