Khatami: Iran Ready to Provide Nuke 'Guarantees'
2004-08-28
via ABC
TEHRAN, Iran Aug. 28, 2004 — Iran is ready to provide "guarantees" it won't seek nuclear weapons, President Mohammad Khatami said Saturday, urging the United Nations' nuclear watchdog agency to close its investigation into the country's program when it meets next month.

The United States, which says Iran is trying to develop weapons, is pushing the International Atomic Energy Agency to refer Tehran to the U.N. Security Council, which could impose sanctions. The IAEA has already sharply criticised Iran for not coming clean about its nuclear program, and European countries have increasingly expressed concern.
Coming from Khatami, this means, uh, nothing. Not a damned thing. The timing just might be related to the Israeli statements in the BBC story, however, lol!

#8  Khatami also said the United States needs Iranian help with Iraq and Afghanistan, both of which share borders with Iran.

Which sounds to me like you're surrounded?

#7  Remember that they are making statements to Infidels or those they consider apostates, so they get a pass. Elementary, my dear Watson.

The Mad Mullahs are going for Nukes. Bet your booties on it and prepare for the worst. This ain't no drill, Jack.

#5  "As Muslims, we can't use nuclear weapons. One who can't use nuclear weapons won't produce them."

See. It's so simple. What're we worried about?

#2  Then they'll turn schizoid again in about five days and announce yet again Nuclear ArmageddonTM against the Joooos. Yep, I'm completely convinced of their peaceful intentions, Gentle's incoherent blather notwithstanding.
