What, too much nuance for you? <g>

I am gasping in awe! You KNOW the crazy Mullahs will have a nuke in two plus years if they are not stopped. Sounds like when the time comes to push the old button, you will vote for Bush.

FYI, karen....Iran is working on the nukes now, if they aren't already capable of delivering them.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>On 18 June 2004 the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) adopted a resolution deploring Iran for not cooperating fully with nuclear inspectors and urging Iran to be more forthcoming. Iran said it will decide soon whether to resume uranium enrichment, after it was criticized the IAEA. Hassan Rowhani, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, said that a decision should be made "in the coming days." This left the matter open until the IAEA's next board meeting in September. Rowhani said this showed Britain, Germany and France had not kept their part of a deal from last October, under which Iran agreed to suspend enrichment: "In fact, what we reached in agreement with the Europeans in Brussels is concluded in our viewpoints," Rowhani said. "The Europeans themselves ignored the matter. They committed to closing down the file in June. Therefore, as they did not act on their commitments to our end, we are not committed anymore."

The US envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Kenneth Brill, said that if Tehran reneges on its earlier pledge to suspend uranium enrichment, it will show that Iran is determined to become a nuclear power in the region. "If Iran were to follow up on its many repeated threats to abrogate its commitments to the Europeans to suspend its enrichment work, it would be another demonstration of their true colors, that they are determined to have an enrichment program and one that goes well beyond the needs for a power program, and we think that underscores their desire to pursue military purposes for their nuclear program."

On 24 June 2004 Iran informed Britain, France and Germany that it would resume making uranium centrifuge parts, ending the October 2003 agreement with the three countries. <<<<<<<<<<
