..ic U-turn after being so adamant they wouldn't have any discussions with Iran. So much for their word being their bond.

Isn't it clear who now has the upper hand in this fiasco?

recently released Pentagon report is raising new worries that Iran has been operating several large facilities designed solely for the purpose of enriching mass quantities of high-grade students."We have reason to believe that specially trained Iranian science teachers are taking raw, unrefined brain power and bombarding it with knowledge at accelerated levels," said U.S. Undersecretary Of Defense For Intelligence Stephen Cambone at a Tuesday press conference. "If current levels of student concentration remain this high, Iran could be a mere five to eight years away from developing an atomic scientist."Leading analysts believe that the teachers are using a widely applied enrichment process in which students are isolated from such elements as family, play, and cartoons, and are rotated through seven separative work units over the course of each day.
This cycle is repeated for months, until the students are made highly reactive to reading matter, which enables them to absorb large amounts of information in short periods of time.

The students are then continually exposed to heavy material, taught to achieve critical thought, and finally graduate to a state of explosive productivity.

The U.S. stopped enriching its students decades ago, and we call upon Iran to do the same," Bush said.

Thanks for the link, but I didn't see that at all. The Iranian government has never officially supported their indigenous radicals (not even the students who took over the US embassy) but their unwillingness or inability to put a leash on them is a major problem.

Hopefully, increased diplomatic contact will make it un-necessary for us to conquer and subdue their two-bit country (even though we need them to complete a three country matching set). The American people are not natural imperialists: we don't like to live in foreign countries like the British do and we don't like to foot the bill for some members' of our governments' imperial ambitions.

It may be your interpretation that its tails between the legs, but it may be first stage diplomacy to keep the situation cool. There's a vast difference between western countries having terrible weapons, and that includes Russia, but when countries supporting terrorism are working towards them, then when we should start being afraid.

So you believe we should ... What?

With you there would be no way we could 'approach' Iran with out you having something to say out of the side of his mouth.

Or perhaps you would rather we did nothing and watched Iran get nukes and use them on you.

Bush is just listening to the people and he's dammed if he does and dammned if he doesn't.

Besides it's good to cover your back before or if we strike. No stone was left unturned

That's "Americans" to you. We only allow our friends to call us "Yanks". Were you denied a visa? Hmmm?
