Newly charged with overseeing Iran policy is Colin Kahl, appointed last week as Joe Biden’s national security adviser. A senior fellow at the Obama-friendly think tank Center for a New American Security who worked at the Pentagon from 2009 to 2011, Kahl replaces Jake Sullivan as point man for the administration’s secret talks with Iran. Sullivan’s job was to persuade Iran to sit for talks at which the White House would deal away all its leverage in exchange for nothing. Kahl’s job will be to convince U.S. allies and Obama’s opponents on Capitol Hill that acknowledging Iran’s right to enrich uranium and then easing sanctions is a really good idea—because, finally, the United States has no choice. weeklystandard/articles/appeasing-iran_808497.html#
