Well, that only lasted a few weeks …
Obama, March 8:
“Over the next month or so,” Obama said, “we’re going to be able to determine whether or not their system is able to accept what would be an extraordinarily reasonable deal, if, in fact, as they say, they are only interested in peaceful nuclear programs. And if we have unprecedented transparency in that system, if we are able to verify that, in fact, they are not developing weapons systems, then there’s a deal to be had. But that’s going to require them to accept the kind of verification and constraints on their program that so far, at least, they have not been willing to say yes to.”

LAUSSANE, Switzerland—The Obama administration is giving in to Iranian demands about the scope of its nuclear program as negotiators work to finalize a framework agreement in the coming days, according to sources familiar with the administration’s position in the negotiations.
U.S. negotiators are said to have given up ground on demands that Iran be forced to disclose the full range of its nuclear activities at the outset of a nuclear deal, a concession experts say would gut the verification the Obama administration has vowed would stand as the crux of a deal with Iran. […]
This type of concession would allow Iran to continue work related to its nuclear weapons program, even under the eye of international inspectors. If Iran removes inspectors—as it has in the past—it would be left with a nuclear infrastructure immune from a strike by Western forces.
“Once again, in the face of Iran’s intransigence, the U.S. is leading an effort to cave even more toward Iran—this time by whitewashing Tehran’s decades of lying about nuclear weapons work and current lack of cooperation with the [International Atomic Energy Agency],” said one Western source briefed on the talks but who was not permitted to speak on record.
With the White House pressing to finalize a deal, U.S. diplomats have moved further away from their demands that Iran be subjected to oversight over its nuclear infrastructure.

Obviously this is a big middle finger to Israel, but it’s also a big middle finger to the vast majority of Americans who support that country and its right to exist. It is destruction; it is nihilism for as long as he is in office.
God help us.
ach, no, not nihilism Shermlaw. ClownDisaster doles out the just punishment the United States has so long earned and deserved. It’s merely that the great unwashed have difficulty adjusting themselves to his most high vision, is all. And ever will, we would expect him to say, as even a proof of the justice of his aims.
With any luck they will blow themselves up.
Kerry state department will be sure to send their condolences to the families of those engineer who died while working on a brighter future for their country.
I wonder what Admiral Painter thinks about all this?

I was out for a burger just now and saw a hipster wearing a t-shirt that says ” Scopa Galaxia!” in a Starwars font, with a leather vest.
That’s imperative singular of broom/sweep, which was slang for bang, screw, knock boots, etc. Essentially it’s “Eff the galaxy!” delivered as a command.
Toned down punk rock for sheltered A/V trained rich kids w/ an ironic sci-fi tinge to it? Is that a thing now?
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows, anything goes
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words writing prose
Anything goes.
The world has gone mad today
And good’s bad today
And black’s white today
And day’s night today….
