EU-Iran tribute talks set for Thursday

Aethelred the Unready Update: "EU-Iran atom talks set for Thursday," from the Hizballah News Agency, aka Reuters, with thanks to JE:

VIENNA (Reuters) - The EU will resume crunch talks with Iran over its disputed nuclear work on Thursday, officials said, as world powers at an atomic watchdog meeting remained divided over whether to crack down on Tehran.

European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana was likely to try to pin down Iranian negotiator Ali Larijani on what EU diplomats said was a tentative offer from him to consider temporarily halting enrichment of uranium for nuclear fuel.

Yeah, pin him down, Solana. Make him tell you: will he let you pay him tribute or not? And don't take no for an answer. Make him understand that you have a backbone of steel about paying him bribes, and will not be deterred.

Yikes, the sarcasm positively drips from your prose, Robert. But why not? It’s certain called for in this matter and a thousand others every day in connection with the Religion of Peace.

Writing a biography of Mohammed would make anybody cynical. I admire you for not having been checked into rehab coming out of that project.

ROTFLMFAO. Funny, but quite true. The more one delves into Islam, the deeper one gets into the dark side. George Lucas most definitely had Islam in mind when he produced Star wars, just like Gene Rodenberry had to have Islam in mind with the Borg.

An organization which is worth keeping an eye one, especially since it is Islamic dominated and supports Iran is the Non Aligned Movement

Anyway don't expect anything out of Europe, since Iran is a major trading partner, IRNA

Germany-Iran-Sanctions The German DIHK Chamber of Industry and Commerce on Friday warned that economic sanctions on Iran could threaten more than 10,000 German jobs and have a severe impact on the economic growth of Germany.

"The DIHK estimates that losing the Iran market could endanger over 10,000 jobs. German exports (to Iran) were already down almost 10 percent over the first half of 2006," the DIHK press statement said.

The Berlin-based DIHK called for a negotiated settlement of the Iranian nuclear dispute.

Iran was the largest market for German exports in the Middle East last year - ahead of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

German companies exported worth 4.4 billion euros of goods among them industrial machinery, automobiles, steel and chemical products.

Some 50 German firms have their own branch offices in Iran and more than 12,000 firms have their own trade representatives in the country.

Iran is France's primary trade partner in Mideast, French minister

You can find much the same information in Google use the search term (country of interest) trade with Iran.

It's Lenin's dictum at work, you know the one about capitalists (conservatives, right wingers) selling the rope that will hang them.

I thought the Security Council had agreed with one another, as a precondition of extending yet another deadline, to support the imposition of sanctions on Iran if Iran were to default on said deadline. When Iran did ignore the deadline, China and Russia quickly backed away from imposing sanctions. What a slap in the face from these "favored-trade nations."

Curbing nuclear Iran is probably the single most critical UN action of the millennium, and we're excusing this blatant betrayal from two permanent members of the Security Council, who were clearly acting in their own self (petro) interest.

Now what?

The UN is a farce, and we're f*cking idiots for continuing to host that hypocracy on our own soil.

A MOHAMMEDAN SOLDIER OF ALLAH IS TO 'PROTECT' US FROM the lunatic Ahmad-in-jihad who is hell-bent to bring us Armageddon and the Mahdi? Criminal stupidity!

Is that not as if we were to put Hugo Chavez in charge of the CIA?
