Vlad sells effort to halt Iranian nuke production
ScrappleFace
(2005-02-18) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin today offered to step in as an "honest broker" and prevent Iran from manufacturing nuclear weapons, in the wake of the failure of diplomatic attempts by several European nations and pressure from the United States.

Mr. Putin said today that Iran "does not intend to build nuclear weapons" because "it is much cheaper to buy them from our Cold War Factory Outlet. We've slashed prices on hundreds of classic Soviet nuclear delivery systems, with a variety of warhead configurations. Iran can buy now, and make no payments until January 2006. This will discourage them from developing their own nuke factories."

Brushing off talk of a Nobel Peace Prize, the former KGB chief said, "This is not a tribute to my global statesmanship. Our government has long employed diplomatic partnerships like this to defuse international tensions."

#1  Prolly still sore that Our Captured German Scientists were better than Their Captured German Scientists and they couldn't make a bomb themselves, oh no, they had to steal it. Should've fried everyone involved in that bit of espionage, too, their dogs, cats, friends, acquaintances, the lot.

Ott rulez... but Iowahawk is gaining, heh.

Europe
Europa: Is it possible that Bush wasn't entirely wrong?

#1  Nope. Article 11578 of the EU Constitution clearly provides: "Bush is entirely wrong."

#2  An IHT (an extension of the NYT) probably says more about the views of the US Left than it does about Euro opinion.

#3  europeans are so focused on each other's crotches, that they have lost all vision. Their ONLY purpose anymore, is to find a new dick to shove up their ass. Anything outside themselves doesn't matter. They can practice their perverted desires under tyranny as well as under freedom...... so, who cares what goes on...."as long as I can get a new dick to shove up my ass?"

#5  Is our beloved Commander-in-Chimp(tm) about to set out on a fence-mending expedition or is this an exploratory mission to see if our european allies - if that is the right word - have come to their senses?
