US Reportedly Backed Down On Initial Goals In Iran Talks April 03, 2015
U.S. negotiators reportedly lowered the bar for their own goals during talks over Iran's nuclear program in response to resistance from the Tehran team. And, on the heels of a framework deal being announced in Switzerland, France's top diplomat on Friday admitted his country had initially held out for firmer terms.
The emerging reports indicate the U.S. team, led by Secretary of State John Kerry, gradually backed down over the course of the talks as Iran's delegation dug in. The Wall Street Journal, citing current and former U.S. representatives at the discussions, claimed the White House had initially hoped to persuade Iran to dismantle much of the country's nuclear infrastructure when talks started in late 2013, only to be told categorically that Iran would not do so.
The Journal reported that one Iranian diplomat called the nuclear program "our moon shot," comparing it to the U.S. space program in the 1960s as a symbol of national pride and advancement. From that point, the Journal reports, the U.S. accepted that any possible deal would likely enable Iran to continue to enrich some uranium to produce nuclear fuel and turned their focus to extending Iran's so-called "breakout time" or the minimum period that Iran would need to build a nuclear weapon.

Of course.
Exactly what everyone expected.
Unfortunately everyone expects Congress to do nothing to stop it either.
Mais oui!
The French have more backbone and common sense than Emir Obozzo.
Hanoi John Kerry the traitor is consistent. He ALWAYS sides against the US.
If it embarrasses America, THEY DO IT. I’m surprised James Taylor didn’t show up and sing a love song.
Obama wants the Sanctions removed from Iran even if he has to commit Seppuku
The cheese eating surrender monkeys make Obama/Kerry look weak
If Obama has to leave the White House ,his next Job is President Of Islam ?
He’s impatient to receive his Nobel Prize! :)
He couldn’t do anything worthwhile to earn one... so he perfected his traitorous ‘I hate America’ shtick’... we’ll see how long it takes for him to get his ‘prize’.
Then his family can start building the bunker where he’ll be buried... cause when it’s found out... his grave will become a latrine!
Does he plan to throw his “Nobel Peace Prize” over the White Mosque fence?
Nobody will ever trust America again and I don't blame them.
The horse-faced Hanoi Boi has always been good at bending over and dropping his drawers. He really doesn’t possess many American values.
The goal of the negotiation was NEVER to prevent Iran from getting the bomb. The goal was to get any agreement necessary to make the clown in the White House look like a statesman. In short, domestic political consumption. In achieving such a goal this administration has endangered the USA and Israel.
LOL. Did you hear the same presser I did?
“Negotiations” implies that there is some give-and-take.
When all you are doing is giving, and all the other side is doing is taking, that’s called “Getting Robbed”.
But, rest easy, no money from Kerry or Obama was involved.
Initially? Whatever, who believes the French ever hold out for anything? lol
John Boehner is America’s Enemy
John Boehner is a Liar
John Boehner thinks he is Smarter then those he represents
John Boehner is a walking Contridiction
John Boehner is Compromised
John Boehner is a Criminal
prove me wrong.
Iran will get the bomb and millions of people will die all so a traitor by the name of John Kerry can get the Nobel peace prize so he can get air kisses from plastic surgery deformed women at cocktail parties and slaps on the back from assturds at the local polo club.
You forgot Boehner is a drunk. As a recovering alcoholic myself I can spot a boozer face a mile away. This is what we got repping us, a freakin’ bum.
