The Hill: 5 key demands US dropped in Iran talks
The framework deal on Iran's nuclear program has come under heavy scrutiny as the Obama administration seeks to sell the agreement to skeptical lawmakers.
Many of the terms mark a shift from President Obama's stated goals at the start of negotiations 18 months ago.
Democrats and the White House say those changes are the result of tough negotiations and are calling for time to allow diplomats to finalize the accord.
But Republican critics say the administration made concessions that go too far and secured little in return.
Here are five areas where the administration shifted course during negotiations:
WNU Editor: It has been hard to cover these talks because of the secrecy behind it .... but with time more information is being leaked or publicized .... and by the looks of it the U.S. dropped almost all of their key demands ....
1. Banning uranium enrichment
2. Capping centrifuges at 1,500
3. Shuttering secret nuclear facilities
4. Ending Iran's ballistic missile program
5. Finalizing a 20-year deal

That's why it's called negotiating. The "alternatives", such as they are, proffered by the maniac neo-con/Israel/GOP front are a take it or leave it diktat to the Persians.
Complete disarmament , regime change, subjugation to every US/Israel whim in the region. No country would every submit to that.
Obama/Kerry are the grown-ups in the room dealing with real world issues. The maniac right act as petulant children, content to snipe from the sidelines, accepting no responsibility for their actions. Just another cudgel they can use to attack a black president they hate more than they love their country.
Blanket-statement much?
Any experience in Middle East affairs?
Yes but with Thicker Knee Pads!!

Don't need any. People are the same all over the world.
Human nature being what it is, you piss on someone's back and call it rain, they're bound to tell you to go jump in a lake. Persians aren't any different.
Is that blanket enough for you?
People are the same all over the world.
I know I married a a so called communist.
And since people are the same all over the world you have to allow for their being evil people here and there around the world too.
You would have to allow for evil groups of people here and there.
With people like Khamanei and Anonymous, Sky net looks appealing by comparison.
