Howard Dean: Yeah, It's Time to Walk Away From the Iran Negotiations

http://townhall.com/...ations-n1979430

He counsels the American delegation to pack up and leave, and perhaps return to the table at a later date when additional pressure has been ratcheted up against the regime. Here's where things stand at last report: Top negotiators from several countries have departed Switzerland, despite the US' insistence that talks continue past yesterday's deadline. Because the rate of progress is "slow going," according to the British Foreign Minister, this is the farcical readjustment of expectations bleeding out of the negotiations:

"Negotiators have:

a tentative agreement

on the rough outline

of a possible public statement

on the progress they have made so far that would also highlight areas of disagreement, diplomats close to the talks said."

(Folks, that is pure comedy gold right there.)

Not a dark April Fool's joke, I'm afraid. They've spilled past the twice-delayed deadline, and they might have a "tentative agreement on the rough outline of a possible public statement" to show for their efforts. Why are people like the French, Howard Dean and Leon Panetta so dubious of the emergence a good deal at this stage? Because Iran's regime is run by deeply untrustworthy, terrorist-facilitating, anti-Semitic, anti-American fanatics and liars.

But we can trust this administration to keep them in check or so we've been told by the smart people here and elsewhere.

And it's not a legally binding agreement has has no enforcement capability. It will look good hanging on the wall of a retired politician and provides another chapter in his book that will sell poorly.
