Iran Plays the Extortion Card

Pay me now for not kill you then.

FOR AN INSANE THUG WHO HATES THE JEWS, Iran's president has certainly learned and lived the meaning of hutzpah. Not content to play nuclear brinksmanship with a world that could reduce his country to a glowing puff of cosmic flatulence in an afternoon, Ahmadinejad now wants to get paid for all those years Iran didn't build a nuclear weapon.

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the West should compensate Iran for its past suspension of nuclear research as a way of building trust.-- Iran demands nuclear compensation

As the article notes, "Iran's suspension of uranium enrichment two years ago - the basis of his call for compensation - had been voluntary." But really, why should that make any difference to the mind set of this man and his whole demented cohort?

This is straight from the Yassar Arafat Playbook. First you threaten to kill a lot of people and drag an entire region of the world into chaos and war.

This alarms the fat and happy nations of the West and gets a lot of diplomats running their bumper cars around the UN. Studies of this, studies of that, and then you get a fat check from the fat and happy and frightened nations of the west. Then you cash the check and use the money to... kill a lot of people and drag an entire region of the world into chaos.

I've had some passing experience with extortion. It always comes dressed as "If you don't pay me, I'm going to do bad things to you." The problem is that if you pay once you're known to be a mark. The extortionist will then come back to you whenever their need for things, nuclear or not, exceeds their cash on hand. They'll keep coming back until their needs exceed your cash on hand. At which time, they'll get on with the business of doing bad things to you. Only by then, they'll have the money to really get to it.

Will this group of Muslim criminals get a big check from the West? The truth is that we're so craven and sold out politically to these fascists the only question is "How much do you want and can we FedEx it?"

And yes, their nuke making project is still right on schedule. Just because they said they suspended their program of uranium enrichment doesn't mean they actually did so. I said that I had suspended my personal uranium enrichment program (Just to cut back on what I have to pay the power company.) about two years ago too, but my basement still has its green glow at night. Humm, maybe I can get a check as well.
