Rice: Sanctions stay until Iran proves it isn’t seeking a bomb

Despite signals that Iran and the US were working towards a nuclear deal, National Security Adviser Susan Rice said Sunday that sanctions against the Islamic Republic would remain in place until the US and its allies are satisfied Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons.

“Obviously, we and others in the international community have every reason to be skeptical of that and we need to test it, and any agreement must be fully verifiable and enforceable,” said Rice in an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria.

She said it had been clear to Iran that it “had to meet its international obligations under Security Council resolutions and that the sanctions would remain until those obligations were satisfied.”

The White House national security adviser and former ambassador to the UN said the US wouldn’t agree to let Iran enrich its own uranium. She said US President Barack Obama made clear that Washington accepted Iran’s right to use enriched uranium for peaceful energy purposes — apparently from supervised overseas sources — but not to enrich the material itself.

Asked whether the US shared Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s four demands — that Iran halt uranium enrichment, remove already enriched material, close the Fordo nuclear facility, and discontinue the plutonium track in Arak — Rice replied: “Obviously, we are in constant contact and communication with our Israeli allies and other key allies in this process. And we have been largely united in agreeing on the process going forward, and on what is necessary to give us a shared degree of confidence. And when I say us, I mean all of us in the international community, a shared degree of confidence that at the end of this process, that Iran’s nuclear program, if there is to be one, is only for peaceful purposes.”

She said she would not “get into the contours of a negotiation that really hasn’t gotten underway in any meaningful way,” but stressed “that we have been on this program in the P5+1 and with Israel and other partners in the region, and, indeed, within the entire international community, as enshrined in Security Council resolutions on insisting on the steps that need to be taken.”

Concerning the UN Security Council resolution to strip Syria of its chemical weapons, Rice said the demand was worded strongly enough, but noted that military action against Syria in case of noncompliance would require Security Council approval. 

“I think it’s important for people to understand what this resolution accomplishes,” Rice said. ”In fact, it does say, in very clear-cut terms, that if there is noncompliance on the part of the Syrians, there will be action taken under Chapter 7 of the United Nations Charter. Chapter 7 is the only chapter of the Charter that calls for — and allows for — enforcement action.”

Rice admitted, however, that before the UN could act under Chapter 7, the Security Council would have to reconvene and approve military action.

“Obviously, in any circumstance, we would need to come back to the Security Council if we sought multilateral endorsement of such enforcement action in the circumstances, [and] have a negotiation about what that action ought to be,” she said.

On Friday, the UN Security Council unanimously voted to eliminate all of Syria’s estimated 1,000-ton chemical weapons stockpile by mid-2014.

Rice said that the threat of further action if Syria doesn’t follow through with relinquishing its chemical weapons was a key aspect that US Secretary of State John Kerry negotiated with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov when they met in Geneva earlier this month.

Besides the UN resolution, Rice warned, the US reserves the right to act of its own accord, including using military force.

“The president has been very clear that we remain postured to act if the choice is taken by him and if the necessity arises,” she said. “We’re not taking any options off the table. And the president has been very clear that, as commander-in-chief, he has the authority to act in the interests of the United States and to use force if necessary.”

On the News With Thom Hartmann: Fast-Food Restaurant in Michigan Proves It Is Possible to Pay a Living Wage, and More

In today’s On the News segment: Diplomacy works; the Kansas state legislature says they’re orchestrating a campaign against child poverty; in Wisconsin, the state’s Libertarian Party is joining forces with the Green Party to support a solar energy proposal; Moo Cluck Moo currently starts workers at $ 12 an hour, and will increase that to $ 15 an hour on October 1^st of this year; and more. 

You need to know this. Diplomacy works. On Monday, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said, “We are calling on Syrian leadership to not only agree on placing chemical weapons storage sites under international control, but also it’s subsequent destruction and fully joining the treaty on prohibition of chemical weapons.” Shortly afterward, a Syrian official told reporters that his nation welcomed the proposal. In a series of television interviews that same evening, President Obama called the Russian proposal a “possible breakthrough” and a “positive development.” The plan for a Syrian surrender of chemical weapons was a response to an off-the-cuff comment by Secretary of State John Kerry, who was asked what Syria could do to avoid a military strike by the United States. Secretary Kerry responded, saying, Assad “could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week, but he isn’t about to do it and it can’t be done obviously.” Almost immediately, Russian officials urged Syria to accept the proposal, and Syria accepted. Within 24 hours, China and Iran backed the plan as well, and pulled us back from brink of a potential world war. This is what happens when our leaders use diplomatic efforts, rather than military strikes, to resolve a conflict. In a single day, we went from facing a world war, to Russian officials working on an “effective, concrete” plan for Syria to hand over chemical weapons. And, once those weapons are surrendered, there is little risk that chemicals will wind up in the hands of terrorists. Some media reports claim that President Obama worked out this proposal with Vladimir Putin during the G20 summit in Russia, and other reports say that Secretary Kerry’s off-hand comment initiated the proposal. Regardless of who gets credit, the lesson is clear. Dropping bombs is not the only way to resolve a conflict.

