Trita Parsi: New sanctions

WorldFocus segment on Iran's nuclear program

Clip description: "Delegates from the U.S., Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China met in Brussels to turn up the heat on Iran. Tehran says its uranium enrichment program is for peaceful purposes, but other countries worry that it gives Iran the ability to make an atomic bomb. Trita Parsi joins Daljit Dhaliwal to discuss the possibility of new sanctions."

Q

Timothy, you really DON'T know much of what's going on

by Q on

Now if you take the stockpile or the reactors away,it is not possible to make a nuclear bomb.

Are you serious? You thought this "deal" was to "take away" Iran's nuclear material and reactors?

Since you admit you're not smart, at least try to remedy this by paying attention.

There is no stockpile.

Iran has achieved low enriched Uranium production. That's done, it's over, it's not even up for debate. It will not stop and it wasn't going to stop under this deal.

The deal simply said, we (West) can convert your enriched uranium into nuclear fuel rods, so you don't have to experiment and build more facilities to do that part yourself.

If this proposal was sincere, it would not matter if all of the enriched Uranium would be shipped all at once. The nuclear reactors need only a fraction of that Uranium at any one time. So the whole deal should be possible to exchange Iran's enriched Uranium (what you ignorantly call "stockpile") for completed fuel rods in multiple stages on Iran's soil.

There's no possiblity of abuse because it's a two sided exchange. At the end of the day, if the West was serious, Iran was going to have all the enriched fuel it wanted anyway.

Only those forces in the west who wanted to use this deal as an excuse to break the agreement and not give Iran anything back are pushing for it to fail now that their game has been revealed.

You were probably already lost to humanity before you even graduated high school.

Craig: See previous commentary for a reply. Search for "Grade School", "awe" and "tragi-comedy with a twist of existensial paranoia".

Q

by ex programmer craig on

I don't know how I will ever recover form such comprehsive, logical and professional critiques.

You undoubtedly won't. There isn't any known effective treatment regimen for sociopaths. You were probably already lost to humanity before you even graduated high school.

What is wrong Q ? the STOCKPILE

by timothyfloyd on

Q for Qods sake,I know you are a smart guy.I don't feel that I am any smarter but even I know that what is wrong with that means they don't want to give up the stockpile that is causing all the commotion.

People don't trust the Racist Rapist's with a stockpile.


Now if you take the stockpile or the reactors away,it is not possible to make a nuclear bomb.

End of worry,end of the Bomb Iran drama.

As long as those two remain,it is possible for Iran to produce Nuclear bombs.


The plan offered was a very good one.
Thanks.

In other words,they are not trusted with the materials..

What is wrong with that Q?

Why do you trust them anyway?

 

Have a wonderful free day!

My friend, I asked a simple

by benross on

My friend, I asked a simple question! What is wrong with this?

As Trita puts it, 'inside dynamics'! 



Q

My friend!

by Q on

You misunderstand completely, I am talking about a trade inside Iran with small quanitites of fuel. After the trade there would be a shipment of fuel leaving Iran to be enrched in France.

My friend, I asked a simple question! What is wrong with this?


default

Q you are wrong again my friend!!

by timothyfloyd on

Q unless I have been reading this story wrong the last 2 days Mottkar has said nothing is leaving Iran.
If they wish to trade,it will be done within Iran.

This is what happens when you make sure all your new's is 'leftist'.

After they figure out a way to blame this on Isreal and the U,.S. they will tell you about it Q.

This is so shocking for someone who claims to know the secrets of Iran's Nuclear program!!

Why do you defend them when you don't even know what they are doing Q?

Have a wonderful free day!


Q

Timothy,

by Q on

Iran has agreed to send its fuel abroad for enrichment. It's the method of delivery that is in dispute.

What is wrong with doing simple exchanges (enriched fuel for empty fuel) instead of having to ship out all of Iran's fuel at once? Considering how many western companies have violated contracts with Iran, isn't this suspicion warranted?

Can you explain to me why the West does not want to solve this simple problem by doing exchanges?

