"Iran Backs Away From Key Detail in Nuclear Deal"

"Iranian officials on Sunday backed away from a critical element of a proposed nuclear agreement, saying they are no longer willing to ship their atomic fuel out of the country."
For months, Iran tentatively agreed that it would send a large portion of its stockpile of uranium to Russia, where it would not be accessible for use in any future weapons program. But on Sunday Iran’s deputy foreign minister made a surprise comment to Iranian reporters, ruling out an agreement that involved giving up a stockpile that Iran has spent years and billions of dollars to amass.

“The export of stocks of enriched uranium is not in our program, and we do not intend sending them abroad,” the official, Abbas Araqchi, told the Iranian media, according to Agence France-Presse. “There is no question of sending the stocks abroad.”

On second thought, we are going to hold on to the stockpile.

How long will it take Lurch to cave on this one?

WV - "refig" what Adam and Eve did after the second time.

PS Who's the 60s throwback next to Lurch?

Too much foreign material shot into his face with a needle.

Is Lurch the first person to have play doh injected into his face? If so, then doh!

I didn't read the article, but who's the dude to the left? He could use a hair cut.

That's an absolutely classic 1950s British Housewife haircut.

One thing Lurch can't change...he has no lips, none. Always has looked like a lizard...I wonder if you watch closely you can see his forked tongue flip out and back occasionally?

I think the idea might be to let the Iranians think they're winning, and to play for time, anticipating that somebody will eventually invent a giant sponge that'll soak up nuclear explosions.

Lurch looks like Mr. Potato Head without the accessories.

The filth Kerry told a reporter, Laura Rozen, that "An Iran deal is possible, Inshallah." Case you didn't know that means if Allah wills it. Get it? The Secretary of State of the United States is in full dhimmi mode. So stop congratulating yourself that it can't happen here. It IS happening here.

This country is being run into the ground by total and absolute fucking morons. The level of theft, corruption, and debauchery these politico's have engaged in, in the name of the USA, should be met with them being put on the wall without a blindfold or a cigarette. We are watching our national suicide in slow motion and these fools are the actors in this play and all we care about is the next football season, what's on tv, and who the latest celebrity whore is going to be as these marxist fanatics sell us out. Bread and circus is what this country is now.

The guy with the 1950s British housewife hair is the U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz.
