Nine Minutes 'til Iran Response

With Iran's promised response to the West's nuclear negotiation package due at 5:30 a.m. PST, I'm looking at this guy's face and wondering, "Is this the foreign minister I'd like to have delivering the news?"

Better than a nuke-tipped missile, I guess, but Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki is one menacing looking dude.

Then there's Mahammed Saeedi's comment. One wonders how carefully Iran's #2 nuke guy selected these words: "Iran's response to the package is a comprehensive reply that can open the way for resumption of talks for a final agreement."
