Interesting. Vindicates Obama's foreign policy - the tough sanctions put in place seem to be working.

The big losers are Romney and NutnYahoo!

of course the right will claim its a ploy by the Iranians to keep a "weak President" in power here by helping him win the election.

Great to have you here, and great to have this news! Thank you for posting it. I hope it's true! Just one more bit of satisfying results on Obama's watch. We need you! This election is not yet won. And time is short. And this needs to be spread around!








Now get to work.

It is indeed very good news. One suspects that we are buried under the avalanche of campaign news and hurricane reports to have noticed.

I wouldn't be surprised if we hear more on Sunday and Monday. I hope Obama makes good use of this because, IMO, this is a HUGE credit to his actions!!!

Not sure that it makes any huge difference, however should enough folks do that, it might. The MSM is going to be all election all the time for now, so any work-around might help the story get out.

I hope this leads to bigger & better things, don't know if it will, but it's a start.

Which about 48% of the country does... Including apparently many DU'ers. So there is interest in keeping the news quiet, in order to keep the "BOMB IRAN!" fervor running high despite this "setback."
