US sets deadline for Iran to cooperate with IAEA
Reuters ^ | 11/29/12

Posted on 11/29/2012 4:32:13 PM PST by Dave346

The United States effectively set a March deadline on Thursday for Iran to start cooperating in substance with a U.N. nuclear agency investigation, saying it would otherwise urge reporting the issue to the U.N. Security Council. The comments by U.S. diplomat Robert Wood to the 35-nation governing board of the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency signalled Washington's growing frustration at the lack of results in the IAEA's inquiry into possible military dimensions to Tehran's nuclear programme. Iran denies the charge. "If by March Iran has not begun substantive cooperation with the IAEA, the United States ... would urge the board to consider reporting this lack of progress to the U.N. Security Council," Wood said, according to a copy of his statement.

Pathetic excuses for Americans, this administration.

More stall tactics to assist Iran in building the bomb. Hopefully, Israel will decide to prevent that themselves.

Or else what? You’ll set another deadline?

Obama and his perverted administration don’t want to stop Iran. They want Iran to succeed.

I think Obamugabe hates Israel almost as much as the Mullahs.

Okay, when the "deadline" passes with no action, what happens?

Is that a "deadline cliff"?

They better get started on considering a committee to ponder the potential verbiage that might be included in a stongly worded letter that we’ll be thinking about sending in the future sometime.

I’m sure we’ll see some results.

Our actions toward Iran remind me of a parent trying to discipline their child:

Now, Jimmy, please stop doing that.

Jimmy continues

Jimmy, I'm going to count to three and if you don't stop I'm going to send you to your room for time out. One ... two ........... three.

Jimmy continues

Ok, Jimmy, I'm going to give you one more chance to stop - I'm going to count to ten this time. ............... nine ............. ten

Jimmy continues

Ok, Jimmy, go to your room and stay there until I say you can come out - and don't turn the television volume up too loud, or talk too long on your cell phone with your friends, or play video games too long. And I mean it!

If it is after the Mayan 12/21/2012 it doesn’t matter. Actually I am hoping to be debt free that day.

I wonder if Mrs. Bill Horndog included an “or else” with the stern note of instruction to Iran?

Heh. The penalty is stated in the article. The U.S. will recommend the IAEA report the lack of cooperation to the UN Security Council. I suppose that's like putting a black mark on Iran's permanent record.
