Take the deal, Mr. President

In order to become one of the policy makers in DC, you have to fail psychology 101 and be barking mad.
Turkey and Brazil put together a package for Iran to ship 65% of their stock of low enriched uranium out of the country, just what America said they wanted them to do last fall. America’s response? “They are only doing this to stop new sanctions, so of course we can’t agree to that trick.”

It looks like the war party has captured President Obama. His administration has now shifted the goal posts again and says it will only talk to Iran if they agree to stop enriching uranium as fuel for nuclear reactors. No matter that they are allowed to do that under the NPT and IAEA inspectors can insure that the uranium is not diverted.

So it looks like we may go to war to prevent Iran from making replacement fuel for their American reactor that makes essential items for medical use. If we just allowed Iran to use their uranium for peaceful purposes there wouldn't be any sitting there to make weapons. As Pat Buchanan says
