Iran given two-week deadline to end the nuclear impasse
Gaurdian UK ^ | Sunday July 20, 2008 | Julian Borger in Geneva

Iran was given a fortnight to agree to freeze its uranium enrichment programme yesterday or face further international isolation.

After a day of inconclusive talks in Geneva, a six-nation negotiating team warned the Iranian delegation that it had run out of patience and demanded a 'yes or no' answer to a proposal it put forward five weeks ago.

Today was the turning point for war. This is why the U.S. met with Iran. The green light was given today to bring this to an end. That happened when Iran said no.

'They have been told this is your last meeting. We are not doing this again. Go back to Tehran and you have a week or two at most to give a yes or no,' one official said.

These guys are TOUGH! /s

Everyone was having a cow about Bush taking advise from Obama and meeting with Tehran (via Hot Air, Bush Hope and Change) This meeting was only COVER for what will come next. What this is exactly, I don't know. But I personally think that it was a calculated move to say, Hey we met, we talked, we warned them.

Nothing. Imanutjob has learned from the past experience with Saddam in Iraq, he knows he can keep this up for at least another year or longer.

July 29th is the Lailat al Miraj. The festival celebrates the Prophet Muhammad’s journey from Mecca to Jerusalem in a single night. From Jerusalem he ascended into heaven, where he met the earlier prophets, and eventually God. Two years ago, intelligence officials worried that Iran might launch a nuclear attack on Israel. It is a week from Tuesday.

“Imanutjob has learned from the past experience with Saddam in Iraq, he knows he can keep this up for at least another year or longer.”

Exactly. And if — God forbid — Obambi wins the presidency, Iran will be home free, and everyone knows it.

In the next few days the European Union is due to approve new financial sanctions aimed at Tehran’s banking system. Those are likely to be followed by a fresh round of Security Council talks in September on stepping up international sanctions, although both Russia and China oppose radical measures.

The US and Britain have also raised the possibility of pursuing an embargo of Iran’s oil industry, including a block on imports of petrol and diesel. And the breakdown of talks is likely to strengthen the urgings of hawks in Israel for pre-emptive military action to halt Iran’s nuclear programme.

War will happen. The question is whether or not Lebanon, Syria, and other countries stay out of it. Saudi Arabia will remain neutral and secretly root that Iran is brought to their knees. Egypt will condemn the actions of Israel but secretly hope for the success of the mission. Syria is the wild card.

War will come soon. Best we just get it over with.

Until the next Photobucket warning.

Today was the turning point for war.

July 19, 2008

This is why the U.S. met with Iran.

Yes. It has nothing to do with obama's Vast Diplomatic Insights.

The green light was given today to bring this to an end.

Hold on to your seats, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

That happened when Iran said no.

Obviously, Iran learned nothing from the Gulf War, the Afghanistan War, and the Iraq War.
