Iran Plans New Nuclear Enrichment Plants
Iran's state news agency IRNA says the government has ordered its Atomic Energy Organization to begin construction of five new facilities to enrich uranium and come up with plans for five additional future sites, the London Times and other news organizations are reporting.

The announcement came just two days after the United Nations' nuclear watchdog group, the International Atomic Energy Agency, demanded that Iran immediately freeze operations at a once-secret enrichment plant near the holy city of Qum. Russia and China, which had previously balked at joining strong statements of rebuke of Iran endorsed the demand.
Iran responded to the IAEA resolution today with Parliament calling on the government to reduce cooperation with the UN agency.
"Because of world powers' hasty behaviour, the Government should submit its plan over reducing Iran's cooperation level with the agency," the Parliament said in a statement.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs issued this statement: "If true, this would be yet another serious violation of Iran's clear obligations under multiple UN security council resolutions, and another example of Iran choosing to isolate itself. The international community has made clear that Iran has rights, but with those rights come responsibilities. As the overwhelming IAEA board of governors vote made clear, time is running out for Iran to address the international community's growing concerns about its nuclear program."

Here comes the Islamic bomb that the original ayatollahs said they wanted. Might be time for Israel to act.

This is the most important issue of our times! No one seems to want to address it. WHY???? This is like giving a loaded gun to a child. It is only a matter of time. Yes, it is a possible avenue to ask the Isralaies for help, we've helped them for many years.

It's time to blow the Supreme Ayatollah, President Alphabet Soup, and the rest of the Islamic Extremists/radicals back into the Stone Age (which in many cases is only 40-50 miles from their big cities)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!They've proven that they can't act as adults or responsible individuals!

The ayatollah has made it clear why he wants nuclear weapons, to destroy the "Litte" and "Great" Satans of the world, Israel and the U.S. The current president has also made anti semetic comments. Annihilating the Jews is a goal of theirs. So they believe to have the divine right to acquire nuclear weapons to destroy nations, and then they act of their words. I would say that is a probable cause for action. Look into the 1979 Iranian revolution.

This will up the ante for the Israelis to hit Iran. Meanwhile, our Moron-in-Chief, Obama, and the ineffective Secretary of State, Thunder Thighs Clinton, do nothing but tell the Israelis not to build any more houses on the West Bank. Both of them should be focusing on the letal problem in Iran, instead of dealing with insignificant issues. This situation, like so many others, just illustrates the undeniable fact that Obama, with his total lack of experience, is completely inadequate to the task.

This is just another indication of the respect the United States and our apologetic President now have.
I would rather have a cowboy, cowgirl or a moose hunter as President who engenders respect and a little fear than a pompous ass with no courage and a driving desire to be liked rather than respected.

Yep, we can all sleep with ease. Our Mr. America President has the Iranians right where he wants them. N. Korea also is trembling in their boots. Russia is bending over backwards to please our President.

Unfortunately, I believe Israel has had about enough of the constant threats, Iran supplying the Palestinians with arms and rockets, and the fact that Iran continues to pursue manufacturing an atomic weapon. I don't know of another Country that has been as tolerant as Israel in the last 60 years. Rocket attacks into residential areas for the last 40 years.
My estimate would be that Israel will do their best to destroy Irans nuclear plants before March of next year. All the signs are there.

The Iranians must have a big laugh each night before they go to sleep thinking about who we have for a President. Kind of like how many of you joked about Bush. LOL

Iran is thumbing their noses at the world like Saddam's Iraq did. They don't respect the U. N. or Obama. Bush didn't give Saddam time to expand his WMD weapons. Looks like Obama is going to give Iraq all the time they want.
