Obama: At Least We Haven't Given Away Anything to Iran

As reported by Reuters (http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/04/15/us-usa-obama-iran-idUKBRE83E0KI20120415), Obama has declared from Cartagena, Colombia that there will be additional sanctions if no progress results from negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. Obama added:

"But so far at least we haven't given away anything."

However, this is not what we hear from Istanbul. The P5 + 1, under the "able" supervision of Catherine Ashton, is said to have agreed to continued Iranian uranium enrichment activities and is not demanding that Iran's Fordo underground nuclear facility be dismantled (see: http://jgcaesarea.blogspot.com/2012/04/irans-saeed-jalili-tehran-doesnt-intend.html). And meanwhile, Iran was given another month and a half, until the next meeting in Baghdad, to further its nuclear ambitions without additional impediment.

While Iran stalls for time to achieve the capacity to build an atomic bomb, Obama stalls for time to avoid a nasty confrontation prior to November.

A confluence of interests if ever there was one . . .
