No duh
The original headline on Andrew’s post on the results of the meeting with Iran:
Iran leads us on?
No duh. The headline now reads “Wha’ Happened?” Actually, the whole post has changed. Originally (according to my Google Reader), it read thusly:
It looks like today’s P5+1 and Iran meeting has resulted in agreement…to another meeting:
Most analysts had agreed coming into the talks this morning that the bare minimum for a successful meeting is an agreed framework for continuing the negotiations. This (low) bar seems to have been met in today’s talks.
Enduring America’s judges the talks a win for the Iranian government:
What it needed, even more than the disappearance of the sanctions threat and space for its nuclear programme, was the drama and spectacle of recognition to take back home.
Apparently, this wasn’t nearly positive enough a spin for the Obamaites, so that post has disappeared and has been replaced by this post. Now, apparently, Obama hasn’t been “led on” by the Iranians. No, he has overseen the achievement of more with one buffet lunch than Bush did in 8 years! Or some such. What’s that phrase Orwell coined? The memory hole? Just another post to feed into it, I guess…
