New Traces of Weapons-Grade Uranium Found in Iran

As reported here, inspectors from the IAEA have found new traces of highly enriched uranium at a facility linked to the Iranian military. Although they say that the tests are preliminary, and that more tests need to be done, the initial results show that the uranium has been enriched to, and possibly beyond, that needed for a nuclear weapon.

I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it: Iran does not need to develop nuclear facilities to generate electricity, considering their vast oil and natural gas resources! Despite what they claim to the contrary, their ultimate goal in developing nuclear technology is to possess nuclear weapons.

And then we have
this ludicrous statement coming from the head of the IAEA himself, Mohamed ElBaradei, saying "Friday that the world should be more worried about nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists than about Iran's nuclear program.

Mohamed ElBaradei, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said there is no military solution to the standoff with Iran over its determination to continue its uranium enrichment program.


But ElBaradei said the risk terrorists could acquire a nuclear weapon was of greater concern.

"Terrorists are a different thing," he told a Dutch television program. "The fear of terrorists acquiring nuclear weapons is much more, in my view ... than a country acquiring nuclear weapons right now.""

Mr. ElBaradei, just who do you think is the greatest state sponsor of terrorists? Malta, perhaps? NO, you imbecilic idiot! It's IRAN! Don't you think that once the Iranians possess nuclear weapons that they would happily hand off a small nuclear device to one of their cohorts to use in a terrorist attack against, say, the US?

Geez, Louise, get your head out of your ... the sand.
