Let the appeasing begin

From ITAR-TASS this morning,

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has expressed doubts that the Board of
Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will be able in
early February to submit the Iranian nuclear dossier to the UN Security
Council.

So the next cycle of stall, misdirect, bribe, recrimination, threaten, and negotiation, begins. Honestly, have none of these people raised children before? I have a five-year old and even my dim mind recognizes the pattern. In the meantime, Iran receives more time to harden and disperse their nuclear weapons program, buy more sophisticated air-defense systems, and make themselves pains in the ass generally.
