During ElBaradei's visit, Iran also committed to meeting deadlines on disclosing the source of traces of weapons-grade uranium found here and answering questions on its recently discovered program to make advanced P-2 centrifuges to enrich uranium, possibly to weapons grade.
...and...
In a report last year the IAEA determined that Iran had concealed aspects of its nuclear program. But the IAEA did not conclude that Iran had a weapons program. The United States pressed for a harsher conclusion. The IAEA has been divided over whether to refer the case to the Security Council, which could mete out sanctions for Iran failing to comply with the NPT.
...and...
Washington has labeled Iran a member of the "axis of evil" and dubbed it a sponsor of terrorism. But Iran has not actively opposed U.S.-led wars in two neighboring countries, Afghanistan and Iran.
Officials in both governments — enemies since the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran — have hinted at the possibility of dialogue.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/03/13/world/main606133.shtmlWe've been talking with Iran for over a year now. The millions Occidental spent on lobbying against Libya sanctions finally paid off last September.
You may or may not remember that Halliburton was fined by the Commerce Dept. after Clinton's Penis imposed sanctions against Iran, since they ignored his Penis and continued to do business there. I'm not sure what U.S. oil companies have "old" relationships that Cheney would like to renew, but Halliburton is definitely one of them.
The Bush* administration is being very quiet about all this because I'm convinced that Iran will "cave in" to our woor on tar prior to the election. Did you listen to chimpy last night? Iran will be part of their "October Surprise" (or July, August, September??)
Of course, no one here at DU believes me. I'm just a crazy old wacko that's full of shit...