In screwed news… The Kansas state legislature says they’re orchestrating a campaign against child poverty. However, their plan is more about imposing their so-called moral values on Kansas residents, than about lifting families out of poverty. Republican Governor Sam Brownback put together the Task Force on Reducing Childhood Poverty, which was supposed to study the issue, and recommend ideas to help struggling families. What they came up with were nine recommendations like “understanding the importance of marriage and families” and reducing the availability of food assistance throughout the state. Rather than proposing jobs or education that could help people earn more money, the state task force proposed free marriage licenses, and suggested investing in something called “Healthy Relationship Education in Middle and High School.” The task force simply perpetuated the meme that if you’re living in poverty, it could only be the result of your bad choices. Republicans love to talk about limited government, and staying out of people’s lives, but it looks like that doesn’t apply to the low-income people living in Kansas.

In the best of the rest of the news…

The possibility of another war isn’t the only thing that can create unlikely political bedfellows. In Wisconsin, that state’s Libertarian Party is joining forces with the Green Party to support a solar energy proposal. Both parties have endorsed a plan that would allows customers to lease solar panels and other renewable energy products that they can’t afford to buy outright. Paul Ehlers, the Wisconsin Libertarian Party Chair, said, “There are all kinds of philosophical disagreements [with the Green Party], but at the end of the day this was pretty much a no-brainer.” The measure is known as the Clean Energy Choice Initiative, and it is far more likely to gain traction in the state legislature – which is controlled by Republicans – now that the Libertarians and Tea Party in the state support it. Michael Vickerman, with RENEW Wisconsin, said that thanks to the coalition with Libertarians, green energy advocates “can talk to Republican legislators in a way we couldn’t in the past.”

As the heated debate about raising the minimum wage continues, one fast-food restaurant in Michigan is proving that it’s possible to pay a living wage. Moo Cluck Moo currently starts workers at $ 12 an hour, and will increase that to $ 15 an hour on October 1^st of this year. Co-owner Brian Parker said, “We always wanted to be at $ 15 an hour. If just feels human to do it.” And, they say higher wages are actually a great investment. The company has seen better customer service, lower employee turnover, and less time and money spent hiring and training new workers. According to the Think Progress Blow, increasing employee pay can also help increase productivity, and provide a boost to the local economy when workers have more money to spend. Overall, better pay is a win-win-win for the business, the employee, and the local shops and restaurants. And, as the fast-food strikes continue in several cities around our nation, workers are pointing to good-paying, successful businesses like Moo Cluck Moo, and providing a heck of a lot of free publicity.

 And finally…Most young girls are focused on friends, school, or hobbies, but not Brynne Larson and her friends. The trio is much more interested in exorcism. That’s right, Brynne’s father, Rev. Bob Larson, supposedly trained the girls in the practice of expelling demons, and they headed off to England to fight the “satanic element” of Harry Potter. The girls say that the popularity of the J.K. Rowling’s series shows a rise in occult activity across the pond. In a video posted by Daily Mail, 18-year-old Brynne said, “Harry is using this magic for good. So here we have the dangerous idea that you can use this magic for good or bad. When in reality, all magic is bad ’cause you’re getting your power from Satan.” No word yet on whether Rand Paul plans to help the girls, or whether Aqua Buddha will be involved.

And that’s the way it is today – Tuesday, September 10, 2013. I’m Thom Hartmann – on the news.

John Edwards: Re-Entry Into Public Life Proves You Can"t Keep a Good Man Down

John Edwards Re Entry Into Public Life Proves You Cant Keep a Good Man Down

John Edwards is preparing a comeback. The Associated Press reported this week that Edwards has reactivated his legal license in North Carolina and accepted a speaking gig on June 6 at a “private retreat” for a law marketing firm’s lawyer clients.

Returning to the spotlight after public disgrace is a timeless political tradition. Edwards’ return to the public spotlight would come over a year after his hawkishly watched campaign-finance trial last summer. He was cleared from all charges because of a mistrial and doubts remained about his campaign finance abuses. Even after the trial he still faced the aftermath of the tell-all memoir by his mistress Rielle Hunter. The salacious revelations of the book decimated his golden-boy reputation even more than when the affair first surfaced and pushed him out of the 2008 presidential race.

Edwards is hardly the only promising but troubled politician to have wandered off the straight and narrow, and is in unfortunately celebrated company with Mark Sanford, Anthony Weiner, David Petraeus, and most famously, former President Bill Clinton. All of them made slow and calculated repairs to their image after their missteps and have rebounded to varying degrees of success.

It will be something of a guilty pleasure to watch the road to redemption that Edwards embarks on as the 2016 races start to pick up. However, his decision to re-emerge in the public eye should not come as a surprise to anyone.

During a press conference after his mistrial was announced Edwards hinted at that all-too-omniscient endorsement of God for his future political ambitions: “I don’t think God’s through with me. I really believe he thinks there’s still some good things I can do.”

What do you think? Will John Edwards work his way back on to the presidential candidate roster?
