#4 Iran getting close to putting al-Qaeda on trial

As is being made very clear, Iran will do anything with the least resemblance to what Europe hopes from them in order that they might gain more time for fabricating a nuclear device.

This is blatant accommodation and merely stalling for time. Nobody should be fooled by such palliative measures.

#5 Right on, Zenster. Smoke and mirrors, on Iran's part.

Iran needs more time to work things out with China, and China needs more time to play Iran right without being discovered by the greater powers. Iran gets what they want and so does China. If China can effect a big blow, and blame it on a rogue state, it serves them well. And the Iranian mullasses are hoping to deflect attention away from themselves, and come away with an accusation in the back pocket for the political gaming: "See! We have cooperated with the West, and still they wish to aggress against us! Imperialists! Oil-mongers!" Too bad the Iranians don't see what the Chinese are all about, and I'm not sure anybody else does either. The Chinese make the Islamics seem "warm and fuzzy" by comparison. Good thing they don't have the ability to carry out their aims (yet).

Preach it, ex-lib!

I've been screaming this from the rooftops and nobody seems to be purchasing a clue. The Chinese are the real terrorists. Militant Islam is just a conspicuously violent religious convulsion, while China is a dire and potent threat to the entire world. Iran is merely another North Korea in the litter of rabid Rotweillers being suckled by communist China.

#7 So that would mean what, caviar, a Mercedes, and a golden crescent necklace for a parting gift?

#8 Riiiiiggttt. Suuuurrre they will.

Right after the sun rises in the west, hell freezes over, and the law of gravity is repealed by voter-initiated referendum.
