WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States has dropped its opposition to Iran's application for membership in the World Trade Organization in an effort to bolster European negotiations with the Tehran regime over its nuclear program.

The three European countries negotiating with Iran -- Britain, Germany and France -- had been pressing the Bush administration to drop American opposition to Iran trying to enter the WTO, which facilitates trade between nations.

Those nations, in return, agreed to send the dispute with Iran to the U.N. Security Council if the Iranians fail to fulfill their international agreements, including a promise to halt uranium enrichment

I think the Iran just told Bush he was full of Bullshit!!!

1. The Iranians know bush is just a wimp who talks big

only reason he got into Iraq was because of lies. Highly doubt if it will happen again without Russia and China stepping in on Iran's side.

2. This is getting smelly...

There is another LBN entry from:
www.khaleejtimes.com

Quoting EU negotiator's as say the uranium enrichment proposal isn't even being discussed--or
"It is quite clear that for the Europeans the abandoning or cessation (of uranium enrichment) is not even on the negotiating table," said Syrus Nasseri, who led the Iranian team that met with representatives of the EU “big three” Britain, France and Germany this week in Geneva.

So the US 'shift' is more disinformation courtesy of the Press© (there hasn't been a shift at all actually) and the Iranians are right for telling Smirk to leave 'diplomacy' to the Grown-ups...

Obviously the BEST position the US could take is--'shut up and stay out of it'

3. Israel is going to bomb them !!! Iranians know it & Bush knows it

the question is where is Europe going to stand!!!

4. Is Israel's stock that high?

They got elections, corruption, scandals and some meme about 'how Abbas can fill the 'road map' if he really wants to be part of the 'March towards Freedom'.

Why bother with Israel?
