“@BahmanKalbasi: No exaggeration 2 say millions of #Iran-ians watching #Geneva w/ hope of a deal. All over FB / twitter”

We do live in interesting times. So many things that many thought impossible or that would be for many years in the future have come to fruition during our life time. Hope that this will be another one.

If they weren’t close they wouldn’t be going on this late me thinks. Total wild speculation: the Iranian news agency (which I’ve seen Iranians say is well respected) might be correct and that the deal is done. What’s being worked on how is all countries need to have their final look at it and make sure it is announced by the appropriate parties within their countries. Dreaming?
As usual, conflicting reports about whether Geneva talks on Iran had or hadn't ended. US now says they're ongoing. Long night.
Watching Dateline London on BBC right now. The Arab journalist who is usually on the show spoke truth. To paraphrase: “Americans are tired of war, and that’s what will push a deal.”
it’s past 2am there. perfectly reasonable that all the people at the table agreed to collective, “let’s sleep on it.” plus, no one would be able to speak well about it while sleep deprived, so i see this all as really good news.
I’ve got BBC World running on my laptop. I’m sure AJAM will cover it. CNN. MSNBC has prison shows on. Fox will be looking for scamming homeless people.
I already confessed how I am not suited to the job of diplomat – too nervous & hot-headed when it matters most;
I am using all my reservoir in patience – so much is on the line and with so many ready to sabotage, the diplomats need all our support and understanding

We’re damned to hell. On Dateline London, the journalists are commenting that the jockeying for the 2015 elections have started now, in 2013. Definitely our fault, compounded by the PM candidate debates in the last election.

We can’t let MSM taint our happiness tonight. This is really progress and change I so want to believe in! Notice I’m sooo happy, I realize I haven’t even waited for SoS Kerry’s team to confirm.

End of last thred: Exhausted reporters, with karaoke in the background, in the lobby of the Geneva Intercontinental.
The WHPC could NEVER do this!
They’re too busy worrying about PBO’s golf game…
And everything else PBO has has nothing to do with anything…..horrid bunch
Yes..I vote for the “edit” button!
Ooooh Hopefruit, you said it!

Okay, the Ashes are going to have to wait. Off to switch to BBC World.

It’s pathetic for the US media that any American who wants to know what’s happening in Geneva has to follow #genevatalks
Says. It. All.
Yep.
Yet they would ALL be fully on top of PBO’s golf game…..
It really is. What’s up with Al Jazeera? I don’t watch tv but I thought they might be competent.
And, the entire world knows just how pathetic our media is …

I swear, I am sweating, shaking, breathing so hard that as I type, my fingers are just so unstable.
I have not been this way in a long time. Thank you all for the Tweets. They help.
Right there with you, Nena.
You are so kind, Doc.
If this is true there’s gonna be some rock’n and roll’n in Iran and around the world ….
false alarm I think on the good news. But still reason to be very hopeful imho.
OK, I’m going back to football……….. I’m sure this will be sorted out in the next 15 minutes? -BBL

I appreciate Ann Curry. She is still a Journo, not a pretend presenter.
The world obviously awaits their wisdom………….
Perspective:
Now I know why it’s so hard to get an agreement on nuclear ambitions. We can’t even agree whether or not there’s an agreement.
Believe it or not, that’s a good sign. It means that a deal is close at hand. The darkest hour is right before dawn….
EXACTLY!!
I guess it’s understandable why they would keep a tight lid on this until the t’s are crossed and the i’s are dotted, but holy moly! The suspense is killing me!!
Nervewracking.
How that pinocchio instead of mickey.
in light of president obama and s.o.s. kerry’s incredible work, it’s good to remember just how insane and wrong republicans always are–
and “the news” will continue to elevate these nitwits as reasonable voices.
Ah, a timely reminder 4more, thank the heavens above that man never became President.

You guyz and the galz, especially the latter, are impatient. You want 34 years of impasse to be sorted in 24 hours?
YES!!!!! 😆
Things will move at vc’s pace. You’ve been warned.
😆 This is me trying to hurry VC/Iran talks up:
Bwwahahahaaa!! We’re dooooomed!!
The resemblance is uncanny.
And No, I won’t tell whose resemblance.
D’you like my earrings?
Also. Too. ‘Pretty’ big nose.
I’m not impatient!
🙂
Who is impatient? Just because we are following it doesn’t mean we are impatient or expect it. Did you wake up grumpy? 🙂
No, that grumpy fathead is still sleeping. This is his nsa handler posting.
Jeez amk, here, let me make you a gimlet WITHOUT simple syrup. Happy?
Replace syrup with coffee. Strong coffee. Then may be.
I know only one way to make coffee: strong.

I HAVE A GOOD FEELING!!!!
As Alabama Shakes sings:
Hold On.
I have had 2 large cups of coffee. I don’t know how that is helping to calm my nerves. The shakes is just not stopping.
If we get an agreement, it’s going to be a another BFD . I so hope it’s happening.
Yes, a very BIG BFD. I wonder if PBO is pacing right now or if he’s settled down with a beer.
POTUS per Mrs Obama, his sister, Maya, VP Biden, etc POTUS is just a Calm guy. Never rattled.
Surely The President knows more than we do.
He is so cool, probably the latter. Any idea where we’ll see the press conference?
I’ve been looking but nothing so far. JER will probably find something before any of us!
Nothing Live on AJAM Cable.
Any Live Links? The anticipation is just nerve shattering.
BBC world is discussing2016.
We’re damned to hell. On Dateline London, the journalists are commenting that the jockeying for the 2015 elections have started now, in 2013. Definitely our fault, compounded by the PM candidate debates in the last election.
I will know that the Iran Geneva Talks are completed when I get a report that SoS Kerry is leaving;
until then, I will just keep biting whatever is left of my nails (nervous reaction when under pressure)
More “finale” speak.
NBA Dance Cam
It borders on criminal. Dereliction of duty. Something they should be fined for.
Nothing on NBC or ABC either. Just checked…….pathetic!
I guess Iran and the US DO have a lot in common. Hideous media.
They only stream events that the GOP cheer along – CNN has an Obamacare headline – sigh
Cimate change has also had a win – despite the Australian Government has refused to participate – another sigh
