I’m shocked, shocked!

Only Claude Raines, of course, could infuse the word “shocked” with the perfect sarcastic inflection, indicating that he wasn’t shocked at all, but you’ll still know exactly what I mean when you read the following:
Iran warned Sunday it may limit cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog, expressing disappointment over the agency’s recent report that was critical of Tehran.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, in a report to the U.N. Security Council last week, suggested Iran was stonewalling investigators and possibly withholding information crucial to determining whether it conducted research on nuclear weapons.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said Sunday the IAEA “could present a better report,” adding Iran may have to set “new limits” on its cooperation with the agency.
You can read the rest here, but I doubt you’ll be any more shocked than I was.

It makes perfect sense to me.
This strategy would have worked for Saddam Hussein except that he miscalculated on a Republican President coming to power. This time, a Democrat President is in the offing (if you believe the MSM), so the Iranians will not only be able to ignore the U.S., but if they play their cards right, get $-billions in “aid” from the U.S. in the bargain (ref. NoKo)…plus multiple apologies for having offended Iran’s sensibilities, of course.
The UN is the best tool for buying time that enemies of humanity could ever acquire.
Since 1979, the Tehran regime has used over-reach as a mainstay in its successful handling of the rest of the world.
Who’s to say when the eventual blowback occurs?
Sounds like we really need B. Hussein Obama to go talk with them … with no preconditions, of course.
And when a mushroom cloud appears over Tel Aviv, the Democrat party will try to “round up the usual suspects” including Bush, Haliberton, the US oil companies, and Tom Delay.
I guess the most interesting discussion to overhear in the next calendar year would be Amadinijad and whoever is running Al Quida now as to who gets to use the first bomb they make. Wouldn’t that make an interesting Off Broadway play.
