U.S. warns Iran on nuclear threat

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States has warned Iran against resuming the enrichment of uranium, saying Tehran could face sanctions from the U.N. Security Council if it resumed its nuclear fuel work.

Iran said it would resume work at the Isfahan nuclear fuel plant unless European countries come up with a new package of economic and political incentives by Monday to keep the program off-line.

But White House spokesman Scott McClellan called the threatened resumption of uranium enrichment "an unnecessary and damaging step."

"The Europeans, along with the United States, believe that Iran should adhere to the Paris agreement and continue to work with the Europeans to resolve this issue," McClellan said.

Not a matter of if but when.

21. "I would say be concerned during a recess"

Um, congress is in recess now...
you said:

<snip>

"D. Remember the little thing they passed a while back that said that even a small group of congress critters can decide everything in case of a "emergency" or attack? Look for this to happen right after the attack. Look for the small group to be all republican. Look for the the reason they can meet and no one else because they are already in chamber during the attack, but the rest of congress is on recess and can't travel due to air travel being clamped down.

"so....I would say be concerned during a recess, that is most likely when #2 would occur.

[Lerkfish]

27. I know.

that's why I brought it up.
recess, right now, is incredibly dangerous, as we've already seen.

edited to add: you might not have realized that was a week old thread I linked to.

[bananas]

30. It was at the end of your post

a lot of times I don't read to the end of a long post.
Sheesh, Bush is on vacation too, we're really in for it.
Time to restock the bunker!

[City Lights]

22. Hold me, Lerkfish!

:scared:

Thanks for the link. I've bookmarked it.

[Lerkfish]

28. I would, but my wife would probably object. :)

I'm scared tool. The synchronicity of an "exercise" in NC DURING the recess, involving bringing in a supposedlyl fake nuclear warhead and doing a terrorist attack drill does not comfort me at all.

don't forget, NORAD and COMSAC were doing "exercises" on 9/11, too. And the exercises were to track "fake" hijacked planes.

we should all be very, very concerned.

[RONSTOO]

38. what is MIHOP?

?????

[bananas]

41. Made It Happen On Purpose

in contrast to LIHOP (Let It Happen On Purpose).

9. There is another 'exercise' planned for a nuclear incident this month.

It is in the Carolina's.

[obxhead]

14. Do you know what city??

I move there at the end of August.

18. linky here...

http://www.total911.info/2005/07/terror-drill-alert-northcomfema-nuke.html

Given that the attacks of 9/11 and 7/7 were both false flag operations masked by cimultaneous "terror drills," it behooves those of use seeking to halt the cycle of synthetic terror and expanding police state to note upcoming drills that could be used as a cover for another inside job terrorist attack. The United States Army's NORTHCOM command has announced one such drill for an indeterminate date next August.

snip

Danny, "a former anti-terror marine," wrote: "My brother in law is in the US Army, and was supposed to come home in August and his leave got canceled. I did some checking around, and it seems like a ton of leave got canceled in August for the Army and USMC. Centcom's website tells of a scary drill coming in August. They are running a drill of a 10 kiloton nuclear bomb, being smuggled into Charleston SC. Now while they run drills like this a lot, they always do it at Quantico....and BTW, August 6 and 9 are the anniversaries of Hiroshima and Nagasaki."

A number of readers noticed the upcoming Charleston "exercise." Wonder if FEMA will be there? As I wrote in the first column, "If I lived in any of the target zones above, I would keep my eyes wide open to suspicious people wearing official disguises (uniforms), flashing badges, prohibiting entry, working at odd hours performing perplexing tasks. Watch them!"

1-2-3 What are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn. The next stop is bad Iran.

10. Abandoned all pretense of subtlety

I see.

[Todd B]

12. And...

...meanwhile, the United States continues to pursue their own stockpiles of nuclear tipped ICBM's (ironically titled "Peacemakers").

I'd say that the Iran threats are right on time.. I mean, since they want to pull troops out of Iraq in 2006 we've got to put them SOMEWHERE, right? :eyes:

[wtmusic]

15. Within hours

bastards. :grr:

[iconoclastic cat]

17. Come on, let's twist again!

[daleo]

23. What about India?

It isn't part of the NPT, and has built nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them. Yet Bush plans to assist them even more.

[dbonds]

48. No Oil

PNAC plan they are working from only covers Middle East (right now).

24. kicked and nominated (nt)

25. Didn't Take Long

Man... I am a genius! Actually, it was pretty predictable.

26. Wolf!

29. US = Utterly Stupid?

Bush is a plant. We are governed by a plant. Where's my weed wacker anyway?

[AuntiBush]

31. If Israel Had "had" No Nukes Prior, the Region Would Have Been

Nuke-free. What a stinkin' mess. Diplomacy flew out the window on Nov. 3, 2000. We just didn't see it till that December.

Hope the right-wingy religion nut-bags are happy now. Thanks for reading our futures for us, aiding & abetting these key-holders of the bunkers.

P.S. No. Not the United States because we're not "united" with wanting all this crap! At least not this American!

Just sayin'! Just my viewpoint. Now, gotta do that banging of the head -- again!

:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

[Behind the Aegis]

33. True, if Israel had no nukes it would be a nuke-free region...

...but what does their having nukes have to do with anything with this story?

[AuntiBush]

37. Sharon, Chimp. Nuff Said.

[Behind the Aegis]

42. not 'nuff said...makes NO sense what so ever.

[nashville_brook]

32. so regardless if they work on nuclear fuels issues, we are going to NUKE

them to kingdom come if there is a terrast attack on the US -- regardless, again, if they had anything to do with it.

sounds like a plan to me.

[Lerkfish]

46. yup, that's the plan I think.

[Gyre]

34. I'm convinced that Bolton's

primary job is to kill the UN, but before that use it as a bullypulpet to attack Iran.

Gyre

[VegasWolf]

35. I'm worried that this administration is so insane that it would actually

deploy nuclear weapons.

[driver8]

45. I have no doubt in my mind that these insane m-fers would use

nuclear weapons.

These guys are absolutely drunk with power...nothing they do surprises me anymore.

39. Hey, don't keep us in suspense.

[symbolman]

40. This is why

I left the Mainland and moved to Hawaii.

The smart jews got the hell out of Nazi germany when they saw the writing on the wall..

and the writing on the wall is now in Blood, I ain't waiting for it to be NEON and glowing in the dark.

Watch Catch 22 and pay particular attention to the Corporate guy who bombs his own base to save the Germans the time and money...

[Hobarticus]

44. But, the UN's a toothless tiger, I thought...

UN sanctions don't work, I thought...

The UN's corrupt and hopelessly insignificant, I thought...

I can't keep up.

[halobeam]

47. And hopefully the public doesn't catch on to the WP report yesterday....

Iran is a decade away from having nuclear weapons....

49. This Administration is insane.

[classysassy]

50. Listen up you backward

nations of the world,only white nations can have nukes.

[Rex]

51. China has nukes, so does India, Egypt and a lot more.

The thing is...they don't have MEGAHUGE oil reserves. No wonder China is increasing its military power.

WW3 anyone?
