| Rick, if we guess that whatever is in the news is some sort of distortion and we make the pertinent adjustments to interpret what we are told, the same news means different things. A note I saw suggests the US favours the EU effort based on the VP's comments, you read it to mean the opposite. You are not alone, in the earlier note the Iranian spokesman said the US sought to portray the EU-Iranian negotiations as a failure. I think the truth is in there somewhere, Cheney is not quite salivating at the prospect of war with Iran, but probably isn't very satisfied with EU-Iranian progress either. I'm not impressed with progress in the negotiations with Iran, are you? |
