#2 I would have given 4-1 that he was going to come here and announce the release of the Brits. Ima think he's screwed up big-time. Now it Smellz like sabotage, losing control maybe.

#5 Hmm, I would have given 6-1 the Brits end up as human shields at some reactor complex.

Or, another possiblility is the old left hand don't know what the right hand is doing scenario. Maybe Almondinejihad is thinking "This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

#6 Why is "UNanimity" such a big value?

When someone is wrong, dead wrong, what is the value of changing your position so much as to include the wrong one? wouldn't it always, by necessity, make your position wrong, too? and send the message to the irrational party that they can keep sabotaging everything because "unanimity" is more important to you than facts, reason, liberty, and life?

I think "unanimity" as a value is a recipe for failure and death.

#7 Or, another possiblility is the old left hand don't know what the right hand is doing scenario

#8 Steve and Shipman,
I'll give you 8-1 odds Almond jihad was behind it. The last time we tried to work with "Moderate Iranian Mullahs" we got played for a fool.

#9 1. Imanutjob aint coming over, cause he knows they'll lose the vote, so why be humiliated?

2. The sanctions, though not exactly killer santions, are substantive, and take things a couple of baby steps beyond the first sanctions res. More importantly they establish the principle that as long as Iran enriches Uranium, we ratchet up sanctions every two months. How long it will take to boil this frog, I dont know.

3. The folks keeping it from being unanimous are South Africa, Indon, and Qatar. The latter two to avoid looking to pro-Israel, and RSA to basically throw some weight around. Indon and Qat will be bought off with a reference to an old res calling for a nuke free mideast (since most of the region wont sit down with Israel to negotiate that, its a red herring) RSA Im sure will get some commas inserted, or the like, to save face.

#10 Dinnerjacket cancelled because he was afraid that we would take HIM hostage.

#11 thought experiment, or speculation; since 2006 I've read reports that the dinnerJacket was on the outs with certain factions, both ultra and moderate.

Think it's possible that some AS$$atollah Quds peckerwood ordered an Admiral to snatch these Brits without consultations with the dinnerJacket?
