EU's foreign affairs mucky muck Ashton suggests we extend negotiations with Iran another six months even though the originally intended six month negotiations period hasn't even begun yet - in other words Ashton, a big sitter at the big table of Western representatives involved in this farce, has declared defeat before the start of actions ostensibly designed to take defeat off the table have even made an appearance. Seems to me this incoherent idiocy makes clear what has actually been obvious for awhile: that these negotiations are a charade intended to keep Israel on a leash in event they're actually serious about acting unilaterally to stop Iran and as well to protect the reputations of Western leaders who are looking quite hopelessly lost and ineffectual at the moment; or that these Western leaders have somehow against all sense and reason managed to convince themselves that they are indeed involved in substantive debate with rational players who respect the West's intentions here and do not at all view these leaders as hopelessly lost and ineffectual buffoons mired in a besotted weakness of their own pathetically misguided making.
I've always believed this farce to be more about the first interpretation than the second - but Ashton's willingness to make such a foolish statement without any apparent sense of just how awfully foolish it was does seem to open up possibly that this is just a case of these people being remarkably misguided idiots.
