++John Kerry is back at Lausanne for the final leg of the talks with Iran on a nuclear deal. Iranian President Rouhani has been making a flurry of calls to international leaders to support a deal. The US is cagy about the terms but Salehi, the nuclear negotiator for Iran, says the technical aspect is done.
++Israel called for a postponement of the talks because Iran is actively engaging in Yemen on the side of the rebels. It was ignored.
++The investigative reporter who procured the Pentagon's assessment of the Israeli nuclear program through the Freedom of Information Act is now seen by the right to simply be an instrument of Obama getting even with Bibi. Which I guess took several years of filing until the time is right.
++John Kerry warned that if a deal isn't struck ,the centrifuges keep spinning and the sanctions fall away.He criticized the critics of the deal for never stepping up and providing a constructive alternative.
++Francois Hollande said that Iran had the right to produce nuclear fuel for energy but not for weapons and that France was working to ensure this.
++It seems that General Suleiman of the Revolutionary Guard may be Karla but as a general leaves much to be desired. He has been the commander for the three week offensive against ISIS in Tikrit but hasn't managed to seize the small town despite tremendous odds on his side.
++Now the Iraqi government had to call in American air power for the siege. The Shi'ite militias are stranding down because they don't want to collaborate with the Americans.
++The Saudis and the Egyptians are now invading Yemen, which is in total chaos. Its President has fled, its National Defense Chief has been captured and the television stations seized.
