Iran Hiding Nuke Program
From Yahoo News:Senior Iranian officials are overseeing efforts to conceal key elements of the country's nuclear program from international inspectors, according to Western diplomats and an intelligence report.
If the cover-up is confirmed, it would bolster the U.S. assertion that Iran is trying to hide a secret nuclear weapons program.
Iran set up a committee late last year to coordinate the concealment efforts after international inspectors uncovered evidence that the Islamic Republic had tried to hide aspects of its nuclear program, including secret research on advanced centrifuges that can produce weapons-grade uranium, according to the diplomats.
A diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the committee's most pressing tasks include trying to hide nuclear evidence at nearly 300 locations around the country. The committee is said to be composed mainly of senior officials of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran who report to high-ranking government officials.
Iran has said that it will deny access to some suspect sites by international inspectors, who are scheduled to continue their work today. Iran cited a continuing New Year holiday as justification for barring the inspectors.
Matt's Chat
Twelve years later, 17 UN Security Council resolutions, and 15 more minutes for Hans Blix and the IAEA and we'll have to hope we have a Republican in the White House to clean this one up too.That's right, I said it. I stand by those words.
The John Kerry's and Bill Clinton's will want to negotiate with these monsters. That is not the way to go, in my opinion.
Mark's Remarks
Amen, Matt....if Kerry wins, he will allow Iran to proceed, or maybe they will fill out a little treaty, which will mean nothing. Look at the history of Dim treaties. Carter and the Soviets treaty meant nothing. As we cut our nuke supplies, the Soviets continued to build theirs up. Look at the North Korean treaty, this time with Bill Clinton....AGAIN, MEANINGLESS AND UNEFFECTIVE. If John Kerry becomes president, expect Iran to become a nuclear power soon and use it against us or our interests, and what will John Kerry do about it? Like his French buddies, he will probably surrender or simply run.
Don't make us relive the late 70s again or give more nukes to madmen, reelect the man who brought meaning back to the words of the US: George W. Bush....
Mr. Bush will not let Iran get away with this....the libs and Dims have a history of showing they don't care as long as they can be free to spend our tax dollars on social experiments.
