| Say! How're those EU negotiations with Iran going? Is it true the head of their negotiating team's the Dark Lord of the Sith? |

| #11 Zen - Mikey has decided it's a foregone conclusion and seems unworried by it. Must have an "in" at the UN. Mumm's the word. |

| #9 What .com said. Europe's rectal-cranial insertion factor is so acute that oral re-emergence is merely a matter of time. Mike S, your confidence in Europe's approach appears to be sorely misplaced. I suggest you reconsider the ramifications of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons and adjusting your world-view accordingly. Do you honestly discount the utterly insane consequences of Iran going nuclear or are you merely blinded to that possibility? I mean no insult but sincerely question your mentative capabilities if you are willing to disregard the threat that a nuclear Iran poses. |

| #6 Tom - go round to Mike's house and threaten to kill him. He'll probably give you a DVD player. |

| #5 So, Mikey, you've gone from questions-mode to article-quoting mode. Would you like to clue us in on why you picked those two paragraphs out of the entire readily-accessible article? |

| #4 From the article: Europe is pressing Iran for concessions on its nuclear program, which the United States claims is aimed at producing atomic weapons. In exchange for nuclear guarantees, the Europeans are offering Iran technological and financial support and talks on a trade deal. ... Iran suspended uranium enrichment and all related activities in November to build trust, reduce international suspicions and avoid UN Security Council sanctions. The International Atomic Energy Agency agreed to police the suspension. Under an agreement reached with France, Germany and Britain, which negotiated on behalf of the European Union, Iran will continue suspension of its enrichment activities during negotiations with the Europeans about EU economic, political and technological aid. Iran has said it will decide within three months whether to continue the suspension. . |

| #3 Krutz, I misread the heading. I thought it said Iran said it would. |

| #1 Good. Clarification is good. It's clear. This has been a consistent message now for the last 3 or 4 months. When the E3 pull their collective heads out of their asses and acknowledge this obvious fact, perhaps they will let go of the fantasy of their negotiations having any effect, whatsoever, and either join us in a rational and aggressive effort or, if the politics of their constituencies is so rabidly blind as to make that impossible - a creature of their own devise, they will Shut The Fuck Up - and remove any personnel from Iranian soil. Collateral damage should be minimized. On second thought, France can just STFU and go away - I would not trust collaborating with them in any degree or with any intel even remotely sensitive. I recall a phrase which applies: Lead, Follow, or Get Out Of The Way. It's time. Choose. |
