LOL, barry takes it on the chin again!! He ran hos mouth during his champaign that we would have a world without nukes and that no country would add to their stickpiles and those that didn't have them wouldn't get them, because HE was going to offer ours up and destroy them as a show of good faith. HE was going to talk to our enemies and do an apology tour and say the the US was the bad ones and that we could now be trusted and that HE was going to just go along to get along, no more wild cowboy....

FT.com / Iran - Iran takes nuclear programme off table
Iran’s leading nuclear official has ruled out any discussions over the country’s nuclear programme during the upcoming talks with the world’s big powers, while disclosing that a new uranium enrichment site had initially been built by the elite Revolutionary Guards as an ammunition depot.
The comments on Tuesday by Ali-Akbar Salehi add to the pessimism that talks on Thursday in Geneva with the US, Britain, Germany, France, Russia and China will bear any fruits and will further fuel international suspicions about the link between the country’s nuclear and missile plans.
Iran’s nuclear timeline
The FT tracks the chronology of Iran’s nuclear programme from the Islamic revolution to today
“We will never bargain about our sovereign rights,” Mr Salehi told a selected number of international media, including the Financial Times. “If we have the right to enrich uranium . .. convert uranium . . . have fuel fabrication . . . design reactors and manufacture reactors, we will do them and will not freeze them.”
He said Iran was committed to the “integrity” of the non-proliferation treaty (NPT) and would not accept the six big powers’ “freeze-for-freeze” proposal by which Iran should suspend all nuclear-related activities in return for a halt in international punitive measures.
“They say the only guarantee you can give us is to stop all kinds of nuclear technologies and activities, but this is absolutely . . . nonsense,” he said.
Mr Salehi added that the new site – which Iran told the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) about last week – was one of those subjects that could not be discussed.
However, he said that “the doors will be open” to international inspectors to visit Iran’s second uranium enrichment facility “in the not-too-distant future” which would be a question of “months”. He said any inspection, as well as access to relevant personnel and documents, would be only within the old rules of NPT which gives only limited access to the UN nuclear watchdog.
Mr Salehi said Iran’s second enrichment facility – located 100km south of Tehran – was “adjacent” to the Revolutionary Guards’ compound and that it “has nothing to do” with the military force now.
He did not clarify how the guards had built a depot outside their compound or when they had started construction, but he noted that Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation took over the site about a year ago as a “contingency plan” to protect the nuclear programme.
“This site was selected on purpose in a place that would be a perfect place against any aerial attack plus .. . that would reduce the cost of active defence,” he said.
