With the Iran nuclear talks now in their endgame and the prospect of a very different political environment in Washington next year if Republicans capture the Senate, Obama officials are in overdrive to achieve their dream of a legacy agreement with Tehran so that President Obama can claim he halted the threat from the Iranian nuclear program. Their goal is to get a final agreement before the nuclear talks are scheduled to end November 24.
While the Obama administration has long been desperate to get such an agreement, two recent ill-advised American concessions and a string of misleading statements and proposals demonstrate how far the White House is willing to go and why it is vital that Congress denounce on a bipartisan basis the nuclear talks and a possible final agreement .
Two weeks ago, the United States floated a proposal to let Iran keep all of its 19,000 centrifuge machines, which Tehran is using to enrich uranium to reactor grade as long as all but 1,500 are “disconnected” and cease enriching uranium. This proposal alarmed many experts because Iran could quickly begin enriching uranium to weapons grade by reconnecting all of its centrifuges.
As generous as this offer was, it apparently did not go far enough for Tehran. The Associated Press reported on September 25 that U.S. diplomats have proposed letting Iran operate up to 4,500 centrifuges if its stockpile of enriched uranium gas is converted to uranium “powder.” This proposal rests on the assumption that such an arrangement would give the international community plenty of time to react to an Iranian “dash” toward constructing a nuclear weapon because it would take over a year for Iran to re-convert low-enriched powder into uranium gas for further enrichment to weapons-grade uranium.
The assumption behind this proposal is false.

The Obamatollah is getting desperate.
Only 27 more months to give it all away and complete his destruction of The Great Satan
All I know is Bibi had better not inform Barack before Israel hits Iran!
If this is a treaty, we can stop it. Unfortunately, I never count the GOP in our corner. It takes 2/3 to consent btw. So, I am hard pressed to find 34 actual patriots left.
So, the question arises again, is he more pro-Sunni, or more pro-Shiite?
His efforts to support a Caliphate, even if the ISIS maniacs aren’t the preferred vehicle, is Sunni. So is his previously warm relations with Erdogan, and his support (and incorporation into US government) of the MB.
On the other hand, ValJar was raised in Iran. Supposedly she’s more communist than Muslim, but who knows? An Arabic Bomb owned by Iran would be a pro-Shiite outcome. They would be unlikely to share it.
Sometimes I think he loves a bunch of weird but inconsistent things (like Reggie Love and Michelle): Islam, Communism, Black racism, LGBTQ, and thinks that he’s the best interpreter of all of them. Maybe he thinks that the whole Muslim world—SUnni and Shiite—will see his greatness, stop fighting, and unite under his tutelage.
That would be narcissistic and megomaniacal, wouldn’t it?
Correct. Better to ask for forgiveness than to beg for permission.
We have either a full blown muzzie or at least a sympathizer running (and ruining) the country.
Yep! I swear I’m beginning to think he’s the Antichrist.
RE: All I know is Bibi had better not inform Barack before Israel hits Iran!
Somebody remind me... but I distinctly remember Israel NOT informing the USA when they destroyed the Iraq Osirak Nuclear reactor in 1981 under Saddam Hussein.
They were loudly condemned ( even by us ) for doing that... but everyone secretly heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Smells of Jarrett.
