Khamenei: Iran won't talk nukes with U.S.
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has rejected the prospect of talks with the United States on the nuclear program, saying nothing would be gained, state television reported Tuesday.

"Negotiations with the United States would have no benefit for us, and we do not need them," the television quoted Khamenei as telling Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade.

The United States has said that if Iran accepts the package of incentives offered earlier this month, it would join its European partners and take part in negotiations with the Tehran government over a framework for its nuclear program.

The Washington move was seen as a major concession as the U.S. lists Iran as a sponsor of international terrorism and there have been no diplomatic relations between the two countries since 1979, when militants stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and took Americans hostage for 444 days.

1. Didn't we set a Big Ass Deadline?
Wuhoh - now we have Kim over in Korea with his Kim Kong rocket and The Evil Iranians with their Centrifuge of Planetary Destruction and dammit the Iraqis won't just go and die somewhere. What are we going to do?

I think this calls for a ROAD TRIP!
