"... Also - to whom do you talk? There are suddenly (great!) several at odds schisms in the top clergy, each singing their own tune and refusing to hear any other.
Meanwhile there is the Hojatieh faction of Ahmadi-Nejad and ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi, who believe only death and destruction on a global scale will suffice to bring back their 12th Imam "Redeemer"..."

Good article and comments, FARS. Baker is no fool, and IMHO, is solidly in the Bush camp. He knows that the Iranian clergy are skillfull liars, and therefore knows that little or nothing will be gained by 'talking' with them.

But the act or appearance of dialogue with them shows the world that at least we're trying.

It takes time to build all the necessary 'Underground-Testing-Nukes' that we'll need to really finish-off their deep-bunker facilities. Maybe another month or so.

Stay well ........... FRegards

Mornin' Gonzo,

Interesting. It sounds like a plan to camouflage what's coming, hopefully.
