How to use flawed in a sentence?
The nuclear agreement announced by the Obama administration today is a dangerous, deeply flawed, and short sighted deal, based on initial reports and analysis, it appears this agreement does not 'cut off all of Iran's pathways to a nuclear weapon' -- in fact, over time, it paves Iran's path to a bomb. Most of the key restrictions last for only 10 to 15 years. Even before the deal expires, it could allow Iran to develop an industrial-scale enrichment program and continue its RD on advanced centrifuges and development of an ICBM.
