#1 In addition to the suspension, the agreement commits Iran to support two U.S.-led endeavors: the war against al Qaeda and efforts to establish a democratic government in Iraq. Iran is holding several senior al Qaeda leaders and exerts significant influence in neighboring Iraq.

This is a parody, right? From Scrappleface, not the Post?

#3 While the IAEA inspections will continue, Iran and Europeâs three main powers will begin talks for a final accord that would give Iran lucrative trade deals with the EU when it permanently halts its nuclear work

These deals are lucrative for the Europeans. The mullahs have already lined their pockets with millions each and couldn't care less about the Iranian people's economic well-being. It's Europe that's been bought off here, not the mullahs.

#4 is that El-Baradei on the right? Looks like one of Ritter's "playmates" on the left. Love it

#5 These deals are lucrative for the Europeans.

What's amazing to me is that even after having gone down this route once before with Saddam Hussein, they are doing it yet again with the Mad Mullahs of Iran. It's almost as if experience has no effect on these guys.

Hell yes! We're talking even bigger money! What's not to get?

#7 Iran will continue to play the UN like a bongo drum (with compliments to Hugh Hewitt) until they have the bomb.

El Baradei couldn't find the mens room without two admin assistants and a seeing eye dog. He blew it with NorKor and he had no clue of the extent of the Libyan program. He has also done wonders with India and Pakistan and their programs.

Where does the UN get this idiots? First Hans "Mr Magoo" Blix and now "I have no clue what I am doing" El Baradei. Saints on motor cycles the potential fate of millions of people rests in the hands of this nincompoop and Iran goes humming along......them and NorKor.

Are we sure Elbarawhatzhisname is not on the take from Iran? I wonder how many villas in the south of France it cost Libya for him to ignore that program? Do you suppose Kofi "gee I am so sorry Rwanda" Annan got his palm greased by NorKor?

Can we just tell those bozos that our next check to the UN is dependent upon them doing something honest and positive about these sand dwelling psychopaths and their nuclear toys???

I personally think Syria is next. Then we foment a little internal civil war in Iran like the CIA did in the good old days and see how long the mullahs and nut jobs stay in power. I bet Eastern Syria is full of Iraqi munitions and fun stuff.

#8 France no longer has a moral compass. Just follow the money -- that's where they're going.

El Baradei and Blix are just pompous bureaucrats who have honed the skill of being able to say retarded things with a straight face. For example, "no evidence that declared materials have been diverted".

#9 It's almost as if experience has no effect on these guys.

I disagree completely. The experience of dealing with tyrannical regimes has been cost-free for the Europeans and they've clearly learned the lesson that it will likely continue to be so in the future. Massive Iranian-backed strikes in Europe are probably the only hope of knocking them off this course but that's not going to happen because the Euroweenies and the mullahs have jointly designated the US as the primary target.
