Lula Exposes White House Forked Tongue On Iran - Magda Hassan - 29-05-2010
Obama's Letter to Lula Exposes White House Forked Tongue On Iran
By Steve Hynd
May 28, 2010 "NewsHoggers" --May 27, 2010 -- Via Robert Naiman, it appears that President Lula of Brazil has decided to shine some light on the Obama administration's machinations on Iran. He has finally released the full text of Obama's 20th April letter to Brazil about the proposed TTR fuel swap deal and the entire thing appears today in Brazilian Foreign Policy.
The letter reads, in part:

The letter also specifically mentions the compromise of using Turkey as the location for Iran's fuel to be held "in escrow".
I would urges Brazil to impress upon Iran the opportunity presented by this offer to "escrow" its uranium in Turkey while the nuclear fuel is being produced.
This letter's authenticity is not disputed by the White House. It exposes the Obama administration's forked-tongue response to the Brazil and Turkey brokered swap. The White House is now in full spin mode, but the spin has already been undercut by the release of the letter's full text. Of late, Hilary Clinton has been the main vehicle for the White House's double-talk, which is now entirely aimed at closing down opportunities to find a negotiated settlement to the Iran nuclear issue no matter what the new National Security Strategy might say. But Obama must also bear the burden of blame, his is the desk where the buck stops.http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article25566.htm
