TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran's president says Iran has begun installing 6,000 centrifuges at its uranium enrichment plant in Natanz.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced the work on state television on Tuesday.

Iran already has about 3,000 centrifuges operating in Natanz. The new announcement is seen as a show of defiance of international demands to halt a nuclear program.

The U.S. and its allies say the program is aimed at building nuclear weapons. Iran denies those allegations.

That will vastly reduce the estimated time before they have enough weapons grade material for weapons.

Everyone is in denial and Iran is just going to keep pushing the world for a response. They’ll probably put one in different cities across the USA as we go about our everyday lives.

If the Iranian nuclear ‘weapons’ sites, coupled with the terrorist instigating régime are not totally removed, we will only have ourselves to blame if those jihadist savages begin obliterating our cities.

Plus, they will be using their WMDs on Israel, perhaps before attacking America.

One good thing about McCain, he understands how necessary war with Iran is.

You would think the Iranians would of learned a lesson from the Syrians, their pets. Didn't the Syrians, just a few months past have a North Korean nuclear plant, and now just a dirt pile? Strike one. Same way with Saddam and his Mitterand/Fwench built reactor. Strike two.

To a culture that hates it's own life, bringing nukes down upon itself would take out a good part, if not all of the ME, including Israel.

Having accomplished the ultimate end, those that are left, imbedded around the world, can then rise up and continue with a more 'justified' vengeance, taking over the world.

There is only ONE issue in this presidential campaign that could dramatically alter the future of the Free World over the long-term and that issue is Iran.

If Iran is allowed to get nuclear weapons, generations into the future will look back at the current generation and ask,”How in the world could they have let this happen?”

It will make Europe in the 1930s look like a dress rehearsal.

Imo, war with Iran should be avoided if possible, but, on the other hand, taking out their nuclear enrichment capabilities is a necessity. There are too many good people in Iran to subject them to the unnecessary devastation of a 'War'. They just have no voice right now. With a little chaos such as precision strikes, the people might rise up against Ahmedinnerjacket and the Mullahs of Iran.
