"Playing with fire"

Iran's Hasan Rowhani said today that any attempt by Washington to make Iran's temporary suspension of uranium enrichment permanent would "cause additional problems for America"

Rowhani warned that Iran will halt negotiations and resume uranium enrichment "without any hesitation" if negotiators insist Iran make its temporary suspension of uranium enrichment permanent.

"Therefore, no one will benefit from this. It's playing with fire."

"If there is no U.S. pressure, we will reach a compromise with Europeans in the near future," Rowhani said. "Europeans are not seeking a permanent halt to our peaceful nuclear program and denying the Iranian nation of its rights."

Exactly ... a "compromise" that gives Iran nuclear weapons. That's why the U.S. must - and under President Bush, will - continue to apply "pressure."

Oh, and by the way Mr. Rowhani, last time I checked, America - and President Bush - did not respond well to threats.
