#2 "Iranian officials are trying to balance pressure to meet the demands of the international community with the demands of hard-liners at home. About 1,500 hard-liners protested in Tehran on Friday against the pledge to open the nuclear program to unfettered inspections and suspend uranium enrichment."
Who is this reporter trying to kid? The "hard-liners" are the Iranian "officials" and, in a totalitarian state, any demonstration that isn't busted up by the thugs of state is, ipso facto, one representing the state's position. Fox needs to get a grip on the editorial process and remove the innuendo and spin. Of course, there wouldn't be much of a story here if it was limited solely to facts:

"Nope. We're clean. C'mon in. Visit our non-nuke sites and see for yerself."
"Wow! You're so, uh, cooperative! Let's give 'em a medal!"
"Tanx. It's rough. You can see our citizens clamor for this technology. They want to wipe out ~~the Sunnis~~ ~~the Baha'i~~ ~~the Kurds~~ ~~the Saudi Royals~~ ~~the Great Satan~~ ~~the Jooos~~ unemployment and guarantee our country's supply of electricity. This is obvious."

About a half column inch, I'd say.

#3 Iran gave the U.N. nuclear watchdog a dossier Thursday meant to dispel fears it is trying to make atomic bombs.

Sitting on top of a fortune in oil, and these guys want nuclear power? They're full of crap, plain and simple. And the Poms, Frogs, and Germans are stupid to be helping them out.

#4 The IAEA's El-Baradei was "passively" helping Saddam to hide his nuke effort. By the standard of what he did for Saddam, he "succeeded" in NoKorea. He is now doing the exact same thing with Iran.

Blix was an obvious, anti-American fool much discussed in the media and blog-world. El-Baradei is an anti-American fool who --inexplicably and unlike Blix-- hasn't been dissected in public. He is always lying though his teeth and must be taken out before he can do further damage under cover of the IAEA.

#5 Yup Kalle I trust a man with a name like El-Baradei to police nuclear proliferation in the Arab world--NOT--anyone else agree?

#6 NMM, I've been saying that for months! Thank you.
What part of the scenario of an Islamist Bomb and a nuclear "watchdog" named Mohammed going together don't the sheeple understand?
