Just hours after Iranian President Ahmadinejad agreed to accept an IAEA deal to enrich uranium out of the country, they suddenly backed out. The plan had been to take Iran's nuclear stockpile and send it to Russia to be enriched. It's disappointing for those concerned about Iran's plans for its enriching uranium - though I don't think it's particularly surprising.
I was thinking about how long Iran has been playing this game, and it brought to mind this Supernews gem: Iran: Deal or No Deal?
Iran: Deal or No Deal? (Video)
That piece was produced in 2006. Over three years ago. It's kind of disheartening to see what looks like the same game playing out, but with a few different players. No more Bush or Condoleeza Rice, and Putin is now the Prime Minister of Russia, not the President. But it's hard not to watch this and see Iran doing the same things today. Is there another card up the Obama Administration's negotiating sleeve? Let's hope so.

Noel Edmonds, the television presenter, has launched an iPhone application for people who believe in the New Age philosophy of Cosmic Ordering.
Followers say they place orders with the Cosmos, by writing them down. They then wait for their wishes to come true and record what happens. It is this belief which Noel attributes to his return to fame on Deal or no Deal.
Turns out he's as crackers as his contestants, surely if you write enough general stuff down then something will happen one day if you wait long enough?Noel Edmonds, the television presenter, has launched an iPhone application for people... more
