No Talks on Nuclear Issue - Iran

Fox News: Reports that Iran has refused to discuss its nuclear plans when it meets the UN on Thursday. It seems somewhat of a pointless meeting, as stated as I was not holding my breath for this meeting. It will be another round of tedious talks, the Government in Tehran will play games, it will try to split the Western Allies and Russia and China over the issue. Also as the NYT has reported it looks like its all spin from Moscow, they will be critical but not to critical, they are a neighbour of Iran and have a Muslim population, thus does not want Iran causing havoc in Russia proper. Lets see what harsh sanctions the Obama Administration can come up with, they have to be harsh or Israel will see them as feckless and weak and then strike Iran. Like something out of the TV series 24. This is President Obama's Jack Bauer moment, the problem is that he also has to deal with Afghanistan, Iran can cause havoc in Afghanistan. Lets see if President Obama has the backbone to be Jack Bauer, this is not about his own arrogance but the security of Israel and the West.
