Teheran _ Russia will sign a deal with Iran next week to start nuclear fuel shipments for the Russian-built reactor there, an Iranian official said yesterday.

The US, which accuses Iran of secretly working to develop nuclear weapons, has long called on Russia to avoid supplying the Islamic state with nuclear fuel.

``A fuel deal for the Bushehr nuclear power plant will be signed on Feb 26,'' Assadollah Sabouri, deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, said.

The comments indicated that the two countries had settled disagreements over the terms of their accord after years of negotiations.

1. Bring It On

Well Bush, you warmonger Idiot. When do we start the war with Russia? They seem to be arming the axis of evil. Will that be after or before the war in Korea. Russia has oil, what the hell are you waiting for?

So where is the great Bush doctrine? Doesn't seem to have the World shaking in their boots. Hmmnn maybe that great Bush doctorine is just BS. Hmmmmnnnnnn.

Sure would be nice if we didn't have a media that is nothing but a tool of the White House, and Pentagon. Daddy Bush going to make a lot more money.

4. Nations like Russia and China saw this coming from a MILE AWAY!

Thats why our (once) real friends, many from "Old Europe" tried to slap some sense into our stupid asses, but thats the nature of stupidity to ignore wisdom, ain't it?

2. SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT

3. Evidently that ride around the Crawford ranch in Dubya's --

-- little truck didn't sway his pal Vlad.

If Bush can send U.S. troops to look after "American interests," then Putin can respond if "Russian interests" are threatened.

It ups the ante just a notch over a possible strike on Tehran.

Since Condi is a Russia expert, I'm sure she'll get to the bottom of this.

5. Did he have Colin Powell hiding behind a tree to release "wild" turkeys...

...out of their cages for Putin to see as they drove past like they did for the visiting Saudi prince?

Wonder how much this nuke deal is worth to Russia? No matter, I think we could afford to buy them off if we wanted to.

10. they'll give'm nukes too- If everyone's ARMED, no one gets HARMED

This is the truth.
Lock 100 people in an auditorium with limited food & water and no way out. Give everyone baseball bats, but give shotguns to about 8 or 9 of them. What do you think will happen when the food starts running out?
Wouldn't those with the shotguns shoot each other while those with baseball bats just starve?
If everyone in the room had shotguns you'd likely see negotiations instead of violence... wouldn't you?

oops, I forgot, you'd likely have civil negotiations unless some shotgun wielding self appointed "ruler" of the room had an IQ in the low 80' ( like our pResident has...)

Idiots trump logic.

never mind---
