[...] Khamenei’s already served notice that Iran won’t give up enrichment, so Europe can go one of two ways now: indulge the spoiled child by allowing the U.S. to drop out or show some “tough love” by making U.S. involvement a condition of its own participation. Too early to tell which it’ll be — but I know how I’m betting. [...]

The “nuclear defense” remark is a confession that Iran has violated all treaties which they have signed on this subject. Time to push them hard.

Perhaps America’s troops in Iraq will come home via Bandar Abbas.

The offer of incentives to Iran was nothing more than giving them enough rope to hang themselves.

Spurius, I unfortunately agree with you. Let’s just pray for some divine protection. This confrontation is, IMO, inevitable, and will make Iraq seem like a picnic.

Thank you, Jimmy Carter.

Why am I not surprised by any of this?

Anyone who actually believes that the mullahs have even the remotest intention of negotiating in good faith is a fool. All the jawboning we’re seeing is nothing more than a footrace between ourselves and the mullahs:

- We’re hoping to jump through all the diplomatic flaming hoops (all the requisite and futile UN resolutions, as well as letting the European weenies talk themselves into exhaustion) in time to strike before they finish the “Islamic Bomb;”

- They’re hoping to string us along with idiotic “negotiations” long enough to complete that bomb before we can muster enough domestic will and international support to strike.

War with the mullahs is inevitable. The only worthwhile questions worth pondering are (1) when it’ll begin, and (2) whether it’ll be us or the Israelis who take the lead. Everything else is either academic or a distraction.

“What’s wrong with Saudi Arabia or Iraq obtaining this capability?”

Not much, actually, Just the end of the world.

I see this “proposal” as GWB’s counter-move to the “call to Islam” he got from the wackjob leader of Iran.Their refusal,if confirmed,will clear the way to taking them out.
