Are we done believeing this moron's lies? I hope the world will wake up, we as the US already used our trump card to pre-emp on Iraq.

God bless him for giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, but believing Iran now is just borderline nieve.

AP Full story:
International Atomic Energy experts have found unexplained plutonium and enriched uranium traces in a nuclear waste facility in Iran and have asked Tehran for an explanation, an IAEA report said Tuesday. The report prepared for next week's meeting of the 35-nation IAEA also faulted Tehran for not cooperating with the agency's attempts to investigate suspicious aspects of Iran's nuclear program that have lead to fears it might be interested in developing nuclear arms. As well, the four-page paper made available to The Associated Press confirmed that Iran continues uranium enrichment experiments in defiance of the U.N. Security Council.
Earlier Tuesday, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that Iran would soon celebrate completion of its nuclear fuel program and claimed the international community was ready to accept it as a nuclear state.
Iran has been locked in a standoff with the West over its nuclear program. The United States and its European allies have been seeking a U.N. Security Council resolution imposing sanctions on Tehran for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment.
"Initially, they (the U.S. and its allies) were very angry. The reason was clear: They basically wanted to monopolize nuclear power in order to rule the world and impose their will on nations," Ahmadinejad told a news conference.
"Today, they have finally agreed to live with a nuclear Iran, with an Iran possessing the whole nuclear fuel cycle," he said. He did not elaborate.
President Bush said Monday there was no change in his position that Iran must first suspend uranium enrichment before there can be any dialogue with Tehran.
"Our focus of this administration is to convince the Iranians to give up its nuclear weapons ambitions. That focus is based on our strong desire for there to be peace in the Middle East. And an Iran with a nuclear weapon would be a destabilizing influence," Bush said Monday.
The Iranian leader said he hoped "to hold the big celebration of Iran's full nuclearization in the current year." Iran's current calendar year ends on March 20.
Though Ahmadinejad did not specify, he appeared to indicate that Iran was on the verge of proficiency in the whole cycle of nuclear fuel _ from extracting uranium ore to enriching it and producing nuclear fuel.
Russia, which is backed by China, opposes tough action advocated by the U.S., Britain and France, and its amendments to a Western draft resolution would reduce sanctions and delete language that would cut off Iran's access to foreign missile technology.
The U.S. and some of its allies allege that Iran is developing nuclear weapons and are suspicious of its intentions after Tehran concealed parts of its nuclear development from U.N. inspectors for many years.
Iran claims its program is peaceful and for generating electricity.
Uranium enrichment at low levels can be used to produce fuel to generate electricity but at higher levels can be use to make atomic bombs.
Iran has said it will never give up its right under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty to enrich uranium and produce nuclear fuel. Officials have said they plan to generate 20,000 megawatts of electricity through nuclear energy in the next two decades.
Since revelations more than three years ago of a covert uranium enrichment program, Iran has moved to develop its capabilities, activating two small experimental enrichment plants and enriching small amounts of uranium to nuclear fuel level. Although that is far short of the weapons grade uranium that could be used for nuclear warheads, international concerns about Tehran's ultimate intentions led the Security Council to set an Aug. 31 deadline for an enrichment moratorium _ which Tehran has ignored. Officials have said they plan to have 3,000 centrifuges operating by next year _ enough to make enough material for several nuclear weapons a year.
Suspicions also are focused on Tehran's construction of a heavy water reactor that _ when completed in the next decade _ will produce plutonium waste, another pathway to nuclear weapons.
The International Atomic Energy Agency declined comment on the Iranian president's remarks.
The Bush administration, frustrated by U.N. Security Council inaction on sanctions against Iran, is pressing a new agenda _ trying to deny Tehran U.N. aid for a plutonium-producing reactor that could be used to make nuclear warheads.
Diplomats from nations on the IAEA board say the U.S. is lobbying for denial of Iran's request for help on its Arak research reactor, where Iran says it wants to produce radio isotopes for diagnosing and treating cancer.
Seven diplomats, who demanded anonymity in exchange for discussing confidential information, told The Associated Press separately Tuesday that they believed that the 35 member nations of the Vienna-based U.N. nuclear watchdog would deny Iran's request when the IAEA meets next week.
But even a total denial of technical aid for Arak, while symbolically important, is expected to do little to slow the eventual completion of the reactor, let alone Iran's nuclear program. When finished _ probably early in the next decade _ Arak could produce enough plutonium for about two bombs a year.

It must have been planted there by agents of Israel or the US. They probably already have a bomb, or are only a few weeks away from it...intelligence again has failed and this time the consequences do have a grave worldwide impact. I hope the liberals are happy now...of course there is still not enough "proof"...only when they explode the fvcking thing will the idiots be convinced of Irans possession of nuke weapons.....

You might be right Teabagger, but I just hope that one day we won't have to see that racist,APARTHIED, flag of Israel that you prowdly display. Do you even know the ramifications of that racist flag you fly? Do you know how many innocent peoples houses got bulldozed over by that flag?? Do you know that some American kids got mauled by that flag?? Who care's Teabagger? You can rot in hell as far as we are concerned Teabagger. We will always know.

LMAO!
You are new here eh, if you knew TEA' you would know that he display that flag as an ironic way, not even supporting the display of it. Go back and check all his thread, you will see a bit more about the man! Most of his posts now are ironic metaphors with deep sarcasms

Sorry, I'm German, so I have to here about how shitty we were to the Jews... Every day. It gets old. But when I see the Jews treating Pali's like they're ****ing crap, and deserve recon. I start to wonder where all the money we pay the Jews for holocaust reparations goes to, because God knows they don't treat the Palis or the Pakis like the Jews would have wanted to be treated by the German's. It is called,"APARTHIED", remember how wrong it was for whites to not want to live around blacks in S.Afrika How is this any different??

Well I have always said that I am just waiting for solid proof. This does indeed seem like solid proof.
Not much meat in the article though about the plutonium.
Biggest question, how the **** did they produce plutonium. Officialy the only reactor they have running is a research reactor and the waste from that one is closely monitored. So they have either produced it somehow in secret or even worse bought it.

D.3. Plutonium Experiments
15. The Agency has continued to seek clarification from Iran about its plutonium separation
experiments (GOV/2006/38, paras 8–9). Since the Director General’s last report, the Agency has been
able to evaluate the explanations provided by Iran in June and examine the copy of the notebook kept
by the researcher responsible for the plutonium experiments, and has concluded that they did not
provide sufficient clarification of the outstanding issues. In an effort to acquire further information
about the irradiation parameters, the Agency also met, on 11 July 2006, with a reactor operator and the
researcher, who also did not provide the data necessary to clarify the issues. Iran has stated that no
other relevant information is available.
16. In a letter dated 10 August 2006, the Agency informed Iran that, given the information received
from Iran to date, the Agency would not be able to resolve the outstanding inconsistencies unless
additional information were made available by Iran.
17. The depleted uranium targets which had been irradiated in the course of the plutonium
experiments are stored in containers located at the Karaj Waste Storage Facility (GOV/2005/67, para.
24). On 8 August 2005, the Agency took environmental samples from one of those containers. The
results from their analysis, recently finalized by the Agency, indicate the presence of high enriched
uranium particles. On 15 August 2006, Iran was requested to provide information about the source of
the contamination and the past use of the containers.

You're a funny man. Hate to disappoint you Adolf but this flag will wave long and proud long after you have departed this earth. You can spew your hateful, racist, anti-semetic BS all you like...but understand this...while most of the world does not like Jews...they dislike the terrorists, such as Hamas, Hezbollah, PLO, etc..more. Have a Happy Hanakuh.
