Just so everyone understands: this document is not Obama's attempt to impose restraints on Iran. Rather, it is his attempt to impose restraints on The United States, and of course the Hated Jewish State of Israel.
Obama's real goal throughout this process has been to deliver Iran 8 unimpeded years of bomb research on his watch, and then bind the hands of his successor to guarantee Iran another 8-12+ years as well.
This entire process is designed to legitimize Iran's nuclear program so that the United States (and Israel) will be restrained from attacking Iran's bomb sites. As usual, then, Obama's efforts are not directed towards safeguarding the US, but rather safeguarding the US' enemies, which are of course his allies.
The Obama administration is giving in to Iranian demands about the scope of its nuclear program as negotiators work to finalize a framework agreement in the coming days, according to sources familiar with the administration’s position in the negotiations.
U.S. negotiators are said to have given up ground on demands that Iran be forced to disclose the full range of its nuclear activities at the outset of a nuclear deal, a concession experts say would gut the verification the Obama administration has vowed would stand as the crux of a deal with Iran.
With the White House pressing to finalize a deal, U.S. diplomats have moved further away from their demands that Iran be subjected to oversight over its nuclear infrastructure.
"Instead of ensuring that Iran answers all the outstanding questions about the past and current military dimensions of their nuclear work in order to obtain sanctions relief, the U.S. is now revising down what they need to do," said the source.
"That is a terrible mistake--if we don’t have a baseline to judge their past work, we can’t tell if they are cheating in the future, and if they won't answer now, before getting rewarded, why would they come clean in the future?"
