#1 Sanger of the NYT is just a couple of years behind Rantburg in the concern of nuclear proliferation in the AoE. In the Anchorage Daily News, sunday edition, they talked about the same thing as if it was new news. Since I did my homework on Rantburg years ago, I went fishing today and caught silver salmon. The MSM is like sending a radio signal to distant galaxies. They are just getting the signal now.

#2 If Condi wants to do something about it, she better get started. With the price of oil where it is, she may be spending February on a well earned but extended vacation.

#3 U.S. failing to slow nuclear programs

There's a surefire way to slow them down. The question is, would Sanger and the NYT go along?

#4 Uh, scuse me, Mr. Davis, but what does Condi have to do with the price of oil?

#5 The question is, would Sanger and the NYT go along?

Sure. As long as it involved copious amounts of hand-wringing.

#6 Collin Powell will be earning his pay if he can get the Euros to put the bong down and stop trading with Iran.

Like in Iraq, had the Euros stood up to saddam his toppling could have been somewhat bloodless.

And if they don't stand united regarding Iran's nuclear potential, a doomsday clock will strike midnight. Bummer.

Our MSM needs to take a look at this and understand whats at stake. They need to take a look a jihad/islam and think whats at stake. They need to lead the sheep.

But I think they'll still quack like a duck.
When they get their bomb it's a bad hair day girls.

#7 Jen, the administration in power is blamed for rising energy prices, regardless of complicity. Given the Kerry-loving lean of the press, you can be sure Bush et al are going to be blamed. This is an issue that is affecting the near-term performance of the economy. I thought that the Saudi's and the Bush's were such great pals. Do you think Moore was wrong on this one too???

#8 It's OUR FUCKING FAULT ? I thought the IAEA was taking care of Iran. And Russia says, NKor should have the right to nukes.

#9 Summarizing the article: "Using the sort of diplomatic approach favored by the UN, the Euros, the NYT, and candidate Kerry, the US has failed to slow..."

#10 I am a minority of one. I think our efforts have been successful. Here is why:

NK
1. NK can no longer ship weapons by sea, due to the new agreements on interdiction.
2. China has Kim on a leash to the extent that he cannot test his weapons.
3. Kim must now ship his drugs overland through China and pay a toll, which hurts his profits.
4. The US has demonstrated patience and a willingness to budge at the negotiating table without caving in.

Iran
1. The US has positioned itself to strike should the EU and UN fail to bring Iran in line.
2. The US has established a relationship with the new Iraqi leadership that respects their sovereignty and doesn't push them into the arms of Syria or Iran. More than likely, Iraq will end up being the negotiator with Iran. The US will stand in the background and loosen up taking swings with a Louisville Slugger during the negotiations.
3. The US has stood fast and not hurriedly tried to established relations an engage with Iran. Any such effort would be a demonstration of weakness. We don't need to commence bilateral negotiations with an outlaw regime just because it is arming itself. We should stand ready to disarm Iran should the "engagers" come up empty.
