Iran's even paying lip service to a nuclear stand down at this time has got to be related to two things: the victory of Bush at the polls and the consequent unfettered militancy of US forces in Fallujah and (potentially) elsewhere. It's no accident Iran stonewalled up until the election. And I am sure it wasn't lost on the moo-lahs that the battle of Fallujah (how many miles to the Iranian border?) didn't last a week.

A gold medal for wishful thinking. Iran is playing the North Korean game. Make a deal, break it quietly, deny, apologize, make another deal. Repeat until it you've got what you want and you no longer need to deny or apologize.

I wrote a few days ago that as long as they put on a show of cooperation, the Iranians can do whatever they want. They are putting on that show. I don't think Fallujah had anything to do with it; nobody expected the insurgents to win. The Iranians know we aren't going to invade them.
