Iran: We don't give a damn about no stinkin' resolutions

Ahmadinejad makes the dreaded sign of the bunny ears

Well, Inspector Clouseau (AKA El Baradi) did his best to come up with a vaugue IAEA report full of loopholes, as I predicted, but even El Baradi couldn't hide the truth.

The report had to come to the conclusion that Iran was not in compliance, was in defiance of U.N. and that that after more than three years of an IAEA investigation, "the existing gaps in knowledge continue to be a matter of concern."

Gee, yah think, Ispector?

The U.N. Security Council is expected to meet next week and start wrangling over a process that could result in sanctions against Iran. Don't hold your breath.

For his part, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made it clear that no Security Council resolution could make Iran give up its nuclear program in his usual charming and diplomatic way.

"The Iranian nation won't give a damn about such useless resolutions," Ahmadinejad told thousands of people Friday in Khorramdareh in northwestern Iran.

I still think that Ahmadinejad and the mullahs will come up with a last minute phony compromise to `save the peace' -perhaps a bogus Russian enrichment deal- to turn down the scrutiny and allow Iran the three years or less it needs to get the facilty at Neyshabour up and running and begin the industrial scale manufacture of nuclear weapons.....and wait out Bush's term in hopes of being able to deal with a weaker US president, as Amir Taheri has written.

Ahamadinejad and the Iranians have followed Hitler's playbook to the letter so far. It's about time for Munich 2006.
