#1 "...the speech is bad news for Europe's hopes of getting the US more involved in talks with Iran..."

Wow. Julian Borger's almost bright. Sorta half-bright. Perfect for AlG. In essence, this brings nothing new to light except more rehashed Mad Mullah faux Black Hat bravura and bluster. Keep it up, boyz. You're doing great.

Inviting an actual "moderate" voice, Kipper, is the anchor of this piece. She's rational, but absolutely against anything but diplomatic means. I wonder if she'd be quite so calm and analytical about her diplomacy-only position if the Mullahs had her home targeted as ground zero...

Tick... Tock... MullahWankers.

#2 Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, denounced the United States as "like one of the big heads of a seven-headed dragon"

#3 "like one of the big heads of a seven-headed dragon"

-why only one head? I thought we were the whole thing? I mean, how would he know? Has he ever seen a seven-headed dragon? Not the type of thing you just look out your window and see strolling by everyday.

Therefore, I want a retraction from Khameni right now dammit! We're the whole fucking dragon plus the fire, the serpent, and all that evil sounding shit! I haven't spent my whole adult life in the service of the *great satan* just to be "one big dragon head." I demand satisfaction Khameni, you sanctimonious son of a motherless goat!

#5 Great picture. Makes me wonder, do kids the world over make those faces, or is that just undersupervised and undisciplined American brats like my kids?

#6 "For his part, Schroeder rejected a suggestion that US insistence on democratic change in Iran would compromise efforts by Germany, Britain and France to negotiate with Iran on the nuclear issue.

He said that US President George W. Bush (news - web sites)'s "heart is where it should be" on democracy in Iran and added: "I couldn't agree more. I don't believe at all that there will be any weakening effect on the ongoing negotiations led by the three European countries."

#8 "Freedoms cannot be exported by tanks and planes, death and destruction,"

Generals Eisenhower and MacArthur disagree. I would wager that most of Iraqis disagree.

#9 If that analysis proves accurate, the speech is bad news for Europe's hopes of getting the US more involved in talks with Iran over suspending uranium enrichment

Say one thing for Al-Guardian: they don't shy away from reporting bad news for Europe. It's pretty obvious that the EU3 negotiations are a complete farce that command the respect of neither the Iranians nor us.
