I thought electing Barack Obama was supposed to put an end to the madness.
Today is the 31st anniversary of the Iranian Revolution. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad used the occasion to make a big announcement.
Daily Mail: He said it [Iran] had produced its first batch of 20 per cent enriched uranium – and had the capability to enrich to far higher levels at its Natanz plant.
Enriching uranium produces fuel for a nuclear power plants but can also be used to create material for atomic weapons.
The international community has warned Iran against further enrichment activities, threatening new UN sanctions.
Today Gordon Brown again reiterated the threat of sanctions.
‘I believe the mood around the world is now increasingly one where, patience not being inexhaustible, people are turning to look at the specific sanctions we can plan on Iran,’ Mr Brown said.
‘This is a critical time for Iran’s relationship with the rest of the world.’
MrBrown said the international community did not want to impose sanctions but would do so if Iran did not cooperate more fully over its nuclear plans
The Iranian leader insisted the material was not intended to produce an atomic bomb, however.
‘We have the capability to enrich uranium more than 20 percent or 80 percent (the level needed to create an atomic bomb),’ he said in a speech broadcast live on state television.
‘But we don’t enrich (to this level) because we don’t need it…
Maybe it’s time for the West to stop talking about sanctions and start doing something.
Via memeorandum
I feel oh so safe now.
Thank you Hope and Change.

The West is about to find out why we’re in Iraq. It’s about controlling the real estate in the region. Always was, still is, and thankfully it WILL be. History is going to be kinder to “W” and Tony Blair than to Obama and Gordon Brown, I think.

I agree with Liberty. Obama and Brown fiddle while Iran develops nukes.

Ahmadinejad may spout off all he wants, but if Israel feels or knows of a real tangible threat, I think devastating action will be taken. Israel will insure these suicidal cult members won’t be a threat to them or the rest of the world, but it could be a bumpy ride.
