France Accuses Iran of Making Nuclear Arms

Meanwhile, Russia's military chief Gen. Yuri Baluyevsky warned the United States against launching a military strike against Iran, saying "it is hard to predict how the Muslim world will respond."

Probably riot, burn flags and effigies and shout bad things about us.

I say, let the French comprise the first wave.

We'll be right behind.

Except the Iranian people. They will be happier than the Iraqis to get rid of the Mullahs if we take them out.

France is in agreement with the United States. Hmmmm. What are we doing wrong?

Iran's 'Slower, Please' Russian Talks Renewal
Ahmadinejad praises 'more precious outcomes' than nuclear fuel,
Creates $200M 'Industrial' fund with Venezuela

*************************AN EXCERPT***************************************

By Steve Schippert

In the midst of world doubt over the Iranian nuclear program, Iran’s President Ahmadinejad visited the Natanz nuclear facility south of Tehran, the principal center of Iran’s newly restarted uranium enrichment efforts. While praising the scientists for their nuclear fuel work, Ahmadinejad hinted at their true aim.

“Though your main concern is to produce nuclear fuel, your attempts to this end will result in more precious outcomes.”

These ‘more precious outcomes’ should not be misunderstood to be radiological isotopes for medical usage. The state-run Islamic Republic News Agency paraphrased Ahmadinejad, saying that in his speech he ’noted that what the enemies are afraid of is not production of nuclear bomb, given that in the world of today, nuclear weapons are of no use.’ This assertion of uselessness, however, flies in the face of adamant Iranian objection to the Israeli nuclear arsenal neither confirmed nor denied by Tel Aviv.

This as Iran once again makes a reversal on rhetoric, claiming they are indeed now ready to negotiate with Russia on the Russian Proposal, which seeks to lure Iranian enrichment operations onto Russian soil and oversight.

Iranian spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham said of Tehran’s earlier decision to disengage from the Russian talks, “Russia’s proposal should be based on policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” adding that chief among those policies include a “determination to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes inside Iranian territory.”

France accused Iran on Thursday of secretly making nuclear weapons

Wow. I stand and stare in awe at the mental giant that is France.

Sheep!

"France's Foreign Ministry insisted Douste-Blazy's remarks were in line with the European position on Iran. France, Germany and Britain have been negotiating with Iran, but no other European leader has spoken so frankly."

Booooo. Bad pun.

An d the Brits and Germans are still softly speaking.....who would have thunk it?

Ques que se? No oil pour le cuisine? Votre nukes est histoire!

Semper Fi, frog mofos!

France accused Iran on Thursday of secretly making nuclear weapons, ditching Europe's traditional diplomatic caution for bluntness that echoed the tough U.S. stance and reflected growing exasperation with Tehran.

And when the French have had enough of Iran's shenanigans, they'll send them a strongly worded letter begging them to be nice, and they'll send all their white flags out to the dry cleaners so they'll be nice and fresh when surrender time comes.

French officials: "Stop! Or we'll say stop again."

Patton, "I'd rather have a division of French army in front of me than a division of French army behind me"

Patton, "I'd rather have a division of French army in front of me than a division of French army behind me"

No doubt those would be favorable conditions.

One more thing regarding the French: "Talk's cheap".

Big deal, the frogs will just say, "Now stop, or we shall taunt you a second time!"

"Patton, "I'd rather have a division of French army in front of me than a division of French army behind me"

No, no, no, ... he said "I'd rather have a German division in front of me than a French division behind me".

Booooo. Bad pun.

Now that took a lot of Gaul. Okay, just to be Nice, I'll Cannes the puns.

France is in agreement with the United States. Hmmmm. What are we doing wrong?=

I dunno, it's kind of spooky to see Chirac trying to act like a cowboy. But then, remember, Chirac had a 30 year very lucrative friendship with Saddam. This must mean that the mullahs haven't offered any mega oil contracts to France and hell hath no fury like a shortchanged Chirac.

Few remember that France attacked Germany first, last time around.

Georges Le Guelte, a nuclear expert at France's Institute for International and Strategic Research, called Douste-Blazy's statement "remarkable." "It was not very diplomatic," he said, adding it sent a powerful message to French companies operating in Iran that have pressured the government to remain cautious.

Mr. Le Guelte must assume the objective of all diplomacy is to grease the wheels of business. Maybe it is. Douste-Blazy statement takes into account that it is bad for business to end up on the wrong side of an Iranian nuclear weapon. Thank you Douste-Blazy, the truth will set us free.
