The US line that Iran is seeking the capability to develop nuclear weapons but not necessarily such weapons themselves contrasts with Mr. Bushs insistence while in office that it sought nuclear weapons.
Yes, read that again. WTF? That's the US line? It's nonsensical. Obama is leaking this for a reason. This is how this snake conducts his foreign policy.
Iran wants nuclear weapons. They have oil. They are in North Korea buying a delivery system for a nuke as we speak -- the NORKS are launching a long range ballistic missile any minute now more as a sales presentation than anything else. Do you think North Korea fears Obambi and his strongly worded post-it notes?
Iran is going to drop a nuke and no one cares. This can't be happening. US may cede to Irans nuclear ambition Financial Times (hat tip Armaros)
Theres a fundamental impasse between the western demand for no enrichment and the Iranian demand to continue enrichment, says Mark Fitzpatrick, a former state depart- ment expert now at the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Theres no obvious compromise between those two positions.

There is a growing recognition in [Washington] that the zero [enrichment] solution, though still favoured, simply is unfeasible, says Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council. The US may still have zero as its opening position, while recognising it may not be where things stand at the end of a potential agreement.
Mr Fitzpatrick adds: Obviously, no country wants to flag its fallback positions in advance. As soon as you let your falback position be known, it becomes the new position.

Obama will not do a thing about this issue but Bibi will.
Obambi is a commie-mooselimb (sorry, redundant terms) and an enemy to America.
Gee this "former State department expert" is a real einstein. No wonder we have been doing so well in foreign affairs, with wizards like him in the game.
Could we please get the nineteen year-old sophomores out of the government now? Please?
All together now. Back away from the computer. Stand up. Raise your arms. Bend over and grasp your ankles. Do this several times so you’ll be well conditioned when the time comes. 5, 4, 3, 2,...
3 years 7 months to November 2012 to go or we get some serendipity to get him to leave earlier. Where's that Kenyan birth certificate?
He wants to reduce the power of Israel, and the US.
This is not Jimmy Carter weakness, this is the plan.
Let's hope Bibi knows not to give the US any intell, Hussein will pass it along to Iran.
There is a difference between seeking capability and having a bomb. Iran might want to have the ability to rapidly create a warhead and launch an IRBM, without the extra political liability of having a ready-to-go IRBM pointed at somebody.
Using Hezbollah, maybe?
MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE TO OK ISLAMIC IRANIAN NUKE
Muslim?
The Iranians are very much a part of this North Korean effort that is currently going on. (Launch tonight? Anyone know what the wind forecast is for the launch site?)
So this NK missile launch is a practice run for the Iranians. And no-one, NO-ONE, is going to stop this. Certainly not the Security Council. (As if Russia and China would back Oshama up on this).
... if we last that long.
... if we last that long.
