I was told to watch out for some event that would scuttle the Nuclear talks with Iran so that their failure would not be blamed on Obama administration incompetence.

The Pentagon is sending a U.S. aircraft carrier to waters around Yemen, following Iran's deployment of seven to nine ships, some carrying weapons.
The U.S. is sending the USS Theodore Roosevelt and at least one destroyer to the Gulf of Aden, said Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren.
The Pentagon also said reports that the carrier will intercept Iranian ships carrying weapons is not true.
"Certainly it's going there because of Yemeni instability, but it's not going there to intercept any ships," said Warren.
