Really:





And from your own link:

Maybe we have now a better position to ask Iran to sign the Additional Protocol.

Just love the way you debunk your own statements...

"iran isn't allowing inspections"

then proceeds to site cases of inspections....

 

[varwoche]

I am amused by how so many "progressives" embrace the regime in Iran.

I too would like to know who these "progressives" are.

They're only allowing inspections at declared sites, not at other sites of interest.

I'm sorry you are so easily confused.

i see you are extremely tollerant when it comes to your own false statements

 

[Pardalis]

Don't worry, to anyone else what you said is consistent. DC and the Fool only are splitting hairs. Everybody understands what you meant.

As for the topic, I think any diplomacy is better than none. The bush approach of not talking didn't seem to work. I don't see anything wrong with this one, at least for a while.

Hey Bubba, if they're not allowing inspections on some key sites, then the claim "they are not allowing inspections" is true, even if they are allowing them on some other sites.

 

[Tsukasa Buddha]

With it's long history of supporting Hizbollah and other Shiia extremists groups I see no reason to trust the current Iranian regime.
And for some reason people cut it a LOT more slack then they do other right wing theocratic regimes.
I am not against talking to Iran, I just think they have a long way to go before I will trust them, and I think a lot of people are being very naive.

Thank god we have you to tell those apparently hypothetical progressives off!

 

[Dr Adequate]

Who's "embracing" the regime in Iran?

The same people who wanted the terrorists to win.

Imaginary people, you just can't trust 'em.

 

[plumjam]

I see no reason to trust the current Iranian regime.

Anyone got Ahmadinejad's email address?

(At the risk of a "No True Scotsman" violation, I would say that embracing the Iranian regime is a fairly solid indicator that someone is not a progressive.)

 

[Gangularis]

that dude should twitter.

"G2G - inspectors are here!"

Probably because they are a lot more democratic than most right wing theocratic regimes (this isn't hard).

Iran is somewhat odd in that respect and a number of others.

You can't pick someone's pocket with a clenched fist.

You can't pick someone's pocket with a clenched fist.

You also can't jerk someone off. Or do the Nazi salute. Or type on a keyboard.

I'm sorry, I thought we were mixing metaphors for fun. What was the topic again?

I have no problem with diplomatic approaches to Iran if done properly. I am just pessimistic about the results. I am afraid they are just stalling for time until the weapon is ready for a test.

ah i see suddenly you are also very tollerant about statements, telling.

It is also correct to say, Iran does allow Inspections.

Strange situation, you can say both and still be right.

It was kinda strange to demand additional inspections and signing additional protocoll while the west wanted to prevent Iran doing what they have a right to do.

It is my oppinion that Iran must grant acces to every place the IAEA wants to have acces. And now that we finally follow the NPT and the USA signed the Aditional protocolls, we are in a very good position to demand from Iran to fullfill all reasonable demands of the IAEA.

before it was like me demanding from the JREF community to take more care on their tiping errors

 

[Oliver]

And Iran isn't allowing inspections, so where does that leave us?

Iran will nuke Israel off the map anyway, J. Now get over it.

But seriously, what is your fear about? :

What, in your conspiracy theory ridden mind [according to your replies] will happen once Iran does have nukes?

 

[DC]

They're actually very nice people. Like the Canadians. If only we were nicer to them, they'd totally be our friends.

are talking about the iranian Geverment or the iranian people?

 

[Eddie Dane]

Imaginary people, you just can't trust 'em.

I hesitate to suggest this.
But I think we should put them in imaginary internment camps.

Did I say internment camps? I meant happy camps!

I'm not impressed when one needs a cardboard cut-out of a "progressive" to make ones point.

It reminds me of a certain poster here who thinks that there is a Zionist Apologist hiding under his bed.

Some people [cough, dubalb] apparently think that by staking out a centrist position that they're granted a free pass to pull unsupported assumptions from their crevices.
