Axis of Evil Update: Iran
From AP via MLive.com:
A new report by the U.N. atomic agency says Iran has acknowledged importing parts for advanced centrifuges that can be used to enrich uranium.
The confidential report, which was obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday, credits Iran with more openness about its nuclear program but says the agency still has questions about nearly two decades of secret activities.
The report also says Iran has continued production of centrifuge components at three workshops belonging to private companies despite its declaration it would suspend such activities. Iran said the companies continued production because they had not received adequate compensation for the termination of contracts, the report said.
From NewsMax:
Iran is producing its first stealth missile, a rocket that can evade electronic detection, the Iranian Defense Ministry said Tuesday while withholding its range.
The missile, named Kowsar after a river in Muslim descriptions of paradise, will be capable of hitting ships and aircraft, Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammad Reza Imani told The Associated Press.
Matt's Chat
Anybody think Iran is wanting to enrich uranium for energy use? Remember, these folks live in an oil rich country...Why would a country ruled by theocracy of the Religion of Peacetm need a stealth missile?
Mark's Remarks
Well, Matt, don't you know, you always take the word of fundamentalist Islamofascists over the words of the United States, I mean, duh? Didn't you get the memo? We are, like, the oppressors, even though we have never asked for territory from a freed nation except to bury our dead, even though we did not raid treasure from Iraq or Afghanistan, even though we did not take hostages and hold them for 444 days, even though we have not sponsored terror cells and encouraged bloodshed like Nick Berg, or Danny Pearl, etc.?
Wait, that was the liberal memo....my bad....
