Thomas Joscelyn gives us the reason why Bush can breezily accede to this gibberish about letting Russia work with Iran on its nuclear programs. Quoting the Iranians in this New York Times article:
Kazem Jalali, the "spokesman for Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission," explains:Joscelyn then asks (with his emphasis):
"Russia's proposal is still very vague, but we cannot accept it if does not allow us to enrich uranium inside Iran. We will continue the negotiations with the Russians but it should be a partnership inside Iran."
"Having the fuel cycle inside the country is our red line, and we cannot compromise over our national interests."
Got that? Having the fuel cycle inside Iran is their red line. Their red line.Why, a few Nobel Peace Prize laureates, that's who!
Who's in charge here?
The Iranians have absolutely no intention of following through on this. If the usual Leftist dickheads can't see that and can't see that eocnomic sanctions ---especially those administered by the "international community"--- are less than worthless, then they have forfeited their right to be taken seriously on any subject ever again.
