IAEA: Unexplained Plutonium, Enriched Uranium Traces Found in Iran

VIENNA, Austria — Experts from the have found unexplained and traces in a nuclear waste facility in Iran and have asked Tehran for an explanation, an IAEA report said Tuesday.

The report, prepared for next week's meeting of the 35-nation IAEA, also faulted Tehran for not cooperating with the agency's attempts to investigate suspicious aspects of Iran's nuclear program that have lead to fears it might be interested in developing nuclear arms.

The four-page report made available to The Associated Press also confirmed that Iran has continued uranium enrichment experiments in defiance of the U.N. Security Council.

I think I could explain the plutonium -- let me see -- Iran is trying to make a nuclear weapon?

We can be sure that the IAEA has known about this for many weeks if not months or years, and that it would have been leaked before Nov. 7 if it had weighed against Pres. Bush. Instead, the 'Rats at the IAEA kept it under wraps until after our elections (which we know they monitor since they have tried to sway us with leaks and reports in the past).

Now we have the Chamberlain-Demagogues in power to show how tough they can be with Iran......




VIENNA, Austria — Experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency have found unexplained plutonium and enriched uranium traces in a nuclear waste facility in Iran and have asked Tehran for an explanation, an IAEA report said Tuesday.

Iran pushes onward with its nuclear weapons programs and the world fiddles.... now we have the tough Chamberlain-Demagogues in power ready to show their fortitude in "talking" with Ah'm'a-whackoff..... what a world.

p.s. Is the IAEA really still having trouble with understanding such "unexplained" radioactive traces????

This is as surprising as the Dems naming their leaders, before the votes are final and before they take over in January.

I never thought I would say this. Maybe we attacked the wrong country. If we pull out of Iraq the Iranians will take over and will become a formidable foe. Something Saddam was not capable of doing. Iran is rubbing in our nose Nuclear capabilities and we turn our backs. Mr President, you have the duty to go nose to nose with this country.

Bush has to 'fix' this.
6 years we've heard "Axis of Evil".
Now its "Nexus of Terror."
What next, "Hub of Hades"?
Its time to fix this instead of power lunches with Pelosi. That dog don't hunt.

It's not that we attacked the wrong country, it's that we stopped attacking countries after Iraq.

Take out the biggest army (Iraq) then use the country as a staging area to take out its neighbors.

We stopped at the halfway point.

I'm sure in 2006 plutonium is available at every corner drugstore, but in 1955 it's a little hard to come by.

I expect nothing good from the donks on this, but unfortunately W. hasn't doing much more than talking tough on Iran and Syria for the past year, either. Yes, the donks will be worse, but I haven't been impressed with the president's empty warnings.

Short memory, eh?

First, Saddam signed a piece of paper in 1991 that said, and I quote, "I am your bitch." At that point, Iraq had lost its sovereignty if it failed to live up to bitch conditions.

But the whole world was being bribed by Saddam, so they didn't want to deal with him when he didn't live up to them.

We didn't go into Iran because they hadn't signed that piece of paper.

We're doing Iran the way the UN and the "international community" wanted to deal with Iraq. And you see how that's worked out.

If you thought Iraq was difficult, just imagine what it would have been like going into Iran in 2003, with no bitch document.

Don't be silly. Iran is a peaceful nation. All they want is to provide a cheap, reliable source of electricity for their citizens.

And if you believe that, I have some beach-front property on the outskirts of Wichita to sell you.

And what will the dims do? Negotiations, negotiations, negotiations. Peace through appeasment.
