Kerry went there for the closing. After he heard that a lot of progress had been made. On the French requirements. Think "photo-op." He gets the credit for being there, mostly. He'd have been happy with much less. Much less.


It's a short-term deal. Notice that the current horrible situation as of last week followed, by years, a much longer deal. Proof that all that's needed is a deal for immediate happy thoughts all around.

This may actually reduce the stockpile. It may not. We'll see, I guess. Faith is nice, but facts are awesome.


Capping enrichment at 20% is an odd requirement. Until all they want is already at 20%, it's not much of a cap. If they have all they want at 20% already, it's not much of a cap. Unless accompanied by a "no more enriching of anything for you" requirement that I've overlooked.


Even the sanctions that were so important apparently only began according to many, it would seem, in 1/2009. Even though a lot of people complained about them before 2009 and, as they increased in severity, a lot of people complained about them.
