This song is just for the insane Mullahs and insane Islamofacist thugs in charge of Iran:

My secret love is no secret any more!

It’s a secret - go figure.

Using Google Earth and the photo of the supposed area provided with the story originating in the Arab media....I went to the city described and then searched along the river (needed for cooling) for area using an overlay.

Once I found the exact area, Google Earth displays the coordinates in the lower left hand corner.

My point is....looking at the area through Google Earth, there is nothing there that hints at a nuclear facility unless it is underground (and save having a power plant nearby, there is nothing that hints at that).

Google Earth’s lag(time) is not that bad.

I dont see anything there...is this a story spun up by Iranian Arabs in order to hype America or Israel into a strike against the Iranian Persians?

Is this just a matter of the image provided by the Arab media being incorrect?

I you look along the lower left (through google earth) of the supposed location, you do indeed see an area that appears to have had structures removed. However, there is no indication of a wall around the area or any demoloition or construction taking place. No piping to the river which could’ve long since been underway. Nobody guarding the area etc, etc.

Am I to believe Google Earth snapped a shot between demolition and construction?

I’m not saying the story is BS but I’d like to see something other than clear, unoccupied land before I go for a Nuke construction site.

Yup, that’s a theory too.

IMO, if true, such a facility that close to Iraq would be either to provoke and bait, or to mask something else.

‘Secret N-plant Discovered at Al-Zarqan Area’

That’s Monday’s headline.

Wednesday’s headline SHOULD read:

‘Smoking Crater Observed at Al-Zarqan Area’”

Anything here tied to Olmert’s announcement which should have been made at 10 AM pacific time today???

“N-plant”? Nuclear is now the n-word?
Does Jesse Jackson know?

Bushear is closer to American aircraft carriers in the gulf than this site is to the Iraq border.

I dont see what it could mask.

The question then becomes...how backdated is the Google Earth shot?

I think the satellite photo is dated 9/3/06.

Take a look at the very bottom of the image, just slightly to the right. The date is there, and to the left of that is the latitude, longitude and elevation info. On the far right is the altitude of the shot.

Thanks.

Then I reckon we need something up to date.

You ever get the feeling that the US doesn’t know that we’re at war with Iran?

I'm guessing they don't make "N-words" at an "N-Plant"...

How about this: 31°22’36.75”N 48°42’20.37”E Industrial Buildings

and

31°22’25.54”N 48°43’36.94”E Round emplacements

Near the river, near the airstrip.

I mean there are locations all up and down that river. I cant go off of supposition (especially considering my untrained eye). I’m going off of the site identified by the arabs.

The location identified has been cleared since at least September of 06 (a year) yet they’re supposedly just now giving the order to build.

I dunno.
