let’s hope so.
Amedi the midget was claiming during his speech that they already had 20% enrichment and could do “80%” if possible but they won’t. Another comment said BS, they had a molybodum (spelling?) contamination problem so Amedi was full of it. Also something to do with ‘lazers’
crowds were fed cake for cheering him
green crowds are tearing down the loudspeakers that are broadcasting death to the usa, death to UK, death to russia (!) - crowds are responding with ‘death to dictator’ and ‘death to Khomeni’
green crowd 10K strong now at prison - looks like they may try to take it

From twitter: The world should know these camera shots from Iranian state TV DO NOT LOOK RIGHT! Very strange! #iranelection #22bahman #NO2IR

hmmmmmmmmmmm

Hmmmmmmmm was what I just said when ABC News did a report on Iran a minute ago. The crowd shots didn't look right - - some were obviously many years old (black and white clips). I figured they were clips the Iranian gov't. was allowing to be shown, not current clips.

twitter posts say the tv stuff is old, and they are using green filters to make protestors look like regular supporters.

Yes, I caught those posts after I saw the piece in TV.
I’m praying hard for those folks in Iran right now as I follow this thread. It’s ugly over there.

AN and his minions must realize that they have sons and daughters too. In time, some may say too bad. Patience, in some quarters is a virtue.

Another tweeter said the Iranian TV station used a filter to hide the fact that the crowd was wearing green.

Ahmadinejad Says Iran Is Now a ‘Nuclear State’
By ALAN COWELL
Published: February 11, 2010

PARIS — Ignoring United States threats of more stringent sanctions, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was quoted on Thursday as saying Iran had produced a first batch of uranium enriched to a level of 20 percent that it was capable of achieving much higher levels of purity.

Iran was now “a nuclear state,” Mr. Ahmadinejad told a huge rally of supporters on the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, The Associated Press reported.
