Miserable Failure

More proof of incompetence on the part of the Bush administration. While they've been focused on Iraq, to satisfy their own short-term goals, deeply held ideologies, greedy pursuits, what have you, Iran and Korea have both been making great strides in their own nuclear programs. Today the AP reports on further Iranian developments:

VIENNA, Austria - Iran told a black market supplier it was interested in "tens of thousands" of parts for its covert nuclear program, diplomats said Thursday, as the U.N. atomic watchdog prepared to rebuke Tehran for hindering an agency probe of its activities.

The diplomats, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said the revelation about Iran's offer was made at a closed-door meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
