Contrary to Netanyahu's description, this does seem to do far more than September's views on possibilities. http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/08/world/meast/iran-nuclear-talks/index.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_topstories+%28RSS%3A+Top+Stories%29&utm_content=news&utm_term=CNN

Kerry's statement this morning is very optimistic, but speaks of there still being things to agree on. http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/world/2013/11/08/top-diplomats-join-iran-nuclear-talks/WtFg4H0x8c5m2uBQeF3wXP/story.html?s_campaign=sm_tw

Slightly off topic, here is a cool twitter comment (and the replies) on Kerry:

John Kerry's first year as secretary of state has probably eclipsed his expectations of what the job could be. (Spenser Ackerman)

Michael Cohen ‏@speechboy71 2h
@attackerman His or ours?

Spencer Ackerman ‏@attackerman
@speechboy71 Maybe both? I can't remember the last time a secretary of state has done this much. Brent Scowcroft works upstairs so I can ask

Stephen Young ‏@StephenUCS 2h

Indeed @attackerman this Iran stuff is a game-changer, Syria a partial victory snatched from the jaws of war. Now, North Korea . . .

Michael Cohen ‏@speechboy71 2h
@attackerman my guess would be never - at least in this short a period of time. It's remarkable

Cool when some in the fp punditry sound almost like us!
