Iran agreed on Thursday in talks with the United States and other major powers to open its newly revealed uranium enrichment plant near Qum to international inspection in the next two weeks and to send most of its openly declared enriched uranium to Russia to be turned into fuel for a small reactor that produces medical isotopes, senior American and other Western officials said.
Iran’s agreement in principle to export most of its enriched uranium for processing — if it happens — would represent a major accomplishment for the West, reducing Iran’s ability to make a nuclear weapon quickly and buying more time for negotiations to bear fruit.
If Iran has secret stockpiles of enriched uranium, however, the accomplishment would be hollow, a senior American official conceded.

that was proposed way back. It could slow the push for war and makes more sense than sanctions. Sanctions in our times is a countdown to war with US giving the first strike. I hate it when we do that.

You mean way back before they disclosed the existence of the underground facility last week?

If you're stupid enough to think that Obama only knew about them last week, then you're farther gone than I thought.

Gee, when Clinton declared that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction no one questioned the intelligence. But when Bush, after numerous UN inspector rejections, uses the same intelligence it's discounted.
...so this begs the question....when did Obama know about "them?"

If Obama knew about the underground enrichment facility, why did he suddenly change his tune when Iran proudly trotted it out? It looked like it was a big surprise to everybody, especially the intelligence agencies.
