This is deja vu all over again. The last time this happened was before we invaded Iraq, and we all know what happened with the supposed weapons of mass destruction, dont we? Lets see? How will this unfold?

1) We give Iran an ultimatum to get rid of its nuclear weapons program.

2) We bomb Iran.

3) We find that Iran had no nuclear weapons program (which is what the IAEA has been saying all along, just as it had said about Iraq in 2003).

4) We spin the mission, saying its about getting rid of an evil dictator.

deja vu............

That about covers it. I can add one more thing. Some Americans cannot feel patriotic about our nation unless being lied to is part of the deal. Its pretty pathetic.

Article is here.
 
Ummm . . .

Iran makes no bones whatsoever about having a nuclear program.

Of course, if it did follow along those lines, all those Democrats who are right now blasting the President for not taking the Iran threat seriously enough will suddenly have three bags full of "I didn't think Iran was a threat."

Actually, Iran is talking about nuclear power, not nuclear weapons. There is a huge difference, and we are also talking about 2 distinct methods of enrichment. The IAEA has found that Iran's enrichment only works for nuclear power, not weapons.

But the line you parroted is the same as what the administration is saying, which is why it is dishonest.

Then why did the IAEA recommend that the UN pass a resolution to end Iran's uranium enrichment? If you think that one of the worlds largest natural gas and oil producers needs nuclear power then well . . . .:roll:

No ones ever said that Iran has the bomb only that they are working on the bomb:

Nuclear Weapons

Recent Developments:

Implementation of the NPT Safeguards Agreement in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Report of the International Atomic Energy Agency, 8 June 2006.


There are ongoing investigations by the International Atomic Energy Agency concerning Iran's compliance with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. At the end of August 2003, the IAEA stated in a confidential report leaked to the media that trace elements of Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) were found in an Iranian nuclear facility. In June of 2003, a IAEA Director General report stated that Iran had not met the obligations required of it by the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. A November 2003 report identified further violations. In February 2004 it was discovered that Iran had blueprints for an advanced centrifuge design usable for uranium enrichment that it had withheld from nuclear inspectors. In December 2003, Iran signed an additional protocol authorizing IAEA inspectors to make intrusive, snap inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities. The protocol was signed as an addition to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Remaining uncertainties surrounding Iran's uranium enrichment activities were addressed in the IAEA's November 2004 report. IAEA deputy director for safeguards Pierre Goldschmidt reported in June 2005 that Iran had admitted to separating out small amounts of plutonium as recently as 1998.

And you're spouting Ahmadinejad's line and so is ElBaradei.

Not so, the method of enrichment Iran is working on can produce the material for both weapons as well as that for a nuclear reactor.

From the article I linked to, this is what the IAEA actually said about the falsified data in the American report:

The letter said the report falsely described Iran to have enriched uranium at its pilot centrifuge plant to weapons-grade level in April, whereas IAEA inspectors had made clear Iran had enriched only to a low level usable for nuclear power reactor fuel.

Next lie, please.

True . . . this man speeks the truth; what do we do about it?
