BERLIN (Reuters) - The European Union and Washington are split over an EU proposal to offer Iran a generous package of incentives including nuclear reactors and security pledges if it stops enriching uranium, diplomats said on Saturday.

The EU draft offer of a package of incentives in exchange for a suspension of enrichment has caused a split in the West's previously united position on Iran since Washington has serious reservations about the European plan, EU diplomats said.

The plan will be discussed in London on Wednesday by senior officials from the "EU3," the United States, Russia and China, an EU diplomat familiar with the EU3's draft told Reuters.

This is a deliberate poison pill created by the Europeans to keep us in the role of bad guy. (Or logical adult, as I see it.)

"Washington has serious reservations" -- I should HOPE. What a stupid idea. Only the EU .... Inviting, of course, any other horse's butt to threaten us so THEY can get paid off.// roll eyes//

I think Iran already rejected the offer.

I'm sure the United States Senate is more than willing to accept this proposal.. They seem to be all about rewarding illegal behavior.

I thought Chamberlain was dead, Now I find he has become president of the EU.

Sometimes an enemy cant be bought off , you have to fight.

Liberals and the EU think anyone can be bought ,because they can be, but, it just doesnt work with fanatics, Oh!!! they take your money allright, but they dont stay bought.

Eurabia. They to will eventually turn against us and become Dhimmi's as the muslim population reaches critical mass.

[sgtbono2002]

Most of them have already turned against us, but thats to be expected . A coward never loves someone with courage , it just make themsleves look bad.

Warning to all rogue states who attempt to develop nuclear bomb making capabilities: Be prepared to have your a** kissed by the EU.

We cannot let Iran go unchecked. They are deliberately trying to destabilize Iraq, therefore destabilizing the region (some like Jordan have realized this and spoken out) and I am disheartened to think that the concessions have gone this far.

I guess the N. Korean model to extortion is still in practice.
