I wonder if Benedict and the Vatican have kicked off their nuclear program yet.

Speaking just days before a deadline set by world powers for Iran to reply to proposals to curb its nuclear ambitions, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country’s supreme leader, said on Wednesday that Iran would “continue with its path” of nuclear work, which includes the enrichment of uranium.

I wonder if we have a path regarding Iran that we can continue?

that it stop enriching uranium ahead of a deadline set to expire this weekend.

Deadline.....or else what? None of this has any teeth.

Iran need to be told flat out. You will stop enriching uranium on August 1, 2008. Else you die. Your facilities will be destroyed and you personally will be captured or killed, preferably captured and then killed. This deadline is not negotiable, and is absolute. With the timing of military action to be at our convienience....and kill them and explode their facilities the day before the deadline.

Do islamic leaders care that much about generating electricity that they have to make statements about it? /s

Dear Foggy Bottom,

Your negotiations are not f***ing working.

Don't you get it? You cannot reason with religious fanatics!

Iran is not going to compromise. That's their final position and sanctions won't stop Iran. Only force is going to keep The Bomb out of the mullahs' hands now.
