And there you have it. Thus is the beginnings of the next invasion. Mark my words. This is all they will need to convince 51% of our voters and dismiss concerns raised by the United Nations and then we will have two complete desert-ridden countries all to ourselves - won't that be great? | | Reply To this Message

Then again, maybe that won't matter - Bush is on a capital spending roll!! Is anyone actually still signing up for military service in the States at the moment?? | | Reply To this Message

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran denied an exiled opposition group's allegations it was secretly seeking material to build an atomic bomb, a senior official said on Thursday.
(...)
Hossein Mousavian, foreign policy committee secretary at Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said that was a lie.

Indeed - though how surprising would it be for someone to deny a secret when confronted?  Where should the burden of proof lay at this point? | | Reply To this Message

VIENNA, Austria (AP) - Iran is spending the last few days before it must stop all work related to uranium enrichment converting tons of ore into a dual-use gas that could then be processed to make nuclear weapons, diplomats said Friday.
Iran recently started producing uranium hexafluoride at its gas processing facilities in Isfahan, the diplomats told The Associated Press. When introduced into centrifuges and spun, the substance can be enriched to low levels for use as fuel to generate electricity or to levels high enough to make weapons-grade uranium that forms the core of nuclear warheads.

| quote: |
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The source of intelligence used this week by U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell to suggest Iran is working on a nuclear weapons program may not be reliable, knowledgeable sources told CNN Friday.
The issue surfaced when The National Council of Resistance of Iran -- which is on the U.S. State Department's list of terrorist organizations --revealed satellite photographs this week it said showed a hidden nuclear plant in Iran, allegations the Iranians denied.
