Riiiiight. Just like the Sudetenland was Hitler's last territorial demand in Europe.

LOL we all go back to the Nazis, I was going to write, And work shall set you free.

Iran knows that Bush and the US are in no political position, at home or abroad, to use force to restrain Iran's nuclear eagerness.

The Iranian Oil bourse wiuld harm US, short term, far more than a nuclear Iran. A nuclear Iran, will of course, be more dangerous down the long road, but that can be dealt with later.

Therefore, I suspect the Oil bourse will diplomatically go away and the Iranian's will continue with nuclear technology with nothing more than a sharp reprimand from the world and the US.

But I'm no prophet.

let's dance and look gay as we hold these vials of enriched uranium....


for some reason I don't trust these fools

[dhs12345]

LOL!

Wouldn't have believed it without the picture.

What is clear is that Ahmadinejad is not doing this for the international crowd but for his own people.

Hmmmm.... Let's see here. Doves... ok. Flowers... Pretty blue sky... Cindy Sheehan giving her blessings, earlier.....

A tip of my cap and a uranium toast to you, Heir Monkeymoud Ahmadinacantprounounceyourname!

[mainepatsfan]

Isn't it vice versa?

[dhs12345]

Yup.

Iran's hard-line president said Tuesday that the country has joined the club of nuclear countries by successfully enriching uranium for the first time — a key process in what Iran maintains is a peaceful energy program.

Hey, Prime Minister Chamberlain, your legacy may live on after all.

[RightWhale]

They'll want to store their enriched uranium in fifty pound chunks to save space.

[EGPWS]

If Tehran has not complied, the council will consider the next step.

Let me guess, thousands of broken resolutions put forth by the U.N.

That will put a stop to this madness.

Mashhed, Mashhead, ...you can't make this stuff up.

And I hope those guys playing with the enriched Unanium have taken their iodine tablets this week..

But even the leaders of Britain, France and Germany are irked at having caught Iran's leaders lying about their nuclear activities in the past. Iran has no credibility.
