On Friday the UN announcement that the latest anti-Iran resolution would contain no new sanctions. On Monday Iran announced that the UN resolution would have no effect on their enrichment activities. Truly mystifying:

Iran said Monday it will continue its disputed uranium enrichment activity despite a new UN resolution seeking suspension of the process. Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Hasan Qashqavi said in his weekly briefing that enriching uranium was Iran's "right" and that it intended to continue to do so... The US and Russia on Friday sponsored a new UN resolution reaffirming three previous resolutions that imposed sanctions on Iran for refusing to halt its uranium enrichment program.

McCain has been asking Obama for months what topics he'll bring up with Iran. Maybe this is the answer!

"Hey guys, between your advanced nuke warhead blueprints and having enough weapons-grade material for a bomb by 2009 and your parliament hating Israel more than Ahmadinejad does - tell me the truth, are you developing nukes?"

"No."

"Oh come on guys - I've already said that you're not a serious threat and Nancy Pelosi even said that you helped us win in Iraq - so honestly, are you developing nukes?"

"No."

I'm just trying to be helpful because I want Obama to start talks with Iran the second that he's sworn in. The sooner the better. Because he's already said that he won't use military force until after talks fail. Which is enough of a nightmare before you think about how talks with North Korea are still merely in the "failing" stage.
