#1 So the Mad Mullahs get to continue their nuke program while keeping Obummer and his little puppy dog Kerry busy in Switzerland. There was never any stick at the end of the carrot and the Iranians knew it. Oh well, I'm sure Kerry's hotel is five star luxury.

#2 the president told his representatives in Lausanne to tell Iran they indeed would "walk way" and leave sanctions in place

Bwahahahahahah!! ROFL stop it you're killing me. Obola sounds like he's auditioning for the Daily Show's host job.

Now I'm going to cringe as this deserves.

What are the better odds A) full scale war in the Mid East before Barry leaves office; or B) Continual disintegration of any vestige of Civilization between Israel & India?

#3 Maybe the ONE will get frustrated and in a snit and bomb them. He does have trouble with people who don't agree with him--he tends to be vindictive.

#4 The great thing for Iran here is that it is impossible to overplay their hand. If they say jump, Champ jumps.

#5 "I am pleased to announce that we have reached an understanding of a framework upon which future frank discussions and plans will be based toward a demarche mutually agreeable to both sides and which will lead to regional stabilization under cooperation by all parties. The table will be rectangular, the dimensions of which are still under development. Based upon that progress, all sanctions will be immediately lifted"

#6 I'll suggest that from Iran's perspective this isn't about their nuclear program - nobody is threatening them with nukes - it is about getting the sanctions lifted, Then an Iran once more flush with cash can ramp up its proxy wars in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, etc. and march on to Shiia dominance of the muslim Middle East.

#7 From Iran's perspective, possession of nukes will give their oligarchy a grip on power that will be very difficult to break, regardless of the downward demographic spiral the Iranian population is in.