Is it because -as some have said- it's just a ploy to get the nuclear fuel out of Iran so Israel can bomb the facilities without too much negative public reaction?

Villemouse they are not accepting Obama's deal

by timothyfloyd on

//iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/21/nuclear-fuel-wont-go-abroad-iranian-itiot-says

 Of course the blood sucking leech regime and it's supporting vomitouse are not accepting Obama's deal.

They are getting ready for war,like their sickening friends,Hamas.

Unfortunately,this is far from the last word.

Have a wonderful free day!


Q

Craig, I must now concede defeat

by Q on

I don't know how I will ever recover form such comprehsive, logical and professional critiques.

The deity-amongst-men, decreed:

Seriously? A sociopath like you?

Just look at it and let is sink in! A rhetorical question followed by an adhominem attack.

I say what use is function when form can scale the perfect apogee? Can the greatest of our contemporary poets deliver words more beautiful, more meaningful and more digified? I say not!

Let this stand for ages as a template for destroying all that is evil, and restoring peace justice and the American way, the way God and Reagan intended it.

I salute you sir! Braaavo!

Internal dynamics?

by benross on

Now we see, in all clarity, how the hoopla about negotiation on one hand and 'air tight sanctions' or 'war' on the other hand, were all fantasies of professional spectators... who intend to remain spectators.

U.S and international community does what it does. My understanding was -and is- that U.S won't allow nuclear capability for IRI. Period. What is it that we want? Remaining spectators of 'internal dynamics'?! Where is your dynamics my dear?!


ex programmer craig

Now you claim to understand "tragedy"?

by ex programmer craig on

Seriously? A sociopath like you?


Q

Craig, oh I get it!

by Q on

On what basis can somebody with no sense of humor assess whether or not something is funny?

Well, OK, maybe you have a point. It's not funny. It's more like a tragi-comedy with a twist of existensial paranoia in the face of unbearable pain of realism.

Whatever it is, I will always cherish your accusations with a hearty laugh. The two most recent ones are:

"I have nver slandered you Q!"

and

"implying you have a sense of humor is probably the most deceitful thing you've ever done on this website"

Thank You for the memories. :)


ex programmer craig

You just don't get it

by ex programmer craig on

I constantly accuse you of being funny!

On what basis can somebody with no sense of humor assess whether or not something is funny? That's almost as bad as somebody who supports a regime that routinely kidnaps, tortures, executes dissidents, persecutes minorities, abuses women and etc trying to make an assessement about who the REAL abusers of human rights are.


Q

Craig, I'm in awe of your 3rd grade comebacks

by Q on

> PalleEEEase Craig!! I've laughed enough today already...
Just keep telling yourself that, Q! I bet you'll find it especially helpful when you are crying yourself to sleep :)

Really! What do you think this is, Grade School or bootcamp?

implying you have a sense of humor is probably the most deceitful thing you've ever done on this website.

I constantly accuse you of being funny! And I stand by that accusation, even if it is masking deep hatred, insecurity and paranoia. Dont' believe me? Read your sentence again!

Just keep telling yourself that, Q! I bet you'll find it especially helpful when you are crying yourself to sleep :)

And by the way, implying you have a sense of humor is probably the most deceitful thing you've ever done on this website. I've never seen anyone accuse you of being funny! Not even your alleged friends say that about you. Can you prove you've got a sense of humor? And no, laughing at people as the basiji beat them down with batons doesn't qualify in the sane world.

PalleEEEase Craig!! I've laughed enough today already...

Interesting comment coming from somebody who spends all of his time on this website trying to disguise his true character and ideology.

Fred routinely writes 2 blogs a day which are featured. You and some others rival me in comments on this site. Between here and the crap you (mostly take) on "Kabobfest" and other Blogspot blogs you are nobody to critique others of how they are "spending their time." I'm semi-retired. What's your excuse?

It really is a mystery since you're not Iranian, and a long time ago everyone concluded you're way too incompetant for any intelligence work!

