Iran has been referred to Security council!!

[AGENDA21]

The International Atomic Energy Agency has voted to refer Iran to the United Nations Security Council.

The move follows Iran's decision to resume its nuclear research programme.

Iran has stressed it is only interested in research, but there are widespread fears that it is looking to produce nuclear weapons.

1. Damn...

Rummy wants to play with his nukes. Must have run out of chemical weapons.

God, these people are collectively insane.

[bananas]

2. At least another month for that

"There will now be a delay before the UN acts as two permanent council members, Russia and China, only agreed to referral on the condition that no council action can be taken at least until March."

[Delphinus]

6. And that reminds me of an e-mail I received on the subject of

the Ides of March (and Iran).

What is more likely to happen is an economic meltdown and a death blow to the empire. This is likely to begin in March, 2006.



DEAD MAN WALKING

The US and Israel Cannot Attack Iran

The American Empire is Finished
One Way or the Other

I am certain that – barring divine intervention – the United States is finished; not only as a superpower, but possibly even as a single, unified nation…

Michael C. Ruppert, Sept. 21, 2005

January 27, 2006 0800 PST (FTW): The reason why so many Americans on the left and right, whether supporters or opponents of Neocon tyranny in Washington, are “sold” on the idea that American or Israeli air strikes against Iran will take place this March (or soon thereafter) is simple. It is more frightening for them to ponder the prospect of an impotent America standing exposed and vulnerable in a world that largely – and for good reason – hates it. Global economic meltdown, chaos and nuclear war are more scary than the evil that Americans have incrementally compromised themselves into endorsing. The uncertainty of a world no longer tethered to a US center – even one that many verbally oppose – represents an intolerable leap into the unknown. That leap, however, is a fait accompli.

The US bluffs onward with its saber-rattling rhetoric but the whole planet is calling that bluff. Foreign investment in Iran is increasing, not decreasing. The planet is throwing money into Iran.

Every day I receive three or four stories from diverse sources – marginal internet researchers and mainstream media outlets – stating why an attack on Iran is, a good idea, or likely, or inevitable. In these two companion pieces, FTW’s Military Affairs Editor, Stan Goff (retired US Army Special Forces and former West Point instructor) and I delineate the reasons why such an attack will not (and probably cannot) happen. That is, of course, with one remotely necessary caveat: that stupidity beyond belief has overtaken the US and Israel. I would rephrase that to also include suicidal tendencies beyond belief. Stan and I both know something about these kinds of operations. I’ve been studying them for 30 years and Stan has been living them for that long.

Any military attack on Iran of any kind will mean the end of the world as we know it. The same thing is true of a US-sponsored assassination attempt on Hugo Chavez or any other “regime change” or intervention anywhere. All such developments would be universally perceived as US-sanctioned in any case. There is much less reason to fear the US than there was three or four years ago. Near-toothless tigers with bad gums and fetid gingivitis breath do not inspire fear and awe. They invite attack. A pressure-cooker of pent-up global rage against the US awaits only a pinprick to make it blow.

16. Jeeeeeezus.

"Better refugee south right quick, ma'am. If you'll excuse me, ma'am..."

(Line borrowed from "Gone With the Wind".)

7. Lets hope that U.S can wait for 1 month.

[SpiralHawk]

11. Isn't Bolton in some key Chairmanship job this month?

Saw that posted the other day -- how he was peeved that Delegates weren't coming to his briefings on time.

Hmmmm? Very interesting...

[meganmonkey]

12. March - when the Iranian oil bourse

is scheduled to go into effect.

Their timing is slightly better this time than it was when Saddam switched to the Euro.

:scared:

[doublethink]

14. March 20th. n.t.

[ixion]

3. and a US nuke in an Iranian pile of sand means

radioactive sand in the geosphere, which means we'll all get to play along. :-(

[greekspeak]

4. The headlines will tout the "bald glowing and tumorous" look...

as totally in and rad for the young set, and fully spectacular for the old set too. Never mind the dead bodies stacking up like cord-wood, the non-potable water, and that nuclear winter thing. You can always have a three headed mink coat if you are rich and live long enough to get to the furrier.

[Todd B]

5. The US has a lot of nerve to condemn Iran for starting a nuclear programme

..while remaining the *only* country that has ever used one on another country.

So, does the march to Bush's next disaster start now?

:grr:

[PlasticinePorter]

8. It's scary!!

Really scary!

[PlasticinePorter]

9. Really

Really, really scary!

[AGENDA21]

10. Really,Really scarey indeed!!

[LuCifer]

13. Here's some stuff to think about...

Super Bowl is where? Detroit. And what ethic group does the Detroit area have a whole shitpot load of? ARABS!
Who's gonna be at there performing? The Stones. Hmm, didn't they piss off DUHbya with that "Sweet Neocon" song?
Next month, Iran's oil gets traded in EUROS. Uh oh! The BU$Hitler & Co. Crime Syndicate can't be having that G!
Iran just got refered to the security counsil, and we know what happened last time a country *COUGH*IRAQ*COUGH* got refered to the secruity counsil: WAR!

[No Exit]

17. Yes. As does Israel.

And the whole thing is just a front, anyway, because Our Leaders just can't bring themselves to tell the truth: "Please don't start that bourse because it'll make a lot of us rich people hemorrhage money!"

I'm about ready to say, "Iran, PLEASE start the bourse now! I'm eager to see them all go bust... me, I have little to lose and in any event it will be SO worth it just to see those rich people lose what is most dear to them: money."

[spanone]

15. Shrub must be proud of his little Johnny Bolton!

I'm sure this is one of the main reasons he fucked America and slid this slimy turd in during a Congressional Recess.

How long till we shove the UN aside and bomb the shit out of Iran????
Deja Vu all over again.
