Iran given two-week deadline to end the nuclear impasse

Gaurdian UK ^ | Sunday July 20, 2008 | Julian Borger in Geneva

[Perdogg]

Iran was given a fortnight to agree to freeze its uranium enrichment programme yesterday or face further international isolation.

After a day of inconclusive talks in Geneva, a six-nation negotiating team warned the Iranian delegation that it had run out of patience and demanded a 'yes or no' answer to a proposal it put forward five weeks ago.

"....one official said."

"Another Western source..."

Piffle...

The Guardian, the UK's premier leftist propaganda source.

What they've done by meeting with Iran is proved the futility of negotiations with the mad mullahs on this issue. They've taken it to the defensible point where they can even say, “We did talk to them. They still refused to have a transparent program that'd assure the world.” What happens next? In the short term, more sanctions. In the longterm, probably an aerial onslaught unlike the world has ever seen that will destroy all of Iran's military infrastructure.

Let us hope that someone with some Cajones gets this taken care of pronto!

Ya know, I keep thinking and thinking and thinking .... And I can't come up with a more inept, inconsequential, incompetent bunch of people than these Western negotiators. No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to do it. Can someone help me out here?

I start with the Keystone Kops, but they look downright rocket surgeony compared to the negotiators. The three stooges look downright brainy and ballsy in comparison. I'm at a loss.

The Iranians have been playing these "negotiators" for fools for about 30 years now on one issue or another and they keep 2-weeking the West to death.

These "negotiators" don't seem to understand that while they're being played for fools, Iran plods along day by day on their work and one day, the "negotiators" are going to wake up to an Iranian fait accompli announcing their first nuclear test (with plenty of help from China, Pak, NK) and then what are these negotiators going to do?

It wasn't enough that Larinjani, the Iranian negotiator went on European TV laughing at this process, literally LAUGHING at these "negotiators" and their antics and a month later, the "negotiators" went back to the table and sat down talking with the Iranians like nothing had happened.

The only thing that these "negotiators" are "negotiating" is graves for a whole lot of infidels when the Islamic Republic finaly gets the bomb. RESTRAINT for infidels from the Mad Mullahs?????? Yeah, right!

These "negotiators" apparently have little to no idea of what a dangerous game they're playing. Maybe they do ... and just don't care.

Syria is the wild card.

I agree 100% with your post but would throw Russia into the mix of wild cards. They've been rattling some military sabers recently and an attack by Russia (Biblical nation of Gog) would fall right in line with end times prophesy. So would an attack by Syria whose capital city of Damascus suffers utter destruction in end times Biblical prophesy. The Isaiah 17 is the chapter, IIRC. Such prophesy could be fulfilled in a retaliatory strike by Israel in the form of a nuke strike against Damascus.

Two weeks ... and then what exactly?

Then they get put on "double secret probation".

[Glenn]

Under that offer, sponsored jointly by the US, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China, Iran would not expand its uranium enrichment programme,

Which is it? End the programme or just maintain the status quo?

“Obviously, Iran learned nothing from the Gulf War, the Afghanistan War, and the Iraq War. “
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.............
LOL they learned plenty - on how “shock and awe “has turned into PC false war. Heck we prosecute the fighters who go out and kill the enemy -while allowing sanctuary for Iran and Syria and Pakistan tribal areas.
Bush made bold statements about siding with our enemies -
made a good start, then was neutered and turned into the
a sick joke of a man who has no plan to win - just not to lose while in office- Our bravest men are in battle while cowards rule the Pentagon and Washington.
Until we take out the leadership of axis of evil this WOT is becoming something evil - no win - endless - and
corrupting of the military. Wag the Dog fits very nicely now.
IMO Bush,McCain,Obuma will never attack Iran or syria or the snake pit in Pakistan.

Today was the turning point for war. This is why the U.S. met with Iran.

Uh-oh. Is the recent peace and calm we've had here about to end?

[pleikumud]

Then the US will offer Iran a bribe at taxpayers’ expense.

>>>>>The festival celebrates the Prophet Muhammad’s journey from Mecca to Jerusalem in a single night. From Jerusalem he ascended into heaven, where he met the earlier prophets,<<<<<

If nothing else, the West should be protecting the historic sites of our civilization and Christendom from desecration by Muslims.

The last time they got their hands on the Christian Church Of The Nativity in Jerusalem, they turned it into an outhouse and basically trashed as much as they could.

IMO anything Mighty Mo is alleged to have done in Jerusalem is just one more ahistoric hallucination springing from his syphillis infections.

Yes, but how did that work out for Saddam?

[Allegra]

Saddam who?

[RetSignman]

Not well, but Iran is running the clock out so he can finish his proven nuclear ambitions, Saddam Hussein was stalling because he didn’t want to be exposed to be weaker than his rhetoric even though he had the same ambitions.

Time is of the essence in the case of Iran.

The 6 nations are US, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China. Iran knowns it is not hard to play all the players against each other. China and Russia will try to obstruct and delay as much as possible. France and Germany don’t have the backbone to be tough. The US and Britain are busy in Iraq and Afghanistan. The only wildcard is Israel, which isn’t even at the talks.

If the EU really wants to put presure on Iran then Germany and France should start mobilizing their militaries for deployment to the Middle East. They should lead a EU force to scare the crap out of Iran.
