This isn’t about nukes (that is the window dressing), it is about IRAN opening an oil exchange competing w/ our NYMEX via OIL sold in euro’s not US DOLLARS!  That is the NUKE destruction to our economy, literally. If the US is forced to buy oil in EURO’s it will cost you twice what it is now.
Sincerely,
Mother of US Special Forces Soldier

What I have gathered from the European press is that the ayatollahs may consider not-enriching only if EU can guarantee that USA or its clint state, Israel, not bomb Iran. Can you believe they do not trust totally democratic and transparent USG.

In any case, Ahmadinejad wrote a letter, Condi made her counter offer. Diplomacy is done! Can we bomb the suckers now?

frankly I would prefer that we start the bombing Immediately

We are living in a world where more lies are told than the truth.Miss Rice are only telling lies about IRAN.We are in no position to force IRAN to do anything. We need to get our troops out of IRAQ and bring them home. The AMERICAN PEOPLE need to force the truth out of this administration.

Well BUSH are you finally going to DO YOUR JOB without military POWER…....and talk, COMMUNICATE to Iran?  Try it you just might like George.

Or are you going to take the immature way out with more GUNS? Don’t HIND behind all those followers in the White House either. Remember don’t take the vacation in August!

Signed,
The US Americans, by the billions.

ElBaradei: Iran not an immediate nuclear threat

LONDON, May 31 (IranMania) - Iran does not pose an immediate nuclear threat and the world must act cautiously to avoid repeating mistakes made with Iraq and North Korea, the head of the UNnuclear watchdog agency said, Reuters reported.

Mohamed ElBaradei, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the world shouldn’t “jump the gun” with erroneous information as he said the U.S.-led coalition did in Iraq in 2003, nor should it push the country into retaliation as international sanctions did in North Korea.

“Our assessment is that there is no immediate threat,” the winner of the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize told a forum organized by the Monterey Institute of International Studies south of San Francisco. “We still have lots of time to investigate.”

“You look around in the Middle East right now and it’s a total mess,” he said. “You can not add oil to that fire.”

The recent violent history in Iraq bears an important lesson for diplomacy with neighboring Iran, the diplomat said. “We should not jump the gun. We should be very careful about assessing the information available to us,” he said.

The Bush administration led a coalition into Iraq in 2003 saying President Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction. No such weapons were found, Reuters noted.

“I ask myself every day if that’s the way we want to go in getting rid of every single dictator,” ElBaradei said.

While it was unclear whether Iran ultimately intended to redirect its development of nuclear power into a weapons system, it was clear there was no danger of that right now, he said.

The five UN Security Council permanent powers and Germany, trying to curb Tehran’s nuclear program, are planning to meet in Vienna on Thursday to try to finalize a package of incentives for Iran to halt uranium enrichment along with penalties if it keeps defying international pressure, Reuters added.

ElBaradei said he believed a majority in the Iranian leadership was still interested in a negotiated solution and normal relations with the world. The United States is pressing for tough UN sanctions if Iran does not comply.

“It would be terrible” to try to strengthen sanctions, which could force Iran to retaliate, he said.

“We have learned some lessons from North Korea,” he said. “When you push a country into a corner, you are giving the driver’s seat to the hard-liners there.”

LoL.  The game is afoot! 

It’s all about position; and frankly, the Iranians are calling the shots.  The Iranians have the LEGAL right under international law (and treaty) to pursue ALL phases of the nuclear fuel cycle (to include enrichment).

When the U.S. says it is referring Iran to the UN for its enrichment activity, I often wonder on what bases.  What, exactly, is the complaint - “we don’t trust the Iranians”?

So if the WORLD wants the Iranians to give up a legal entitlement it’s going to cost DEARLY; and can you blame the Iranians?  And with the Dimoana facility just to the West, the Iranians proclaiming their right to produce nuclear fuel is an easy sell.

Meanwhile, across the border in Iraq, the U.S. continues to be caught-up in the ultimate of quagmires; no longer looking for phantom WMD, but killing and being killed none-the-less.  This scenario plays well into the Iranians bargaining position hand, and we can thank the Bush administration for that!

There’s a lot of killing going-on in Iraq, and much like what happened to the Soviets in Afghanistan, many countries, and groups are taking the opportunity to ‘tag’ the U.S..  At this point in the game, I doubt seriously if US troops are being targeted by “Saddam Dead-Enders”.

What we have here, ladies and gentlemen is a False-Flag operation bonanza, and just about everyone is in on the action - with the marines taking the hits.  There’s too much at stake and everyone wants a piece.  Unfortunately, Washington has placed our troops smack-dab in the middle of this mess, and we are bleeding badly!

one big mistake to negotiate with a man who throws out defamations toward other countries threatens to destroy them and any one else who interferes with him.
