He spoke as tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Tehran to mark the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution. There are fears of violence as opposition and pro-government supporters are expected to meet at rallies in a show of popular strength unmatched since the revolution itself.

He said it had produced its first batch of 20 per cent enriched uranium - and had the capability to enrich to far higher levels at its Natanz plant.

Bullcrap. If they were really a “nuclear state”, they would demonstrate it by a very public nuclear explosion.

“The “No Nukes” Hollywood Reds are surprisingly silent.”

As is the media. I have had FOX on all day and have seen coverage about Iran and the protests....but until I saw this thread, I heard NOTHING about Ahmadinejad’s nuclear state ‘announcement’!

Remember, it was the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE)late in Bush’s last term, which said Iran was only enriching uranium for peaceful purposes, and it tied Bush’s hands, so he could do nothing militarily or even in terms of sanctions to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The media jumped on the NIE, and declared peace in our time, and 2 years later, look what we have? I want to know WHO AUTHORED THAT NIE?, and I want Congress to have a full investigation just like they did when we couldn’t find WMD in Iraq. This should be just as big a deal as not finding WMD. Where is the outcry? It needs to be heard. We are the boss of these politicians and it is time that we be a heck of a tough boss. Instead we treat them like an politically correct HR department; we don’t have to that. We can give the hell with our dissent; they deserve every bit of it.

aggghhh...you know, every time I see his photo, I’m disgusted that we’ve never acknowledged him as responsible for taking America hostages. He should have been arrested the minute he stepped foot into this country. I haven’t figured out what our government has to gain from ignoring it.

He’s begging for an attack as a means of fomenting nationalist support in order to counter the uprising.

hold on a sec whilst i tighten down the screws on my reynold wrap bonnet...

ok, here goes...

bambamhussein is reeeeaaaalllly hurtin politically, as is his brother acccckkkkmindeedanutjob, so is the real possibilty to use this as a manufactured crisis???

to have the US military whack the Iranian protesters in an attempt to neutralize the nukes, and to give bambam a poll bounce for being serious about security...

if i were a protester in Iran, Id steer clear of any rallies around Natanz...

I love how the diaperheads take to the streets waving oversized pictures of the Ayatolla (old white-bearded) and nothing more.

We should take to the streets in the U.S. and wave posters of Colonel Sanders.
