Yeah, right, talking never yields any results. Sure. Especially when you never try it.
Obama should just quit right here because all this talking is just going to delay the war effort. Iraq -- check. Afghanistan -- check. Iran -- still negotiating?!? What the...?! Come on, we've got a schedule to keep here, people! The Middle East isn't going to democratize itself, you know!
Obama owns Bush-Cheney on Iran
October 2, 2009 JuanCole.com
Delegates of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany met with representatives of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for 7 and a half hours on Thursday for talks on Iran's nuclear research program.
Amazingly, there were signs of significant progress even on the first day, which most seasoned observers had not expected.
1. Iran agreed to allow inspectors from the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency to visit the newly announced facility near Qom within the next two months.
2. Iran agreed to meet again at the end of October.
3. Iran agreed to send "most" of its stock of low enriched uranium (3.5%) to Russia for processing to the roughly 20% degree of enrichment needed to run its small reactor producing medical isotopes. Iran has about 3200 pounds of low-enriched uranium, and is willing to send 2600 to Russia. That is a little over a ton, or about what a single Ford Focus weighs.
