"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05

CNN.com - Iran issues warning on uranium enrichment - Mar 5, 2006

"Three years of negotiations with Britain, France and Germany -- known as the EU-3 -- failed to produce an agreement."

Yet according to Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Secretary Larijani, '"the American Government needs to create some kind of crisis because, now, in regard to Iraq, they have made a huge mess, and now they have to redirect the attention of the world to something else."'

'"Referral to the Security Council will not have any benefit for us or anyone else,"' said Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Secretary Larijani. "Iran will resume large-scale nuclear enrichment if the International Atomic Energy Agency board of governors refers the Islamic Republic to the U.N. Security Council."

The truth of what Iran has been working toward has come to pass. It strikes me that this is what their angle has been all along; negotiate to stall, make noise, threaten to leave talks, go back to talks, refuse to agree in talks and finally announce that they cannot abide to or make an agreement that disallows enrichment of uranium on Iranian territory. They can now, in their twisted way place blame with the international community for what they are being forced to do. The U.S. of course is the largest scapegoat since that works for everyone in the world; even those in the U.S.

Isn't the title, "Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Secretary" great? It speaks volumes.
