Highly enriched uranium found in Iran
United Press International ^ | September 1, 2006

Posted on 09/01/2006 9:33:47 AM PDT by BradtotheBone

UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- The International Atomic Energy Agency told the U.N. Security Council its inspectors have found new traces of enriched uranium in Iran.

The discovery marked the third instance that highly enriched uranium was found at an Iranian facility, but the IAEA said the nuclear fingerprint on the new discovery does not match that found on earlier samples, which the agency had concluded came from contaminated equipment from Pakistan, The New York Times reported Friday.

The 6-page IAEA report did not identify where the uranium might have originated or whether it was connected to a secret nuclear program in Iran. The country has insisted that its nuclear program is aimed only at producing energy, a task that would use uranium enriched at much lower levels than that found by the IAEA inspectors.

The report said that Iran was continuing to produce enriched uranium at low levels and on a small scale at its Natanz facility.

The Security Council had set Thursday as a deadline for Iran to discontinue enrichment, and a failure to comply by the country could result in economic and political penalties.

In other news, Alternate Reality land caught President John Kerry speaking to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan without knowing his mic was still on:

Wow! It looks like it may be time for an ultimatum! And if they ignore that ultimatum, we'll give them a really, really big ultimatum, which they better not ignore. Otherwise, it's more ultimatums, buddy!

Commenting on the unintentional gaffe, Kerry said "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Bush's blah blah blah fault blah blah blah"

This is no doubt just normal, naturally-occuring enriched Uranium that you would find anywhere - in hospitals, playgrounds, churches, and orphanages. No reason for alarm.

Alternate Reality land....Hehehe! That's good. You could start a whole thread on that and have people describe what it looks like.

Can't be true I saw Allen Combs, last night, say they found nothing.

If there was ever a "nuke 'em all" moment, this is it...for two reasons:

The first is that they are developing nukes to use against Israel and the US.

The second is to shut that beady-eyed little asshole up for good.

Regarding #2...I am now accepting donations for a goodwill mission to Iran.

I promise that once in front of Ahmanutjob, I'll do nothing more than kick the shit out of him for a few hours.

When I'm finished, I'll need a ride home, so make it a round-trip, one day flight.

Thanks.

...or that a "mere" 200 nukes is sufficient to kill 1.2 billion Muslims.

It's a good start, if 1.2 billion Muslims are all a threat to Israel (or the rest of the civilized world).

Digging through other coverage, the amount found is described as "particles". The discovery was actually made a year ago, and the level of enrichment is described as "not weapons grade, but very high".
