Well, the Iranians are clearly smarter than this guy. The Iranians hold all the cards and they know it. All they need to do is make a few noises about negotiating and then back out- rinse, repeat. Whenever the international community begins to find their backbones, Iran can just announce that they're prepared to agree to demands and everyone will back down. Then they can change their minds and start all over again- and there will never be any consequences. If they're really good, they can actually extort concessions from us while giving nothing in return.

I think they learned it from the DPRNK.
