Time for Israel to get busy!

The EU hates the US and Israel and is helping Iran stall so that they get a weapon. I think they believe that they need to shift the balance of power to their side and that can be accomplished by putting US in its place. I'm not saying they--EU--want to see the US fall, but they would like us to fail so they can say "I told you so".

Why else would they issue all sorts of comments about how it force is out of the question and so on. They are trying to tie the hands of the US and allow IRAN to develop its bomb so that the US does not have too much power over the oil reserves of the world.

Let's face it, if we are able to get Iraq on the right track, we will have a friend that has lots of oil. Same with Iran. What if democracy was able to win over the terrorist gov. of Iran? Again, another US style democracy as the #2 producer of oil, second to Saudi Arabia? Wow. The french would not be very happy now would they?

Thanks Russia, Red China, EU, etc. Nice bunch of friends we have out there. Does anyone still believe Putin is our "Ally in the War on Terror"? What a crock.

Isn't it true that China's missiles can reach the U.S.?

I am reminded of the media coverage before the 2nd part of the Iraq War.
They were screaming about Iraq’s WMD and calling for action. Action was taken and our “esteemed” news media immediately started harping about none being found, and that President Bush somehow intentionally lied to the American People.
Will this be a repeat?

I wonder if Iran has even clued into the fact that the U.S. is hanging out on their eastern and western flanks right now?

No real deployment necessary.

Well, if Iran gets the nuke then any attack that we may perform against them would naturally have to be nuclear in nature.

(After all, no one ever contemplated invading the Soviet Union with only conventional weapons. Why? Because they had nukes.)

Then all the fallout could drift over Europe and finally finish the idiots off.

A fitting tribute to their Iran policy.

From www.EdwardJayEpstein.com

Question:

General Yuri Baluyevsky, the Russian Deputy Chief of Staff said in Moscow on June 2002, "Iran does have nuclear weapons. These are non-strategic nuclear weapons."

Is there a Russian connection to Iran's nuclear program that might explain this assessment?

Answer:

Yes, Russia is the prime subcontractor for Iran' nuclear program. Consider the following:

1) Russia is building six nuclear reactors for Iran, four at Bushehr and two at Akhvaz, and a uranium-conversion plant that can be used for, among other things, uranium enrichment.


2) The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) laboratory at Seibersdorf, Austria, ascertained that Iranian centrifuges made indigenously in Iran — not imported gear — showed traces of on enriched uranium with a purity level of 36 percent U-235. Russia appears to have been the source of this enriched uranium, since the IAEA lab also found a "likely match" between the atomic signatures of the 36% uranium used in Russian submarines and the traces gathered from Iranian centrifuges.

3) Russian 36% U-235 could easily be raised to weapon-grade U-235 with either centrifuges or the laser isotope separating system it reportedly acquired from Russia . ( It would take just 25 centrifuges to convert 70 pounds of 36% U-235 into 90% weapon-grade U-235.)

4) The AIEA also determined that Iran produced polonium 210, an isotope used by Russian scientists (in combination with beryllium) to ensure the chain reaction leading to a nuclear explosion begins at the right time.

5) According to a report in the Jerusalem Post in 1998, a defecting Iranian nuclear scientist's provided an account of Iran's efforts to acquire nuclear weapons to Israel. These efforts included using Russian criminal intermediaries to buy four tactical nuclear weapons and enriched uranium from Kazakhstan. According to this account, Iranian technicians were unable to disarm the passive locks on these weapons. So it bought two additional tactical nuclear warheads directly from Russia, which were shipped to the Lavizan military base outside Teheran.

6) Iran has also tested the Shahab-3 medium-range ballistic missile and is developing other missiles that could become intercontinental merely by adding a solid-fueled stage. These ballistic missiles, which lack pinpoint accuracy, would only be useful for carrying nuclear warheads. According to the Rumsfeld Commission in 1998 "The ballistic missile infrastructure in Iran is now more sophisticated than that of North Korea, and has benefited from broad, essential, long-term assistance from Russia.

I don't know - the French would always have Russia -

Be nice to come up with a new fuel - for America - and then let the rest of the nations of the world carry on the fight over oil -

I hear that we are getting ready to blockade Iran, Syria, and North Korea. Our ships are already heading into the area for "scheduled practice maneuvers". No way will we allow those fuel rods to make it into Iran.

Reports from Israel, for several weeks, have intimated that Iran's nuclear program would possibly have to be knocked out by the end of November.

I've seen nothing but movement in that direction.
