Iran formally responded Tuesday to a package of Western incentives aimed at persuading Tehran to suspend uranium enrichment, with officials saying it has offered a "new formula" to resolve the dispute. The country's top nuclear negotiator said Tehran was ready to enter "serious negotiations." Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, hand-delivered Iran's response to the Western package of nuclear incentives to ambassadors from Britain, China, Russia, France, Germany and Switzerland, state-run television said, without disclosing details.

More delay tactics until they build the BOMB. The Europeans, the Russians and the Chinese will cowardly welcome this deception and delay tactics. It is up to us to say "Screw you Iran", your time for negotiations is up.

Look what Ahmadinejad said just 7 days ago:

If you want to have good relations with the Iranian people in the future, you should acknowledge the right and the might of the Iranian people, and you should bow and surrender to the might of the Iranian people. If you do not accept this, the Iranian people will force you to bow and surrender.

That should read ten years of "serious negotiations."

Would this new formula involve guided tours of facilities scheduled 90 days in advance...except for facilities located on sites that are designated as "holy" by the mullahs?

Gee, I've been in my bomb shelter clutching my old M-14 in one hand, wearing my aluminum hat and clutching my baby blanky. Rest of the family is still outside doomed to radiation...or so I thought. Uh oh, batteries going dead, generator needs gas and I forgot the DONUTS!!

Is it safe to come out? I'm hungry.:>)

Wasn't the issue to comply or not to comply? What is there to negotiate? They were given an ultimatum and told that they needed to respond by 31 Aug. If they have failed to properly respond their "offer" should be rejected and they should be told that they have until 31 August as previously stated to indicate whether or not they will comply. What they have provided is a "non" response...

Oh damn! What am I thinking? This is the UN... never mind.

Reminds me of that skit from "Crocodile Dundee":

"Be carefull, he's got a nuclear weapon"
"Why that's not a nuclear weapon - THIS is a nuclear weapon" (as whole mountains disappear within Iran....)
