#1 This is like Stalin critiqueing America on its death penalty.

#2 I just can't think of anything funny enough to cover this.

#3 that last line was the nugget - this is another "out" for the mullahs from any promises on nukes. "We have to sadly withdraw from our previous committments due to human rights disregard by our European partners"

#6 someone made this up right?

Not at all. This is a message to the Europeans that they had better stop cracking down on Muslims for whatever reason. They have indicated their dhimmitude in the nuclear power deal and if they now try to act uppity, the Iranins will start saying they are building the nukes we all know they are building.. The Europeans should expect a lot more lecturing from their betters the Mullahs.

#7 I said it yesterday and I'll say it again: you can't make a deal with the devil and still hold the high moral ground. And you can't really win in the deal either. Europe has been totally suckered.

#8 I cannot believe that Europe has been totally suckered. They know damn well what the Iranians are up to. There is some serious money in contracts with Iran, oil, gas, nuclear, infrastructure, that the EUniks are into with Iran. Russia, same boat. They lost Iraq. They are not suckers. They have sold their souls for filthy lucre.

#9 I agree, AP. They aren't being snookered - they went into this intentionally and frankly don't care about the nukes -- or the mullah's oppression of Iranians, for that matter.

#11 Europe hasn't "been suckered." They're on the same side as the Iranians. The goal is to prevent the US hegemon from attacking Iran while preserving fat Iranian contracts for the Three Dwarves' national champion exporters.
