Iran: Uranium Enrichment Resumes, Failed Diplomacy Continues
The CNN headline reads " World gives Iran 'final chance'". Well sure, I'm just waiting for that day, oh happy day, when the United States will give Iran its Final, Final Chance. Because if we don't, no one else will do it. Reads the CNN story:
LONDON, England (CNN) -- The international community has given Iran a "final opportunity" to meet its nuclear obligations, British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has said.Straw met with Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki for more than an hour Wednesday. The pair also met Tuesday at a conference on Afghanistan in London.
"He (Mottaki) really needs to see this agreed position by the leaders of the international community, not as a threat but as an opportunity ... a final opportunity for Iran to put itself back on track," Straw told BBC radio.
"Mottaki was warned not to walk away from the IAEA additional protocol or to make threats," a British Foreign Office spokesman said, referring to demands by the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency. "This was not in Iran's interest."
Later, British Prime Minister Tony Blair told the House of Commons that it was important to "send a signal of strength" to Iran.[...]
Well Tony, if you want to send "a signal of strenght" shouldn't you start doing so by telling your Foreign Secretary, "for God's sake, don't say the military option is off the table?"
