I always believed the Iran nuke negotiations were fraudulent, a diversionary ruse meant to manufacture a way for Obama to back down with honor from his claim to never let Iran go nuclear - but I never expected them to admit to this - yet, there ya go, Kerry says right out loud that it seems the whole point of the negotiations is to push Iran's breakout capability from two months to six months - well, that should deter them - sort of like telling the person who's broken into your house that if they don't behave instead of waiting ten minutes to call the police you're only gonna wait five, and then do it with a really angry voice. I mean, c'mon. Kerry's rationalization seems to be that the longer breakout time [which there's no reason to believe would even be legitimate] would allow time for Obama to respond to any breakout effort by Iran [again assuming we would even know something like that for sure] in a very forceful way. Does anyone believe that would mean anything other than an attempt to reconstitute the sanctions regime? And isn't everything Iran is doing based on that calculation and its belief that it would be hard if not impossible to bring back the sanctions and make them stick? Ya just wanna hang your head and cry.
