Would you take an offer if you knew that by refusing it you'd get a better one?
Tehran's answer to the latest "generous package" offered to end its uranium-enrichment program is an emphatic "No."
The offer comes from the Six Powers, the UN Security Council's five permanent members plus Germany; it was shaped in London in days of hard bargaining between the United States and the European Union on one side and Russia and China on the other.
Yet President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is already ignoring three Security Council resolutions and swallowing the bitter medicine of sanctions. And he has reason to believe that time is on his side.
He knows America will have a new president in nine months; the "mad Bush" will be gone. Sen. Barack Obama has said he'd invite Ahmadinejad for unconditional talks, ignoring UN resolutions that call on Tehran to stop uranium enrichment. So why pay now what one may not have to pay tomorrow?

So he waits and in 9 months gets Mad McCain.
A word to the wise, don’t piss off someone like McCain, especially if he is in control of US forces.
Just a random thought...
Dec 2012, McCain has just lost his re-election bid and is itching for some payback.... this could be a very dangerous time.
