american thinker ^ | 7/1/08 | american thinker

This has so many holes in it, Swis cheese would seem whole by comparison.

But the ramifications are so profound that it deserves to be reported - if only to smoke out whether or not it is true. A respected journalist, Laura Rozen, is reporting at a not very respected journalistic site, Mother Jones, that an Iranian American academic is quoting from an Iranian news site that the government of Iran will suspend uranium enrichment activities for a perioid of six weeks in exchange for:

I call BS on this. Iran is hellbent on getting a nuke, as it believes its acquisition is demanded by the islamic moon god.

If I were them, I would suspend enrichment and get all kinds of stuff from the west, wait until November to see who becomes President. If McCain becomes president. we’re back to square one. If Obama wins, start making bombs. The Dems will do nothing.

The Mullahs and Ammy-boy are feeling the heat and know what is about to rain on them. This is time stalling on their part, hopefully the world can see through this charade./Just Asking - seoul62.....

If there even is such an offer, I assume it’s either pure stall tactics or else maybe they have some technical reason for taking a pause, such as fixing a problem with the centrifuges, installing more centrifuges, etc.

I very much doubt that anything short of massive bombing can truly pause the Mullahs in their quest for nukes.

6 weeks means I should shoot you in the kneecap, instead of the head, for the time being, just on the off chance you may believe that I’m serious.

If our “diplomats” at State, cause us to get played for fools on this one, it’s time to abolish the State Dept. AND the U.N.!

If I was Iran... I would suspend, wait to see if the feckless boy wonder messiah gets into office, and then enrich, enrich, enrich, knowing squat will happen.

Hit them fast and hard on a moonless night.
EMP to take out all electronics.
Cut all net access, phone access, take out the satellites that provide tv.
Take out all major bridges, airports, water, power, sewage, heavy industry.
Cut all major highways apart, all rail lines.
Utterly destroy all military bases.
Take out the underground nuclear sites...even if that means nuclear bunker busters.
Destroy their pitiful navy.
Allow no Iranian air traffic of any kind.
Blockade all land and sea routes...take out anything trying to cross into or out of Iran.

Then give them a year under this pressure to think about what sort of society they want to rebuild from the ashes.

BS, this is either disinformation from the left in an attempt to thwart Israel’s impending attack, or it’s Iran playing games in an attempt to thwart Israel’s impending attack. Someone’s making stuff up, or someone’s playing games, but if anyone actually believes Iran is stopping uranium enrichment they need to put down the crack pipe...

Why would Mother Jones publish something that is true, as in- it is a fact, it actually happened. That would be uncharacteristic.

It looks like the Jerusalem Post has picked up the story. I didn't see it in the search and it may be worth posting, but I don't have time. I didn't see it in a search.
