Ironfisted rule and boldfaced lies with us, the American citizenry; but when it comes to the Iranian regime, a handshake and a smile (maybe even a bow). I wish Obama and his administration were as eager to compromise with US!PowerLine: The Washington Post reports:
A deal that would give Iran limited relief from economic sanctions in exchange for a temporary freeze of some of its nuclear activities was near completion late Thursday, and Secretary of State John F. Kerry was preparing to fly to Geneva on Friday morning for a likely announcement.As Jonathan Tobin reminds us, this deal is contrary to what the Obama administration promised when it entered into negotiations:
The president and Secretary of State John Kerry promised that there would be no move to dismantle the economic sanctions that had been implemented against the Islamist regime for anything short of an agreement that would end Tehran’s nuclear threat.The “temporary freeze of some of [Iran's] nuclear activities” that Kerry apparently has negotiated comes nowhere close to ending Iran’s nuclear threat. Yet, sanctions will be cut back.

UPDATES: On Monday, Kerry claimed that Iran walked away from a nuke deal; however, Tehran says otherwise. Meanwhile, the Israelis are learning that Obama lied to them about details on the nuke deal with Iran. Welcome to our world!
