Bad? This has to be about the worst negotiation ever! So, you are telling me that going in, Iran can get $12 billion for only coming to the negotiating table? If they give us absolutely nothing, and continue with their nuke program, they walk away with $12 billion.
Gee, who would think that they would take the $12 billion, give up nothing, and walk away?
We didn't tell them right at the beginning that we would release the full amount. It was slowly given up in the process. But either way, it's not an incredibly large sum of money by any standards, and if they continue to reject negotiations, that will only ostracize them from the world community even more. In the grand scheme of things, if the money gives us a a shot at a good deal then it's well worth it.
