[RETRACTED] Did Ahmadinejad just say “uncle”?
Iran has suspended uranium enrichment in advance of forthcoming talks.
UpdateAnswer to the question is “no.” Apparently the original Guardian story quoted a (wishfully?) mistaken story in the Saudi-backed. Al-Arabiya. Guess we’ll have to keep squeezing.
Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute for Urban Management and editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.

I’m not sure the efforts of disreputable foreign leaders to elect particular men in America actually help. But they do seem fond of Obama. Chavez, Castro, Putin, and now Ahmadinejad. They do seem to like him.
The question is, does it help him to be the favorite of such people?
Whatever, Mr. Bellmore. No doubt this is great news for Mitt Romney.
Nah. Pretty much irrelevant, Ahmadinajad has little influence over our domestic politics. Now, the Chavez and Putin endorsements for Obama might have helped Romney, if the press covered them, but that’s why they didn’t.
if the press covered them, but that’s why they didn’t.
Because the lib’rullll meeedia are too busy covering the GOP voter suppression activities, Rmoney voting machines, Rmoney profiteering from the bailout, Rmoney tax returns, Stericycle, Rmoney Ponzi scheme, Sensata, Asimco, Medicare voucherization, etc etc etc. The media are just too exhausted from running down how dishonest this candidate is to cover a half-crazy furrin soshulizt.
Whew! exhausted they must be, eh?
I’m with Brett: if I were putting words in the guy’s mouth, they would be: “I endorse Barack Obama”.
Well I’m glad he didn’t actually [I]say[/I], “I endorse Barack Obama†;~)
It’s worth noting that truly radical, apocalyptic Islamists are, no doubt, rooting for the other side.
Yes, both sides are confident of that, I assure you. Personally I suspect that, from their perspective, there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between Obama and Romney.
I am pretty sure Bin Laden would much prefer Mitt Romney. Mind you, he’s feeding the fishes, so I guess we can’t ask him.
“Iran denies suspending uranium enrichment”
Click the link – read the update.
That’s ok. The US denied the existence of talks two weeks ago.
I expect a settlement soon.
In the law, a person is held to “intend” the reasonably foreseeable consequences of his actions. The reasonably foreseeable consequence of Chavez, etc., endorsing Obama is to help Romney, just as the Osama tape quite possibly tipped the 2004 election to GWB. The conclusion, then, is that people who hate America love the thought of Mitt Romney as President.
Also note that this story – which so far seems to be false – wasn’t about an endorsement, but about what would have been a national triumph: the cessation of Iranian uranium enrichment. And yet to Brett all it meant was possible advantage for the candidate he hates.
Yeah, amazingly I looked at it from the same perspective you did: What were the implications for the election Tuesday.
Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.