I'm sure somebody as evasive as you does have a great deal of experience with having people like me calling "bullshit". And with dodging the charge. You're an old man and I'm sure you are past master of being deceitful while trying to appear sincere. You have that in common with those you serve, don't you?

LOL. Another meaningless waste of electrons from a paranoid nobody.

...you with your "assessment" of people are one of the funniest things on this website. I've rarely seen someone this clueless of a character judge in real life!

Interesting comment coming from somebody who spends all of his time on this website trying to disguise his true character and ideology. You won't even give a straight answer when people ask you direct questions. I'm sure somebody as evasive as you does have a great deal of experience with having people like me calling "bullshit". And with dodging the charge. You're an old man and I'm sure you are past master of being deceitful while trying to appear sincere. You have that in common with those you serve, don't you?

Do you realise that the opposition - you know the ones who actually have to endure IRI policies - are against sanctions as well? I guess the opposition advocates for IRI too?


Q

Craig, something is really hurting you

by Q on

come on let it out! I have the popcorn! :)

Stop acting like a rabid dog beating around the bush. Either let us know what's bothering you or stop barking at me every chance you get.

Fair enough?

I don't know how many times I have to tell you: you with your "assessment" of people are one of the funniest things on this website. I've rarely seen someone this clueless of a character judge in real life!

Q

by ex programmer craig on

who would have thought anti-IRI hardliners like some commentaters here would be allied with Islamic hardliners like Khamenei and Mesbah Yazdi...

Interesting how you used "IRI" for the first group, and "Islamic" for the second. Was there some reason for that other to  exclude people like you who are pro-IRI but not Islamic from the equation? Or are you going to claim it was unintentional? :p


...in rejecting peace and dialog?

Do you have some basis for implying dialog = peace? We were engaging the Germans and the Japanese both in dialog right up until the outbreak of war, and even after. The only reason the US has not been engaging Iran diplomatically the last 30 years is that Iran seized our embassy and held our diplomats hostage for a year and a half. Since the IRI still celebrates having done that instead of trying to make it right, I think it's safe to assume diplomacy is no more a viable option now than it was then. IRI simply doesn't believe in diplomacy. IRI doesn't even believe in the sanctity of the diplomatic process.


Q

It's been a strange year, indeed

I do hope the IRI  does not accept Obama's deal. That is the only thing that can save Iran from the claws of these monsters.

Is married to Farid zakaria no?:)

 


ex programmer craig

Wow

by ex programmer craig on

Daljit Dhalilwal looks hot! And she's even older than I am! Trita Parsi on the other hand doesn't look like he's feeling very well! Maybe he should consider a career change.


HollyUSA

He was on 670 AM tonight

by HollyUSA on

They interviewed him for the first hour and after that was Daii's interview. I wish the host wasn't so blatantly hostile toward Parsi so that I could have actually heard what he had to say! Same host was a lot gentler with Daii. So much for Iranian journalism I guess.


Ahura

IRI Spokesman?

by Ahura on

Mr. Trita Parsi advocates what IRI wants, namely, more time to decimate the opposition, and pursue their covert nuclear weapon development in order to take the world hostage and guarantee their rule of terror in Iran. He had advised for delay in any additional sanctions by US and Western democracies until after the Iranian election, and now he continues with the logic that there is internal political fights in Iran and diplomatic negotiation needs more time. This contradicts his reasoning that the problem is not with the content of negotiation, the deal, but by the inability of fractured power centers in Iran to make a decisive response. So this unclear IRI politics, before and after the presidential election, continues and the dust has not settled yet.  He did not respond to the interviewer’s question that how can West know that this is not another excuse similar to those of the past two decades. He merely reiterated the turbulent internal politics of IRI, and repeated his, or IRI’s wish, to give diplomacy more time.

Trita Parsi looks so sad in this interview

by Mola Nasredeen on

What's there to celebrate? A win win situation for both Iran and US has hit a road block.

Ghormeh Sabzi thanks for the post.

I hope Iran can weather this

by kharmagas on

I have no problem with Iran not accepting this deal as long as Iran is strong enough on the ground to weather further pressures ....
