It's not what we know to be fact...

...it's what insane people believe to be true that controls their actions.

Despite the Cheneyburton propaganda blitz, the UN's IAEA has delayed nukular sanctions against Iran:

NEW YORK (AP) — In a setback for the United States, Iran won a two-month reprieve from new U.N. sanctions over its nuclear program on Friday. The Bush administration and its European allies ceded to Russian and Chinese demands to give Tehran more time to address international concerns.

An agreement reached in talks here between six key nations and supported by the European Union gives Iran until November to make progress in answering questions about the program that the United States and others alleged is a cover for nuclear weapons development.

The decision marks another blow for Washington in its diplomatic struggle to toughen existing U.N. sanctions on Iran, whose leader this week declared to the U.N. General Assembly that the nuclear issue was "closed" and vowed to defy attempts to add new penalties...

This may lead to another excuse, of course, that being the resolution Lieberman-Kyl pushed through the $enate with the backing of HHHillary, $chumer, and the best DINOcrats the state of Michigan has.

On the other hand, given our chickenhawk-in-chief's worship of the Old One, it may be the pause before the plunge to war has a Faith-based connection.

Astrology-based strategery?

...From Dec. 15 through Dec. 29, Mars will blaze at magnitude -1.6, a bit brighter than Sirius, but just slightly inferior to Jupiter. Mars will still be positioned between Taurus and Gemini, at a rather high declination of about +27-degrees.

So almost as if to compensate for its relatively small apparent size, Mars will literally soar in the night sky of late-December.

When it reaches its highest point in the sky at around midnight local time, its altitude will be 70-degrees at Seattle, 76-degrees for New York, and an exceptional 83-degrees at Los Angeles. Meanwhile, amateur and professional astronomers stationed in southern Texas and central Florida will see Mars pass directly, or very nearly overhead!

Look for Dear Leader to git his Iran On in mid-December, once he hammerlocks the UN into issuing some kinda condemnation. Remember, they own both Britain and France in the Security Council too.
