According to the VOA, Tom Casey, the US State Dep't spokesman, bleeds in his heart for Iran and is oh-so upset at how the Iranians are "squandering" opportunities . . .
Iran is squandering the opportunity to achieve the benefits it claims it needs from its nuclear program, says U.S. State Department deputy spokesman Tom Casey:“If Iran would simply choose to suspend its uranium enrichment activities, then the United States, as well as Russia, as well as the other members of the P-5 plus one [countries], would sit down with the Iranian government and negotiate a solution to these issues – one that would allow the Iranian people to have civilian nuclear power, but that would assure the rest of us that they weren’t, in fact, using that program as a cover for a nuclear weapon.”
Apparently, US State Department spokesman Tom Casey thinks we don't remember that Iran already tried suspending enrichment for 2 years during the course of the Paris Agreement negotiation process with the EU-3, and we ALL saw how they tried to cheat Iran by making a worthless joke of an offer to Iran.
What they're trying to do, under the guise of "nonproliferation" is to steal Iran's capacity to have an independent source of nuclear fuel, and to force the entire developingworld into accepting a new apartheid regime, where they get to have a monopoly of nuclear energy. Is it any wonder then that
Some developing nations are skeptical of the intentions of the five original nuclear states and are reluctant to give up the option of enriching uranium. Developing nations say they don’t want to give up their rights to uranium enrichment and don’t trust the United States or other nuclear countries to be consistent suppliers of the nuclear material they would need to run their power plants (Los Angeles Times)
The duty of the IAEA is to determine whether a country has been building nukes- and the IAEA has explicitly stated repeatedly that it has not found any such evidence. But I guess the State Department should know about squandered opportunities since they rejected Iran's comprehensive peace offer in 2003, and Rice LIED to Congress about the offer, and they have consistently refused to even acknowledge all of Iran's nuclear compromise offers too. Yes Tom, I am certain you're just so concerned about those "squandered opportunities" aren't you?
Sorry Tom, but do try again.
