U.N. Finds New Uranium Traces in Iran (2nd Discovery, 1st was in 2003!!!!!!)

NYT ^ | May 13, 2006 | WILLIAM J. BROAD

[FairOpinion]

Atomic inspectors have found traces of highly enriched uranium on equipment linked to an Iranian military base, raising new questions about whether Iran harbors a clandestine program to make nuclear bombs, diplomats said yesterday.

It is the second such discovery in three years of United Nations inspections in Iran.

The first episode involving a mystery of highly enriched uranium began in late 2003, when the inspectors did environmental sampling of some Iranian centrifuges — machines that spin extremely quickly to enrich, or concentrate, uranium into fuel for reactors and bombs — and found traces of the radioactive material.

And the UN still doesn't want to sanction Iran!!!

Oops, is it still too late for somebody to say "Weapons Of Mass Destruction Found In Iraq?"

[FairOpinion]

Oops, this is Iran. ;)

But it does apply to both.

In Iraq there were tons of yellow cake, which the MSM didn't think counted as WMD.

But the point is that Iran is much closer to having a bomb, than many think. And if we hadn't gone into Iraq, they may well be very close too.

Wasn't there Sarin gas found in the Euphrates river during the Iraq war?? Like traces of Uranium will matter, everyone forgets about it all in about 3 days.

ElBaradei: Terrorist threat greater than Iran


Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST May. 12, 2006

The world should be more worried about nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists than about Iran's nuclear program, the head of the UN's nuclear watchdog agency said Friday.

Mohamed ElBaradei, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said there is no military solution to the standoff with Iran over its determination to continue its uranium enrichment program.

But he said the risk that terrorists could acquire a nuclear weapon was of greater concern.

Earth to bought toady of the proliferators - the Iranian government consists of terrorists.

Iraq's possession of more Uranium than reported, and more enriched Uranium than originally known was not the same as having stockpiles of WMD's...

Umm.... There's some kind of reasoning for that assertion, but I'm at a loss as to why a madman with tons of Uranium and a bunch of enriched Uranium that he shouldn't have had, is not considered a direct threat to America. Hold on, let me check with CNN, I'm sure they covered this... No... Maybe MSNBC... Nope. Hmm... CBS? No....

I guess we should just accept that Uranium intended for enrichment, and Uranium that had already been enriched were not a threat of any kind.

To stick a finger in the eye of the US and especially George W. Bush, the world will happily give terrorists nuclear weapons. What's a few million dead innocents compared to a 5% better chance of picking up 10 seats this fall, or reducing US power a few notches?

And the difference would be ...?

We found cylosarin war heads and some of them, along with mustard gas warheads, were used as ieds against our troops. We found what we said he had and the msm spun it as "Oh, it's just a few old ones and saddam probably overlooked them". I remember the unbiased reporting by martha raditz "We'll see if this rusty old shell can be used as an excuse to justify this war".

Theses asses are playing politics with our troops lives and they aren't good enough to clean their boots.

where in the world is Hans Blitz? lmao

Yeah, they found Sarin, Ricin and depleted uranium used in warheads (which were banned by the UN cease fire). We also found equipment used to enrich uranium. The whole problem is that we haven't found "stockpiles" of WMDs. The media and their democratic masters lie everyday about there being no WMDs found in Iraq. We have found thousands of pounds of WMDs and it was in the first report issued after the invasion.

Its just like the media and the spinmeisters keep saying that Bush is 'wiretapping' and 'eavesdropping' on domestic phone calls. That is also a complete lie and a deliberate effort to misidentify what the NSA is actually doing so they can try to convince the voting public that Bush is FINALLY violating their civil rights after all these years. Still, nobody yet has a good case of having their rights violated so far. Jose Padilla tried and even he didn't get a judge to agree with his ACLU lawyers.
