Exactly according to plan. Gotta love that Karl Rove.

Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad, has already rejected the EU's advances, even before an offer has been made. Sounds promising. I guess, if we took a hardline, we'd be making negotiations difficult. That is, if negotiations were possible. Which they aren't.

It will be a cold, cold day in Hell before the EU does any constructive thing regarding Iran.
The only thing we can hope for is that they just don't decide to GIVE Iran their OWN nuclear weapons just to save them time and money, and not inconvenience their poor muslim selves.

Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad, has already rejected the EU's advances, even before an offer has been made. So...uh...what is it exactly that the "hawks" are obstructing? This story makes no GD sense at all.
To: Tailgunner Joe
Yeah, it's all my fault. Me and George Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Halliburton.
If it wasn't for us, the world would be just peachy keen and Iran would be all nice to everyone and wouldn't hate anyone or try and kill them. They're just misunderstood. And maybe way misunderestimated.

British journalists (like those with the Financial Times) are being dishonest about "US internal divisions."

Reminds me of when that warmonger Churchill was throwing cogs in the European peace plan to give Hitler incentives (the Rhineland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Jews).
To: Tailgunner Joe
I wonder if the FT remembers what the incentives Carter offered North Korea accomplished?
