Of Course: Iran Makes Another Last-Minute Demand, West Looking to Achieve 'Narrative'
Townhall ^ | Mar 30, 2015 | Guy Benson

Posted on 03/30/2015 2:48:10 PM PDT by george76

The 'P5+1' nuclear negotiations with Iran are coming down to the wire, with the Obama administration hellbent on attaining a deal before tomorrow's deadline (which Iran doesn't acknowledge, by the way). As Conn has reported, if an agreement is reached, it likely won't be formalized or written down for a period of months. What Western diplomats are scrambling to "achieve," therefore, is an informal consensus on the principles and outlines of a deal -- struck with an evil, untrustworthy regime. The British Foreign Minister told reporters last week that they're hoping to secure a "narrative," whatever that means:

We envisage being able to deliver a narrative. Whether that is written down or not, I don’t think is the crucial issue

...

With a negotiating deadline just two days away, Iranian officials on Sunday backed away from a critical element of a proposed nuclear agreement, saying they are no longer willing to ship their atomic fuel out of the country.

...

Ignore the merits. Ignore Iran's prior conduct and uniquely sinister role in world politics. Ignore the national security and geopolitical implications. Ignore Iran's ongoing "death to America" refrain. Focus on beating the Republicans. This is breathtakingly petty, partisan and reckless, even for them. Good Lord.

Here my narrative with Iran:

"You do what we tell you or we'll nuke you camel-humpers until you glow."

By the time these fools are done negotiating, Iran will already have the bomb, if they don’t already.

Obama wants his legacy to be the destruction of Israel, the creation of a Greater Caliphate, and the death or subjugation of as many infidels as possible.

If we had a real man for president, that would be the narrative.

Of course, if we had a tough guy like President Reagan, there would be no “narrative.” He would just send the bombs.

Iranian's know how to negotiate. When he's out of office, can't wait to see what they charge Michelle for carpets.

a "narrative," whatever that means

A narrative is a story. Obviously, what they want is a good-sounding fiction.
