Iran To World...Have We Got A Deal For You!

You know, you really have to hand it to the Mullahs. For a bunch of Jew haters, they really have some chutzpah.

First, they say "maybe we'll send our low grade nuclear fuel out of the country in exchange for fuel that can't be weaponized. Then, they say "nah, we don't want to do that".

Now they come back with a new offer and it's quite the deal.

Iran ruled out on Wednesday sending enriched uranium abroad for further processing, but would consider swapping it for nuclear fuel provided it remained under supervision inside the country, the ISNA news agency said.

The decision is expected to anger the United States and its allies, which had called on Iran to accept a deal which aimed to delay Tehran's potential ability to make bombs by at least a year by divesting Iran of most of its enriched uranium.

..."Surely we will not send our 3.5 percent fuel abroad but can review swapping it simultaneously with nuclear fuel inside Iran," Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told the ISNA students' news agency.

The United States has rejected Iranian calls for amendments and further talks on the deal. President Barack Obama said time was running out for diplomacy to resolve a long standoff over Iran's nuclear program.

Wait, we get to give you new fuel and you get to keep the old stuff that might be used to make weapons? Where do we sign up for this deal?

Actually, maybe this is a stupid idea on the part of the Mullahs. Right now the "West" under the "leadership" of Obama is pretty much willing to give them a bomb at this point, so why not just sit quietly and let Obama bid against himself?

Of course the only real way to avert a crisis is for Obama to keep is campaign pledge to meet with Ahmadinejad and bow to him (or whatever the equivalent Persian gesture is). Once he's awed by Obama's weakness cultural sensitivity, surely he will forswear his country's nuclear ambitions.

Below the fold, a visual representation of Iran's strategy for dealing with Obama.

I think I saw that gag at Hot Air first. Sorry, I don't actually remember.
