Tehran insists it wants enrichment only to generate electricity and that it does not seek nuclear arms

Yeah, THAT's it!
They're gonna "wipe Israel off the map" with electricity!

I can see that they need alternative sources of electricity, what with the price of oil so high.

Oh, wait...

I'd heard the date Mar. 6 batted around by Israel.

As usual, nothing that happens in the Middle East is exactly what it appears to be. This standoff could end in several ways and I don't expect any military action until after the mid-term election in November. Right now we're communicating with Iran and trying to make them fully understand our position. It's starting to look like Iran's strategy is to stall and outlast the Bush Administration, then hope the next President is weaker and allows Iran to build nuclear weapons and dominate Europe and the Middle East. Our strategy must be to bring this crisis to an acceptable conclusion during 2007.

In the category - Things Which Make Your Head Explode™ - who really believes anything a muslim-islamic says, privately or publicly? Their unholy book directs them to lie to Infidels, and then kill them.

Whew! Hang on, it's going to be a bumpy ride!
IMHO, sanctions or not, Israel will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. Period. Cordially, GE

Waiting on the French would put at least three generations of the U.S. in the grave before they could define "ultimatium." Russia is a bunch of sneaky bast@@ds, so no help there.

I predict Israel will show some real "Shock and Awe" in Iran nuke sites.

Roger that, Eagle One. Israelis says "Never Again," and they mean it.

(sarcasm) I didn't realize that Iran was researching ZOT cannons.(sarcasm end)

In all seriousness, if President Bush gives an ultimatum, chances are, like in Iraq, the bombs will start dropping four hours after the deadline is reached.

Actually it really is just electricity they're after. But their grid capacity is inadequate to power the new particle beam weapon they just bought from France and will use to vaporize Israel.

But can you imagine the response (or lack thereof) from the Democrats? If we declare military action?

And (GULP) done this close to the Academy Awards!?

Who cares considering the oscars have had a ratings flatline for years.
