I'm sorry, but what the hell?
This is dangerous. Iran wouldn't behave this way if they weren't right on the verge of getting nukes.
I think the Ayatollas just pulled a 'Dean Scream'.
Wow. I am so surprised.
The Mullahs have been acting as nutty as Kim Jong Il as of late.......out of sheer desperation, no doubt.
No, no. This is actually extremely serious.
I registred in response to it, in order to comment.
For those who know diplomacy: this is the diplomatic equivilant of the middle finger. If Iran is really behaving like this we've got every reason to be very worried about what stage their program is at.
C'mon, Israel: take that Iranian reactor out before it goes *critical*. Screw the rest of the world's opinion, and the EU-Girlie-Men. Do what you need to do to survive, a la Iraq, in the 80s!
I don't agree. Especially if (as this article indicates) these were ongoing negotiations.
If two nations at war are negotiating- and things are moving along fine- and one nation suddenly demands the other nation hand over its capital and disband its army, the power who made such demands has decided to stop talking.
Frankly, I expect this year's "October Surprise" to be synchronized Iranian and North Korean nuclear tests.
??? I do believe they want to start the final battle now?
Sounds like some good ol' North Korean-style negotiation. Whatever else they got from membership in good standing in the Axis of Evil, that's the most obvious.
Tick, tock...
Wanna bet that this will be blamed on Bush? How you ask?
He invaded the wrong "I" country. Then with the fine folks over in North Korea...Bush will be blamed for not paying attention to the real threats....oh boy...this is gonna suck.
Thank you Jimmy Carter for replacing a US Ally, (the Shah) with a "religious theocracy".
Eh Whot? Sorry old chappe, but it seems that one of our AIRCRAWFT, regrettably I MUST say, accidently "lost" one of its 2,0000 pound bombs...terribly sorry you know...faw, faw faw, but it hit that nuclear power plant...so sorry old bean...would you like to buy some coal???

One begins to wonder just what "foreign leaders" have promised to support John Kerry.
Sounds serious to me too.
By the way, welcome to Free Republic!
The IAEA is totally useless and if it turns out that they have nukes, Al Baradi ought to be hanged.
When Iran actually gets a nuke or two, they will probably make some outrageous demands, especially of Israel, that could lead directly to war. That will consist of an ultimatim, followed by rejection, followed by war.
