Excerpt -
Vienna, 21 August (AKI) - Just hours before Iran is due to give world powers its response to a package of incentives aimed at persuading the country to give up its nuclear activities, new centrifuges have been installed at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility over the past two weeks, an anonymous source at the United Nations nuclear watchdog told Adnkronos International (AKI). Meanwhile, the country's heavy water reactor at nearby Arak in central Iran "will shortly be operational," the second in command of Iran's nuclear programme, Mohammad Saidi, was quoted as saying. Also on Monday, inspectors from the UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) left Iran without being granted access to its underground nuclear sites, the country's semi-official Fars agency reported. This will increase suspicions that Iran may be seeking to develop a covert nuclear weapons programme - and make inspections much harder, observers say.

Why have we sacrificed our perogative with iran? We wait for them? In vain! Better to war and let them sue for peace.

It is such a waste of time.
We just need to kill them before they kill us.
It's not that complex.

Isn't tomorrow suppose to be Abadabado's big answer to the international community on whether Iran is going to forgo its nuke program?

Afraid this might be legacy building which is not good for our "teeming millions".

When Eagleburger is nervous....I'm nervous.
To: Guenevere
Did he say he was?? Ouch.
To: samadams2000
No, he didn't, actually.
...but he was not hopeful.
I like him....he's a straight shooter...
...but he seems more than disgusted right now.
To: Guenevere
I completely agree- I trust Eagleburger..
I missed the interview with him- but have read snippets on FR..
I'm getting more uneasy...and not just about the 22nd..
