Diplomats: Iran May Compromise on Nukes Tuesday, October 11, 2005 NA, Austria — Iran has signaled it may grant access to sites linked to possible work on nuclear weapons and other demands from the U.N. atomic watchdog agency to avoid referral to the Security Council (search), diplomats said Tuesday. The diplomats, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the sensitive negotiations, said a high-ranking delegation from the International Atomic Energy Agency (search) was in Tehran on Tuesday to discuss details of a possible Iranian offer. Besides seeking access to two military sites, the agency also wants to interview military officials thought to be associated with what Iran calls a purely civilian nuclear program. The agency is also asking for documents linked to Tehran's uranium enrichment program. IAEA officials view those three outstanding issues as crucial to their nearly three-year inquiry meant to test Iranian assertions that more than 18 years of clandestine nuclear activities first discovered in 2002 were geared solely toward generating power. Iran's foot-dragging on those points contributed to a decision last month by the IAEA's 35-nation board of governors to find the country in violation of provisions of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (search). The board also passed a resolution clearing the way for it to refer Tehran to the Security Council as early as next month The diplomats, who are accredited to the agency, said that after signals from Tehran that it was ready to compromise, all three points were being discussed between Iranian officials and the IAEA delegation, led by Olli Heinonen, an agency deputy director general. Iran strongly denies assertions from the United States and its allies that its nuclear program is a cover for a weapons program or that its military is involved in atomic activities.

yeah, I was thinking about all those iraqi 'resolutions' too. By now, Iran will have anything dangerous hiding over in France or Syria right now.

Lets compromise by dropping MOABs and Wad-Cutters instead of Diamond tip bunker busting Nukes.

I for one have grown extremely tired of being threatened.

Still waiting to see this story:

Unnamed diplomats today admitted that they are all gullible morons. At a mass press conference, hundreds of diplomats wearing masks issued a joint statement: "We know it seems hard to comprehend, but we just keep believing everything that the Mullahs say. Some have said for many years that we are all gullible morons, but only now have we come to the realization that this is the truth. We are idiots, we are pitiful, we are an embarrassment to humanity! We promise to change."

I hear you...but it would be just so much more satisfying to do it ourselves, knowing we solved a problem in 3 days, and field testing some weapons...you know..a warm up.

Also, no nation building this time.

Today is tueday? Yep, this is the day they say they will cooperate with us on nukes.

Check back in Friday when they tell us to stuff it because they are going to continue their program.

The rest of the days they threaten us with terrorist attacks, nuke strikes and the 40,000 terrorists volunteers they have raised.

I thought these diplomorons told us that Iran would rather fight than quit! That they had no fear of the security counsel (rightly so). What happened?

Well they changed their minds, of course! Over these past weeks Iran has really seen the error of their ways and wants to only promote peace and harmony throughout the whole entire world! (tear!) Oh yeah, and kill all infidels like myself.
