Iran Determined to Keep Nuclear Program

Iran scoffed at U.S. incentives aimed at coaxing the Islamic republic to drop its nuclear ambitions and declared Saturday that Washington's overtures did nothing to change Tehran's plans to push ahead with its nuclear program.

I cannot lie: when the Bush Administration agreed to make some economic concessions to the Iranians yesterday, I was pretty miffed!
It looks like we're weak and caving into the outrageous bellicosity of the mullahs from fear and the only reason I can find is that President Bush and Dr. Rice want to show our EUropean "allies" and Russia that we're not intransigent (yet) about the Iranian nuke situation and that, as with the Iraq problem before we launched OIF, Bush will go
the extra mile on the "multilateral" diplomatic road until it says "Dead End."
With today's response from the moo-lahs, I think we can safely say that negotiating with them is definitely a dead end and now it's time to talk and act tough.
They're training, manning and funding the "insurgency" in Iraq, their propping up their puppet Assad in Syria who keeps Lebanon as their surrogate satellite and via Hezbollah, they're murdering Americans, Israelis and Jews all over the world.
It's past time we started cutting the heads off this hydra!
