The carefully scripted words, artfully and sonorously read by Gawd's son, did not ring as true as the speach delivered by Iran's managing engineer...,

Put me in mind of that exceedingly hollow flexing that went on in the immediate aftermath of Putin putting his foot so far up Georgia's backside that Saakashvili's whole world became a sudden epiphany of shit and shoe.

"entry into the "club of nations" cannot be had by force, but requires the exercise of responsiblity"

yadda, yadda, yadda....,

Who exactly is it anymore that's anxiously pushing up to gain entre into this "club" of broke, busted, and can't be trusted nations?!?!

AHHHH?? here ya go:..."Mr Obama has repeatedly defended Mr Geithner throughout the week, and assured his interviewer from CBS News there was no chance the treasury chief could step down just two months after Mr Obama's inauguration...."
Where's Rev Wright now? I bet he, Rev Wright, wished he had this kind of commitment.

There are no signs of a spring thaw.

Khamenei set the bar impossibly high — demanding an overhaul of U.S. foreign policy, including giving up "unconditional support" for Israel and halting claims that Iran is seeking nuclear arms. Iran insists its nuclear program is only for peaceful energy purposes.

"Have you released Iranian assets? Have you lifted oppressive sanctions? Have you given up mudslinging and making accusations against the great Iranian nation and its officials?" Khamenei said in a speech in the northeastern city of Mashhad. The crowd chanted "Death to America."

Despite Obama's offer, the State Department still lists Iran as a sponsor of terrorism for its backing of militant groups such as Lebanon's Hezbollah. In Iraq, U.S. officials accuse Iran of aiding Shiite militias whose targets have included American soldiers.

"He (Obama) insulted the Islamic Republic of Iran from the first day. If you are right that change has come, where is that change? What is the sign of that change? Make it clear for us what has changed."

Still, Khamenei left the door open to better ties with America, saying "should you change, our behavior will change, too."

Khamenei's response carried a particular bite following Obama's important shift in U.S. tactics in his video released Friday, offering to speak directly to Iran's theocrats rather than encouraging only pro-democracy reformists inside the country.

The move appears to recognize two key realities for U.S. policy makers: Iran's establishment is firmly entrenched and it holds all the cards in all important decisions.
