Roger Simon wonders if Iran isn’t on the brink of an “explosion”—which is a fair question, given today’s disheartening news from the diplomatic battlefront. Then there’s this, from Bloomberg News:
Iran today broke United Nations seals on advanced uranium enrichment equipment in the Isfahan nuclear facility, as the International Atomic Energy Agency debated a resolution calling on the government in Tehran to halt such work.
“The seals were broken, and our cameras and surveillance system is fully operational,” IAEA spokesman Mark Gwozdecky in Vienna said in a telephone interview. “They have indicated that they intend to operate all parts of the facility, in time, although it will take a while to get everything up and running.
Well then. At least that will give the UN, IAEA, and the group of impotent European diplomats running this comedy of errors time to draw up more paperwork.
I just hope they remember to include the phrase, “and this time we really really really mean it” in their next round of strongly-worded empty threats. Oh. And use the good paper—the stuff with the watermark and the embossed seal.
You never know. Could make all the difference.
Maybe we can send Joe Wilson so we’ll know the Iranians really aren’t up to no good. I’ll bet they make a good cup of tea. Go Joe Go!
The Europeans should note what iowahawk had al-Zarqawi say the other week: “Just because we intend to kill you last doesn’t make you our buddy.”
Turing = maybe, as in We’re fast running out of those.
When does the IAEA escalate to foot-stomping and breath-holding?
I think they have to go through the “pretty pretty please with sugar on top” round of negotiations and the “if you don’t I won’t be your friend anymore” ultimatum first, mojo.
So, if history’s any guide, should be about time for some “serious sanctions” so somebody at the U.N. can put together another tidy little (fill in the blank) for FOOD program and get on the take. Time’s a wastin’ boys!
Just wait till “Regis” hears about this . . .
Regis frightens me.
I hope he runs for President.
“W” puts on his best Alfred E. Newman face and says” What,me worry?” Why do you think we sold all of those bunker buster bombs to Israel?
I still haven’t picked up my jaw from the floor, from hearing John Kerry during the late campaign say that the U.S. couldn’t in good conscience develop bunker busting tactical nukes. I’m still shuddering from the narrowness of his defeat, too.
Persian Shrugs! OMG you totally could write headlines for Entertainment Weekly!
I wish. Those guys are pros!
Please with sugar on top hasn’t been tried yet, has it? Oh well, moslems will be moslems.

There goes the neighborhood.
Well, speak of the devil – one of the top news headlines on my Bloomberg terminal this morning is the following:
Iran Uranium Processing Raises ‘Serious Concern,’ UN Draft Resolution Says
I’m sure the mullahs are quaking in their boots, oh, yeah.
Gotta love those wacky moslems. It was reported today that the US reporter killed in Iraq last week actually was executed by Shiites for intending to marry his moslem translator. You’d read about it but the media is too focused on the crying quisling mother at Bush’s ranch.
Actually, when you think about it, maybe the Shiites did the guy a favor.
