U.S. Offers Iran Incentives To End Uranium Enrichment

An unexpected turn of events that doesn't seem to be getting a lot of press...

AP: U.S. to give Iran nuclear technology
A package of incentives presented Tuesday to Iran includes a provision for the United States to supply Tehran with some nuclear technology if it stops enriching uranium — a major concession by Washington, diplomats said.

The offer was part of a series of rewards offered to Tehran by European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana, according to the diplomats, who were familiar with the proposals and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were disclosing confidential details of the offer.

The package was agreed on last week by the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia — the five veto-wielding members of the U.N. Security Council, plus Germany, in a bid to resolve the nuclear standoff with Iran...

A significant change in our policy. Iran is currently weighing the offer.

Hmmm. Maybe Cheney's not gonna get to nuke them after all...
