Who's in charge here King. Does 'back-channeling for years' mean, we don't have the will to stop the iranian nuclear weapons program, and we're going to give them plenty of time to develop it. Seems like a win/win for the iranians and the iranians. What's in it for the US and it's seemingly nonexistent allies, maybe iran turns the screws on turkey and gets them to kick the US out and loose our base there.
