Iran Given Last Chance to Halt Uranium Enrichment

[Career Prole]

VIENNA (Reuters) - Senior officials from France, Britain and Germany will meet Iran's top nuclear negotiator in Vienna Thursday to offer Tehran a final chance to halt uranium enrichment plans or face possible U.N. sanctions. "This Thursday, there will be a meeting of our political directors," British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw told a London news conference with German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer.

The IAEA has been investigating Iran's nuclear program for more than two years. While it has uncovered many previously hidden activities that could be related to a weapons program, it has found no "smoking gun" to support U.S. allegations Tehran has an active atom bomb program.

Smoking gun? Chimp don't need no stinking smoking gun! :shrug:

1. Message to Iran: Stop producing enriched uranium, or else...

...We'll say "Stop producing enriched uranium" to you again.

8. ... then we'll hold our breath and cross our eyes ...

... and THEN we'll say "Stop producing enriched uranium" to you again.

(If this makes anyone who is reading this wan't to "kick Iran's ass" please don't. Unlike Iraq's ass, which was lying half dead on the ground and couldn't get up when Bush kicked it, Iran's ass is still standing tall.)

2. We hate eurpoe

unless they take care of things chimp doesn't want to deal with.

[alevensalor]

3. So, Iran is next

Great, we could always use another preemptive strike against a nation, so that the rest of the world hates us more than they do now.

Or, if there was a smoking gun this time, wouldn't that in some small way justify Iraq? They'd definitely spin it that way.

4. No amount of neocon spin will EVER justify Iraq. N/T

5. Ultimatums don't work

If Iran has no reason to trust the West, why would it give up it's legal rights to enrich uranium?

How can Iran be given reason to trust the West...?

[aneerkoinos]

7. I answer my own question

by one modest suggestion: EU giving safety guarantees, PUBLICLY, to Iran against possible US/Israel aggression. And how likely is that?

[jmowreader]

11. By deporting Dim Son to Iraq?

Along with his entire maladministration, perhaps?

6. JK forgot Poland.

Dim Son forgot Iran and North Korea.
Gee...who fucked up worse? :eyes:

[bemildred]

9. Iran given YET ANOTHER "last chance" to Halt Uranium Enrichment.

(Corrected headline.)

10. Ooooookay...

"Tehran says it wants to produce low-enriched uranium fuel only for power generation, but Washington says it has a covert plan to produce highly enriched fuel for atomic weapons."

Tell us what you have, Washington...and we'll tell you if we believe you. Are you going to show us your forged "yellowcake" papers with the "Q" in Iraq whited out and an "N" written in?
I don't know how to tell you this, but your credibility really really sucks right now.

[leesa]

12. And why can't Iran have nukes?? Israel has some pointed right at them

We have them and Lord knows we don't behave responsibly.

Are they in violation of some rule made before last month? Israel has MANY UN violations. Why aren't we sanctioning them?

[Career Prole]

13. Just can't seem to get a sanction vote (or even a condemnation vote)

over that last hurdle...the U.S. veto. :shrug:

[flaminbats]

14. nukes for hostages!

but Iran has been our biggest supporter in the Iraqi war :yourock:

[cosmicone]

15. You better stop being bad boys or

we'll deport a very very bad and violent chimp into your territory.
