Russian Source - US Iran Strike Near?

T S Eliot's famous opening lines from The Waste Land come to mind as Washington confirms that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is heading for the Middle East to attend an international conference regarding the Iraq situation, in Kuwait on April 22. This will be no ordinary run-of-the-mill international conference. It's about Iraq. And Rice may well bump into her Iranian counterpart, Manouchehr Mottaki.

“A war or a rumor of war? Time will tell.”

Ummmm, Matthew 24, one of my most favorite chapters in the Bible.

Agreed

If the US were to strike the centrifuges, the released UF4 would catch fire, expelling huge amounts of radioactive smoke, and potentially blanketing a large area. Not unlike Chernobyl, it would create a huge "Dead Zone" around the site, although the local contamination would be orders of magnitude larger than Chernobyl, due to the fact that most of the uranium is in a gaseous form, and readily distributed in the air.

We need to think long and hard before carrying out such a strike.

But it is over Iraq that Tehran is making overtures. Tehran knows the US position is eroding fast in Iraq.

This clown is so off base it's not funny. Besides, the headline has no relation to the article.

Iran should have thought about it before attacking America in 1979 and thereafter.

I thought it was UF6. It would seem to me that it would be difficult to burn this stuff. I am assuming that the U-F bonds are pretty stong.
