It's not delayed. It's delayed. It's delayed for technical reasons. No, it's delayed for political reasons. ... ...a decade?

Ping!

Hopefully, the Russians are smart enough to build this plant so that it stops working 15 minutes after they get paid.

[RightWhale]

Maybe this is the reason State is disinterested in Russia's terrorist problems.

Putin should say "delayed? did I say delayed? I meant bombs away!"

[stockpirate]

One can only beleive that Mr. Putin is wondering how many nukes Iran will give to the terrorists that carried out the attack over the weekend to use on Moscow.

This is the opening Mr. Powell. Russia backs off the Iran nuke plants and we back off our moral support for Chechnya. Lets make a deal and hope that it becomes a foundation for cooperation in the future. We should make a pact with the Russians that neither of us will play the Jihadi's against the other. I've gotta go study up on the Chechan history now. It appears they are another Bosnia / Kosovo ... where cold war history may have us on the wrong side of the war with Jihadistan. Lets get it right and make sure the Rusky's do the same.

(delaying until a United Nations body declares Iran clean.)

This is big news IF it's true.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I wonder if those 325 new headstones in Belsan have anything to do with this.

[Westbrook]

Why, imagine that.

I wonder if certain Islamic Terrorists with Chechen passports will enjoy a sudden visit back to their homeland soon.

After the events of last Friday in Russia anything with a muslim/arab flavor has the taste of ashes. And Vladimir just had hisself what is known in religious circles as an epiphany. I almost can bring myself to almost feel sorry for the mohamadens, but then I think about how the back shooters & bayonet killers of children are acting & agree that it is high time to go medieval on Abdul & Mustafah and company.

[Alouette]

Note to Israel: destroy it now and delay it permanently.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel ping list.

WARNING: This is a high volume ping list

[kidd]

It is possible that this is simply a diplomatic means of saving face.

The timing of these technical delays are suspicious :)

[usurper]

To allay U.S. concerns Iran could extract plutonium, which can be used in atomic bombs, from spent fuel at Bushehr, Russia has pledged to sign a deal with Iran to oblige it to return all fuel to Russia after a decade of use.

And when Iran breaks the deal, then what UN sanctions?

The plant cannot be allowed to go on line.

Russia has strong commercial interests in nuclear power. Putin must appease them if they want to make money in Iraq. He is beholden to them to a certain extent.

Vladimir Putin is not an absolute dictator who directs where nuclear facilities are built.

The Mohammedan terrorist killing of 150 Russian children and a lot more adults changes this equation.
