He does not have til August 22. And we better just realize that they are stalling for time. I know the US does, but the EU weenies have been less than worthless.
Sure he does. The Europeans won't hold him to any timetable for response if it means violence. Iran has promised an 8/22 response, and they'll give them the extra time.
Now, given that Ahmadinejad is a flat-out fruitloop; and given that 8/22 is apparently the anniversary of some great Islamic victory over the crusaders; and given that fruitloops are often motivated by symbolic dates, I'm guessing we won't like their response....
(Maybe I'm wrong about the date -- I see that Jerusalem fell to the Khorezmians on 23 August, 1244 -- a rather ominous coincidence....)
