Iran Busted

Ahmadinejad  You Lie!  http://mariopiperni.com/

.

After years of denying they were preparing to build nuclear weapons, comes this:

President Obama and leaders of Britain and France accused Iran on Friday of building a secret underground plant to manufacture nuclear fuel, saying the country has hidden the covert operation from international weapons inspectors for years.

President Nicholas Sarkozy of France, appearing beside Mr. Obama, said that Iran had deadline of two months to comply with international demands or face increased sanctions.

“The level of deception by the Iranian government, and the scale of what we believe is the breach of international commitments, will shock and anger the entire international community,” Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain said, standing on the other side of Mr. Obama. “The international community has no choice today but to draw a line in the sand.”

American officials said that they had been tracking the covert project for years, but that Mr. Obama decided to make public the American findings after Iran discovered, in recent weeks, that Western intelligence agencies had breached the secrecy surrounding the project.

There’s no way for Iran to lie themselves out of this one, though of course they’ll try. Slowly but surely, President Obama’s foreign policy approach is paying dividends. By scrapping the missile defense plan in Eastern Europe which among other things, satisfied Russia, he’s weakened one of Iran’s few remaining allies’ ability to defend this rogue nation.

With this latest development combined with Iranians taking to the streets as part of the Green Revolution and Obama’s overture towards the Islamic world, Iran is finding itself further isolated from the world community.

The plot thickens.

    I don’t understand why Ahmadinejad or the Libyan nutcase were allowed to speak at the U.N. Both are Holocaust deniers & both should be leaders of a country as much as Daffy Duck should be ruler of the Universe. Wellll, Daffy is more intelligent, to be fair. Certainly, it’s no shock that their “Supreme Leader” and their fake President had other reasons for nuclear power.

    If there is to be an Armegeddon,the middle east is a plausible place. We better keep track because these religious fundamentalists don’t think like we do and we need to inform the people of Iran as they are in the most danger. Something has to happen from within and without simultaneously and the pressure applied to the iranian administration. If we don’t now,some jihadist will want to send all us infidels to hades and Allah will be pleased to greet him as a martyr.

    Freaky this stuff of nuclear weapons !!!!

    @Jovial- What about the 72 virgins they’re supposed to get in heaven if they stay a disciplined theocracy in the regime. What some men will do for a virgin!:-) When the false Iranian election took place, I felt compelled to send any information back to them that I could get my hands on. I was on Twitter constantly. If anything good has happened from the misery they are going through, it’s that we feel a solidarity toward them that we’ve never felt before. I have 2 Iranian “pen pals.” They’ve sent me pictures of Iran. I always thought it was this horrible place. The beauty of that country has gone unnoticed here in the States. Their passion is awesome & they are still doing nightly rooftop chants & protests to this day. I think they can endure almost anything. They make the teabag protesters look even more imbecilic.
