Iran Stalling? Really?

This is unbelievable. Not really.

Hey folks,

{Sigh} I'm really starting to feel like a broken record here. Iran, is NOT going to stop their quest to obtain and USE a Nuclear Weapon against Israel First and US second. They will not be stopped until they ARE stopped. Here is the latest Big News Surprise. According to Reuters - Iran tells U.N. it wants nuclear fuel first: envoys By Louis Charbonneau

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – Iran has told the U.N. nuclear watchdog it wants fresh fuel for a reactor in Tehran before it will agree to ship most of its enriched uranium stocks to Russia and France, diplomats said Friday.

In what the International Atomic Energy Agency has described as an initial response to an IAEA-drafted nuclear fuel proposal, Western diplomats said on condition of anonymity that major Western powers found the Iranian demand for immediate access to fresh atomic fuel unacceptable.

Tehran insists its nuclear program is peaceful and has refused to halt it, while Western powers fear Iran is covertly developing atomic weapons.

THEY ARE. No fear involved here folks. Not FEAR, but FACT!

"The Iranians want to get enriched uranium fuel for their reactor first before they send it abroad, which simply isn't acceptable," one diplomat told Reuters.

Another diplomat confirmed the remarks as accurate.

The diplomats said it was unclear whether the proposal was a serious one or if the Iranians were trying to drag out the negotiating process.

"There is some impatience. How many days we have here is not clear but Iran must soon show it will work with the proposal that is on the table," a Western official in Washington told Reuters.

"We will know probably by early next week -- are they serious, are they coming back with things that are within bounds or are they sticking to a position that is unacceptable?"

The press office of Iran's U.N. mission was not immediately available for comment. Nor was Iran's IAEA envoy in Vienna.

IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei, who is in New York for a series of meetings at U.N. headquarters, also declined to comment when asked by Reuters about Tehran's response.

The IAEA proposal calls for Iran to transfer about 75 percent of its known 1.5 metric tons of low-enriched uranium to Russia for further enrichment by the end of this year, then to France for conversion into fuel plates for a reactor in Tehran that produces radio isotopes for cancer treatment.

Who's brilliant idea was it for them to send it to Russia to begin with? What is the point of that anyway. It doesn't matter though. They will not do it.

"Any proposal that moves away from this is unacceptable," the Western official in Washington told Reuters.

"We are prepared to allow ElBaradei to work to try to get this proposal that was agreed upon in Vienna ... to be pushed forward in terms of implementation. However, this is not an endless process."

The Obama administration has said it favors talks with Iran rather than the more unpalatable alternatives of sanctions or military action, but White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Friday that President Barack Obama's "time is not unlimited."

"This was not about talking for the sake of talking. This was about reaching an agreement that just a few weeks ago seemed to be something that the Iranians wanted," Gibbs said.

Want Iran WANTED? You are an Idiot. Obama is ignorant. That is why they tell you these things. YOU believe them.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged Tehran earlier this week to accept the IAEA proposal, saying it would "constitute an important confidence-building measure."

EU leaders urged Iran to accept the IAEA deal, saying progress would help open the door to further cooperation.

NO FORMAL RESPONSE FROM IRAN

Diplomats said Iran has yet to give a formal response to the U.N.-drafted nuclear fuel proposal after signaling it would do so this week but has leaked other demands for major changes that could unravel the tentative pact.

Western diplomats complained Iran had shown scant interest in following through on a plan they saw as crucial to demonstrating Tehran's nuclear ambitions are peaceful.

Iran's official IRNA news agency said Friday that Tehran had not yet given its final response and was ready for more talks. The report suggested Iran would remain evasive.

"Even if a next round of talks was held, Iran would announce its opinion and not an answer," IRNA quoted one source as saying.

French Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero,,,,,

You know what folks, you want to read this, click the link. It is pretty pointless. Iran hasn't changed, nor are they about to. They are not nicer or more willing to talk with us because Obama became President. They are even bolder. They, just like those stepping up attacks on our Soldiers in Afghanistan, do NOT fear Obama. They KNOW he will do nothing. Well, maybe make a speech here or there, but they know he will not confront them. They see him as a coward. He will smile and wave to them. They will smile and wave back. But when it comes down to ANYTHING that will slow down the progress of their goal, they will balk. They do not care what Obama wants. They will continue until someone steps up and makes it impossible for them to continue.

Every time I hear a story like this one, a week or so ago, that Iran has agreed on ANYTHING, said they want to talk to Obama, is a victory for Obama, ETC., all I, or you, have to do is wait a bit. A day, week, goes by, and you find that it was premature, false, or just insanely idiotic. Just like Obama and Crew, they have an agenda, and they are sticking to it.
