AP: U.S. to give Iran nuclear technology
AP - 1 hour, 23 minutes ago

VIENNA, Austria - A package of incentives presented Tuesday to Iran includes a provision for the United States to supply Tehran with some nuclear technology if it stops enriching uranium — a major concession by Washington, diplomats said. The offer was part of a series of potential rewards offered to Tehran by European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana, according to the diplomats, who were familiar with the proposals and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were disclosing confidential details of the offer.

And what a perfect date.

And what exactly do you propose we do instead?

While I agree that this is bad in isolation, it was the system agreed to long ago. We give nuclear technology while the non-nuclear states foreswear nuclear weapons.

I can imagine that we have intrusive verification procedures to go along with this concession.

Keep the pressure on for the next few years till the idiots do something stupid.

Then again, we may see some sort of thaw that will allow us to gain more intel on the regime. Of course that will probably not happen seeing as Iran hates our guts.

I still think its dangerous to deal with these people. Placation is not the way to go with a major middle eastern country that is hell bent on nuking Israel and goes on about destroying Great Satan every hour.

Just tell them that they can get lots of nuclear technology delivered all brought in by air - all they have to do is saying where the icbm's shall land

I say we give them nuclear technology and a demonstration of nuclear power.

Via our bombs.

Not because I dislike the Iranians. I just think it'd be fun to have a small, limited nuclear war.

USA!USA!USA!USA!

Ho-ho-hold on one second. This country has a substantial dollar value attached to it.

As Jack Nicholson asked in a movie, "Ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?".

I'm totally disgusted.

God Dammit!

Lo and behold. When push comes to shove, Bush sucks it up and faces reality - and cuts a deal with a member of the "Axis of Evil."

I'm not surprised. We have limited leverage in this situation. We want them to give up their attempt at making nuclear weapons. We have to give them a reason to do so. They'll probably cheat, but maybe this will slow them down a bit.

Regardless the backlash will be UUgggggly.

He just handed over the house to the Dems.
