So Much For European DiplomacyVIENNA, Austria - Iran is seeking a last-minute exception to its commitment to stop all uranium enrichment activities by demanding the right to operate around two dozen centrifuges, diplomats said Wednesday. Just a little. The move comes on the eve of an IAEA board meeting that will examine Iran's compliance to international demands including calls for a suspension of all enrichment and related activities something Iran agreed to earlier this month in a deal with European negotiators. I suspect the French will "resist" as long as they did in WWII. posted by Ace at 11:17 AM
CommentsYou know what sucks - all you have to do is look at the culture of these people. I'm not even being racist/bigoted/xenophobic or anything. They're kinda like the Asian cultures (specifically China) whereby if you pay "asking" price, you're a sucker. Every single thing is negotiable, and these guys are losing face if they don't pull some kind of shit last minute. Their whole bag is if they don't make you look like a sucker in the deal, they lose face among their "compatriot" (aka. other terrorist sponsoring) countries. If you want to get an altogether way too long gist of what I'm getting at, read the "asian saga" by James Clavell. It's probably a few thousand pages, but gives some decent insight into the Asian culture of the time, much of which flows through to today. In addition, it's very interesting how I think the last book in the saga ends up in Iran. Go figure. -Fat Kid We have reactor tech (Pebble-Bed, IFR's) that doesn't produce nuclear waste that can be used for weapons. Why aren't we just offering to give 'em a couple of those for free? I'd make the offer just to call their bluff, and $20M is a small price to pay for keeping Iran from building the bomb. It would be win-win for us. Posted by: on November 24, 2004 12:32 PM
Do these people ever remember their experiences in past "negotiations" in the middle-east? I worked for several years in Saudi Arabia, and learned the hard way about contract negotiations... You reach a deal, you sign the paper, and the next day they come back with "oh, by the way... we'd like to change a couple of things in the contract." It sounds like SOP for the Middle-East to me.

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents. Erika Kirk was present.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again. You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations. That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite thanks to weft-cut loop.
This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away
I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
Classic Rock Mystery Click
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker. And I guess you think you've got it made Oh, but then, you never were afraid Of anything that you've left behind Oh, but it's alright with me now 'Cause I'll get back up somehow And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
