If he had been counting on convincing the Left to drop its opposition to the deal at the eleventh hour, he has badly miscalculated. Communist demands that the government refrain from negotiating nuclear safeguards with the IAEA - the next phase of implementing the deal - have prevailed, and it is the government that appears to have been forced to back down...
