re: He wants more 'goodies'

... in my view, what Ahmadinejad, and Ali Khamenei, and likely the majority of the Iranian people want is rather simple and obvious:

... they want a viable nuclear deterrent -- not a first strike capability -- but a credible deterrent.

... in my view, Iran has learned the entirely correct object lesson from North Korea... from Iraq... from a half century of naked US imperial military aggression in South America and the Middle East

... and from a number of US covert actions within Iran itself, including the ousting of a democratically elected president, Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh, and the installation of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi of Iran, upon the threat of a nationalized oil industry.

... that message, of course, is:

... if you wish to chart a course that is not precisely parallel to US vested interests, and you wish not to be attacked, you had better have the bomb.

I think this sentence is key as I mentioned in my prior post. Anything beyond that is negotiable for Iran IMO. However, the question is if this sentence is acceptable to the U.S.? Up till now this has been a categorical NO. This administration has spewed so much negative propaganda about Iran that it will look weak domestically if it gives in on this point.

"``But using nuclear technology for production of nuclear fuel for peaceful purposes is part of our legal and certain rights and we will never negotiate on that with anybody,' he added.
