Iran Talks Extended

++How much slippage was there in a 24-hour period, which saw several states claim there was a deal? 

++John Kerry has become one of the folk heroes in Lausanne where a pizza was named after him. Buzzfeed has the story about John Kerry's popularity.

++Meanwhile, Bibi greeted John Boehner and expressed horror that the talks were continuing while a general of a Iranian militia group said the destruction of Israel was non-negotiable. Previously, Bibi objected to negotiations going on while Iran backed the Houthis in Yemen.

++After Israel, Boehner is traveling on to Saudi Arabia to assure the King the United States will continue to do whatever the Saudis want.

++Senator Menendez has been indicted on federal charges of corruption. 

++The Post has an article on why President Obama is gambling so much with the Iranian talks. Basically,the Middle East is kaput as a geopolitical entity and President Obama wants to be able to position the United States to talk to both sides of the Shiite and Sunni divide.

++Weirdly ISIS today actually proposed a ceasefire as their positions have been destroyed by thousands of sorties from the United States.
