Inspectors in Iran Find Highly Enriched Uranium at an Electrical Plant

NITED NATIONS, Sept. 25 — Inspectors for the International Atomic Energy Agency have found traces of highly enriched uranium at an electrical plant on the outskirts of Tehran, the second site where such evidence of unreported enrichment activities has been discovered in recent months, a Western diplomat with access to the agency's reports said today.


The finding, the result of environmental sampling at the Kalaye Electric Company plant, further ratcheted up pressure on Iran, which earlier this month was given until Oct. 31 to prove that its nuclear program is intended solely for peaceful purposes.

Speaking to reporters in Washington today, President Bush said, "It is very important for the world to come together to make it very clear to Iran that there will be universal condemnation if they continue with a nuclear weapons program."

1. Of course they have! It really took some ingenuity for the...

..."inspectors" to smuggle the enriched uranium across the Iranian border.

4. I highly doubt that it's planted

This is the IAEA, not Bush, and it's Iran, not Iraq.

Russia shipped them the basic parts for a reactor core in November of 2001, and they've been working on a nuclear program. They say it's for power, which it probably is, but they're probably making weapons.

Of course, we were too busy with Oil War 1 in Afghanistan to take notice, then we were too busy trying to start Oil War 2 in Iraq to do anything.

2. Or...

"It is very important for the world to come together to make it very clear to the United States that there will be universal condemnation if they continue with a nuclear weapons program."

3. What a dolt!

Do you think even a hard core idiot Republican could fall for this nonsense again? Besides, most countries would probably rather have Iran with nucs than the US.
