Nuclear Talks with Iran Collapse

Two days of talks between Iran and the P5+1 in Istanbul, intended to curb Iran's nuclear development program, collapsed today, although their failure probably took no one, other than her Hideousness, Catherine Ashton, by surprise. This past November, Ashton characterized the talks as "a very important development" (http://jgcaesarea.blogspot.com/2010/11/her-hideousness-catherine-ashton.html).

Following termination of the talks in Istanbul, Ashton stated:

"Our proposals remain on the table. Our door remains open. Our telephone lines remain open."

Thanks, Catherine, for informing us that everything remains open -- all very encouraging. Now if you can only keep your mouth shut and spare us your drivel.
