#1 Iranian President Mohammad Khatami had assured him in a telephone call two days ago that his country does not strive for nuclear weapons and that it was prepared to sign protocols required by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

A facility with oaths doesn't make anybody feel any better about you guys, Mo. Just a hint.

#3 The Bush Admin's gentle handling of Putin amazes me. He met Dubya face to face and within 6 months was stabbing him (us) in the back in every venue available.

I still think that, someday - now obviously post-Putin, the Russians and Americans could become great allies and friends (?) in a classic 'win-win' relationship...

For the moment, however, I can't help but marvel at Dubya's approach to this snake.

#4 Iran has requested that the U.N. Oversight group be headed by one Hans Blix, with expert assistance by arms expert Scott Ritter. Mr. Khatami stated "My 13 year old daughter is a big fan of Mr. Ritter, she can't wait to meet him..."

#5 Hmm sounds like it's time to send in Condi, Rummy, and ~~Halliburton~~ Cheney with some accusations of ~~imaginary~~ weapons of mass destruction. Crank up the Washington Times, ~~Faux~~ Fox News, The Weekly Standard and Rush Limbo--looks like we're gonna go to war again in time for the next election cycle.

#7 NMM: Send your resume into Al Gore. Maybe he can find you a spot on his new Liberal Loser Radio Network. You can get him his ice tea during the breaks on his talk show...

#9 I think Bush is being polite with Putin because there is hope of improvement of relations with Russia. With France there is no hope of improvements with Chiraq around. There is a future in Russia with all kinds of things: minerals, energy, etc. With France it's Bhurkas. I can't think of anything else.
