Barack Obama's policy on brink of collapse as Tehran does last-minute nuclear stall

President Obama's policy of diplomatic engagement with Iran is close to collapse as Tehran backtracks on a crucial deal aimed at cutting its stockpiles of nuclear fuel.

Tehran's latest move comes straight from a well-thumbed Iranian playbook and looks like yet another stalling tactic to test the West's resolve and buy time to avert new sanctions.

The comedian Ron White said, “You can’t fix stupid.”

The General in New Orleans said, “Don’t get stuck on stupid.”

Both quotes apply to Obama.

I’m surprised that you would think anyone here would be surprised. I was getting rather disgusted with Bush’s approach to Iran, but this is turning into late 30’s era umbrella diplomacy...either that or the inevitable result of it.

Boy that Obama is one cool ivy league communist democrat dude who allows America's enemies to get stronger and stronger. So glad he got that Norwegian Peace Prize. That really impressed the Iranians to drop their nuclear ambitions. Wow, those globull left wingers are so smart. I'm so impressed. /s

This is above Barry’s paygrade......but then again, he and Hillary have already accepted Iran as a nuclear fact.
