| Nuke Gear found in Iran - What a shock! |
| 2004-02-19 |
| U.N. I know which one I’d bet on The International Atomic Energy Agency, whose inspectors are examining Iran’s nuclear activities for signs it was trying to create weapons, declined comment. Still looking for a reason to explain it away I’m sure. Confronted with evidence it had hid for nearly two decades, Iran last year acknowledged running an enrichment program but says it is only to Whats this!?! The black turbans are not being honest?, say it ain’t so. The diplomats, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the designs were of a P-2 centrifuge -- more advanced than the P-1 model Iran has acknowledged using to enrich uranium for what is says are peaceful purposes. They said preliminary investigations by inspectors working for the International Atomic Energy Agency indicated they matched drawings of equipment found in Libya and supplied by the Pakistani network headed by scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan. I think we can scarcely imagine the amount of damage Khan has done. Despite putting into question Iran’s pledge to be fully open, the finds do not advance suspicions that Tehran was trying to make nuclear weapons because of the dual use of enriched uranium. C’mon guys, If it quacks like a duck... But the location given by the diplomats of the advanced centrifuge -- at the air base -- cast doubt on Iranian claims that its military was not involved in the country’s nuclear program. Lets have a show of hands, Who is suprised by any of this? Better yet, who doubts that the west will be confronted by a nuclear armed Iran in the next 10 years? |
