Iran-US: President Rouhani declined to meet with the US President because of Iranian domestic political considerations.
Comment: The significance is that the Iranian snubbed the American before the American reportedly decided whether to meet the Iranian. This resonates little in the US, but in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, this is a bold action.
The image of the soft-spoken, conciliatory Iranian president who had no time for the American president conveys the illusion of a shift in strategic polarity. The imagery is an illusion, but Iran won the propaganda advantage.
It is typical of the Persians who consider themselves the superiors of any Westerners or Arabs by dint of longevity and history.
Syria-UN: Syria's disclosures to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) reportedly have exceeded US government expectations. However, they are consistent with the statements by Syrian President Asad. Unidentified US officials have described the Syrian list as surprisingly complete.
Comment: The Syrian disclosures, as described by US officials, suggest that Syrian chemical weapons have remained under strict military control, which is what Asad said. If that proves to be the case, the burden of proof shifts to the rebels.
Obama has been had by another foreign leader. So what's new?
Punch to the groin - except there isn’t anything there subject to hurt.
Even the Iranians think the Current Occupant now squatting in the White Hut is a sissy boy. They really want to be in negotiations with the REAL power in the White Hut - Valerie Jarrett.
Obama is a diplomatic moron.
Why meet with a cry baby?

Putin laughs his Russian ass off.
Putin to President Rouhani: See I told you how easy it was! Oh, I'm laughing so hard my sides are hurting!
Putin to President Rouhani: Tell them you want to "reset the button" but don't do it! Leave Obama hanging out to dry. I tell you, its easy!
Well, he does like a stiff one.
Well they are superior to Arabs
who knew? the Iranians have standards
their leadership refuses to provide barry with a sideshow to cover his foreign policy incompetence
