IRAN LATEST – AT 9:08 A.M. ET:  The Iran nuclear talks in Switzerland are in overtime, you know, just like your average labor negotiation.  (I guess we'll find out in the morning if the trains are running.)  Clearly there are obstacles.  We are talking about risking the lives of millions of people, and look at that farce.  From the Washington Post: 

LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Negotiators scrambling to chart Iran’s nuclear future said Wednesday that several “key issues” remain unresolved, casting doubt on earlier, more optimistic predictions that an agreement was ready to be drafted.

British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said progress has been made but characterized it as “slow going.”

“I’m optimistic that we will make further progress this morning, but it does mean the Iranians being willing to meet us where there are still issues to deal with,” he told reporters. “Fingers crossed and we’ll hope to get there during the course of the day.”

That contrasted with remarks by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov after talks broke off in the overnight hours early Wednesday. He said an understanding had been reached on all the major sticking points.

“I think we have a broad framework of understanding, but there are still some key issues that have to be worked through,” he said. “Some of them are quite detailed and technical, so there is still quite a lot of work to do, but we are on it now and we’ll keep going at it.”

COMMENT:  The only way an agreement can be reached is for the United States to cave in, which we may well do.  It's been widely noted that Barack Obama wants an agreement more than the Iranians do, although they need it more.

Obama wants his legacy on the left, and his legacy within Islam.
