SCARY, BUT EXPECTED – AT 10:21 A.M. ET:  What can you expect, with Obama in the White House?  From USA Today: 

The emerging deal with Iran over its nuclear program is unlikely to satisfy members of Congress who seek to end Iran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon.

U.S. diplomats met Wednesday in Vienna with Iran and other world powers to begin writing the text of a final deal. Though the sides remain far apart on several issues, the Obama administration may allow an Iranian nuclear program that retains the capabilities to produce a weapon.

I think Obama carries a photo of Neville Chamberlain in a locket.

"The Iranians will have some kind of (uranium) enrichment capacity" at the end of negotiations, said Mark Dubowitz, executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies who has advised the administration on Iran sanctions.

Jofi Joseph, former director for non-proliferation in Obama's national security council, said any deal would increase inspections and monitoring, along with the number of inspectors in Iran and the number of places they can go. "Those would significantly reduce the chance of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon," Joseph said.

The talks are being coordinated by European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton. Her spokesman, Michael Mann, said Wednesday that parties were "getting down to the nitty-gritty." The talks will continue until Friday, the Associated Press reported. An interim agreement reached in November set a target date of July 20 for a deal.

Obama has said repeatedly that an Iranian nuclear bomb is "unacceptable."

Iran, which backs several terrorist organizations in the Middle East, has the world's fourth-largest oil reserves and second-largest natural gas reserves. Yet Iran's leaders say its nuclear program is for power generation and medical and scientific research, a claim the United Nations' nuclear watchdog agency has questioned.

COMMENT:  Iran will get the better part of the bargain...and of course we don't know what part of their nuclear program is actually hidden.

We should be gravely concerned.  Obama wants an agreement, and his sympathies for Muslim regimes are fairly obvious.  Condi Rice was ridiculed when she warned of a mushroom cloud over Atlanta.  We have no reason to laugh.
