Obama Offers to Let Iran Run Three Times as Many Nuke Centrifuges

No Drama Obama. He gets all worked up when Jews move into Jerusalem, but he’s willing to let a few thousand centrifuges slip by him.
This is a man with his priorities in order. And by priorities, I mean destroying Israel.
The Obama administration has sweetened its offer to Iran in ongoing nuclear negotiations, saying it might accept Tehran operating 4,000 centrifuges, up from the previous 1,300, according to a semiofficial Iranian news agency.
Mehr’s account quotes conservative Iranian lawmaker Javad Qoddoushi, a member of the parliament’s foreign affairs committee, which was briefed last weekend by Abbas Araqchi, a deputy foreign minister and nuclear negotiator.
The article doesn’t specify when the administration unveiled its latest offer on centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes but also potentially for nuclear weapons. It may have come last Wednesday, when U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry met in Vienna with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton to try to end a five-month impasse in the talks.
The White House and State Department declined to comment.
Considering how State rushes to deny even true stories, that’s as good as a concession. But we know where this was heading. The negotiations were never more than a ploy to cripple Israeli action and American Jewish protests by playing a delaying game to let Iran get the bomb.
Obama lost in Egypt. But he’s determined to let Iran go nuclear.
