| Oh-oh. Looks like the countdown's begun: 500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 499,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 499,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,998... VIENNA (Reuters) - The European Union will call a meeting of the U.N. nuclear watchdog's governing board for early next week to warn Iran against restarting atomic work that could be used to develop weapons, diplomats said on Thursday. Okay! Uncle! We give! We give! Just no more meetings with you people! We'll do anything! Please! Iran threatened to resume uranium processing this week. The EU responded by saying any resumption of nuclear fuel activities would mean an end to two years of talks on Iran's nuclear program. Oh, no. And end to a two year waste of time. Can we stand it! "This board meeting is just to warn the Iranians," a diplomat close to negotiations between Tehran and the EU's three biggest powers -- France, Britain and Germany -- said, adding the meeting was tentatively scheduled for Tuesday. Means nothing, really. But so does everything we've done in two years... A second diplomat confirmed there would be a meeting early next week. ...and probably another one a couple of weeks after that. We will schedule another meeting at that time. |

| #2 If the EU had any guts, the EU'd say... Look Magic Mullahs - We are the good cop... But, the US has a guy here now named Bolton... You either deal with us, or you get him... Couldn't hurt, but the EU hasn't the guts... |
