The Gameshow With Iran

On Wednesday, the Bush administration stated that a proposal by Iran for the nuclear negotiations comes short of the demands by the U.N. to cease uranium enrichment. This is turn caused the US to begin planning unspecified motives and moves with other governments and nations.

Some of these moves could include sanctions imposed on and against Iran unless it reverses the course it is on now. It must also agree to halt all enrichment activities it is currently participating in. Anything related to making nuclear weapons must stop. What a surprise that is.

The proposal which was brought forth by Iran was considered as a serious one by the US, the State Department said. The statement read that it will be reviewed. But upon closer inspection the statement said that the program fell way short of any conceivable guidelines or criteria needed for the US to comply.

The statement also said that they are consulting closely, including with other members of the Security Council, on the next steps to be taken in this process. The next deadline date set by the United Nations is next Thursday. A reply is due from Tehran by then.

President Bush had met with Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice at the White House grounds. Their discussion revolved around the proposal from Iran. The talk took place with U.N. Secretary General, Kofi Annan. The telephone call was apparently started by Mr. Annan.

The Bush administration, trying to throw some weight around, has cautioned Iran that it will seek sanctions in the Security Council of the United Nations if Tehran does not stop producing materials which could be used to create nuclear weapons. Sort of sounds like a little kid warning his friend that he will tell the classroom teacher. This is quite amusing to say the least.

Later on, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice phoned Mr. Javier Solana, the senior European diplomat. What is his job? His job is to oversea the exchanges with Iran. Apparently, not even a mention of her meeting with the president or phone call with Mr. Annan was mentioned, interesting.

Iran has repeatedly rejected the statement that they are creating nuclear weapons. Well obviously, would they admit to anything even if they were or are? This is such a joke. Apparently, everyone is working with their allies, and everyone is reviewing everything right now. It sounds like a high school student council picnic.

France has recently found some backbone and stated that Iran must stop uranium enrichment at once, if it wants to continue negotiations. That is funny coming from France in my opinion. Iran has met the deadline which it created itself. Well that is an accomplishment if I ever heard one.

Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, there has been a report issued which concluded that Iran is indeed a threat and it focused on making nuclear weapons. Well which is it? Is Iran a threat or are they not? Cannot someone make up their mind anymore?
