Iran delays formal response on nuclear program
2006-06-22
Iran will respond in mid-August to the package of incentives on its nuclear program offered by the West, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday, but the United States immediately accused Tehran of dragging its feet. "We are studying the proposals. Hopefully, we will present our views about the package by mid-August," Mr. Ahmadinejad told a crowd in western Iran in a speech broadcast live on state television.

U.S. President George W. Bush, speaking at an annual U.S.-European Union summit in Vienna, said that seemed "like an awfully long time" to wait for an answer. "It shouldn't take the Iranians that long to analyze what's a reasonable deal," Mr. Bush said.

#2  IMO Iran = North Korea > know the Russians-Chicomsd need General Winter + Colonel Mud, etal. to offset US-Western battlespace superiority or dominance. North Korea won't go to war unless someone guarantees to mil protect their ass from USA-Allies, neither will the Iranians.

#1  The Iranians are working around the clock 24/7 to perfect their quest for The Bomb, and now they know if they can delay "W"'s intrusion into the equation to as close to the elections in November as possible...big MO (media & public opinion) will ease their plight!
