Written by someone who thinks Iran would WANT ‘concessions’ from the US. I recommend Hooman Majd’s The Ayatollah Begs To Differ: The Paradox of Modern Iran.

He wanted to be able to show that he was the one who could make the U.S. connection and win concessions from President Obama.”

Note the confident assumption that somebody will get concessions from Obama. It's just an argument over who gets to get the credit for punking Barry.

The Israelis know that President Obama will do nothing about the threat that Iran poses, so the Israelis are taking matters into their own hands. For better or worse the Israelis now know they are on their own.

In exchange, he said that Ahmadinejad would tone down his anti-Israeli rhetoric, and stop making statements about wiping Israel off the map.

So they want to offer "shutting Imanutjob up" - at least that is, until they're ready to nuke Israel.

Look for Obama to jump on this deal!
