| European Union wants to sell Iran an Airbus plane as an incentive to move forward its nuclear talks, German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder told a summit with US President George W Bush on Tuesday, Reuters reported. A participant quoted the German leader as saying the EU needed to offer incentives in non-sensitive goods to make it difficult for Iran to walk out of negotiations for curbing its nuclear program and ending uranium enrichment that could be used to make a bomb. Schroeder cited as an example selling one Airbus now and raising the prospect of further aircraft deliveries if the talks were concluded successfully, the source said.

| #9 Let's threaten these Euroweenies with our ICBMs and see what they'll offer us. They don't like us anyway. And if they do give us stuff, we can just repeat the process later and get even more goodies. |

| #8 EU needed to offer incentives in non-sensitive goods to make it difficult for Iran to walk out of negotiations I can see it now. They get the Iranians in a room with a two way mirror. Gerd says, "Look, Mo, I'm out on a limb with this deal. My sales manager has made me take a commission cut it's so sweet." Mohammed says, "Gerd, nice goods, but I need something with real muscle. I'm gonna build my own." Gerd's face pales, "Let me go down and see if I can get the manager to budge." Clip, clop, clip, clop. "George, I think he ready..." "No deal, Gerd." Clip, Clop, clip clop. "F'n cowboy." |

Schroeder really believes this? The guy is even more stupider than I thought. |

| #1 If anyone knows about the benefits of appeasement, it's the Germans. Maybe they forgot who tends to benefit. |
