WINEP’s Dennis Ross reassigned, no longer the US POC for Iran
Dennis Ross has been an economic hawk on Iran, spouting nonsense like "cutting [Iran's] economic lifeline" over the nuclear fuel cycle issue, as if (a) Japan, China and India might pass on the oil and gas to make the Bush/Cheney/AIPAC gang look good, and (b) this was a useful way to think about the Islamic Republic in the first place. Obama did select him to be the uber-stupid for US-Iran policy, and yesterday he was unslected, which improves the odds of the US point of contact for Iran isn't a complete idiot.
