"Tehran says it’s set to ship uranium for enrichment; Iran, West at odds over time frame, amount to be sent" by Nasser Karimi, Associated Press | February 3, 2010
TEHRAN - Iran said yesterday that it was ready to send its uranium abroad for further enrichment as requested by the United Nations.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced the decision in an interview with state Iranian television.
He said Iran will have no problem giving the West its low-enriched uranium and taking it back several months later when it is enriched by 20 percent.
The decision could signal a major shift in the Iranian position on the issue.
"Ahmadinejad has just pulled the rug out from under any possible justification of the military attack against Iran by the US and Israel which he knows is coming anyway." -- Wake the Flock Up
Still, it was unclear how much of a concession Ahmadinejad’s comments represented....
Leave it to the war-promoting, agenda-pushing, Zionist AmeriKan MSM with all their bullshit!
But....
If....
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTT!!!!
This isn't a report; it's a lying, PoS war promotion.

Yeah, have to get that war propaganda going!
Ahmadinejad also did not address whether his country was ready to ship out most of its stockpile in one batch - another condition set by the six world powers endorsing the fuel swap.
If Iran were to agree to export most of its enriched uranium in one shipment, it would delay its ability to make a nuclear weapon by stripping it of the material it needs to make the fissile core of a warhead.
Even thought they are NOT MAKING a WEAPON, but....!!!!!
Specialists believe it would need at least a year to replenish its stockpile at its present rate of uranium enrichment....
Ahmadinejad dismissed concerns by “colleagues’’ that the West would not return the uranium, saying Iran would respond to that by continuing to produce its own enriched uranium....Gordon Duguid, spokesman for the US State Department, said of the proposal: “There has been some discussion about details, but the deal is the deal, and the Iranians need only to tell the IAEA they are prepared to take it, and we can move forward from there.’’
Translation: TAKE IT or LEAVE IT!
How do YOU respond to ULTIMATUMS like that, America?
Then why would the Iranians be any different?

"To hear Gates make these statements, it's almost as though Ahmedinejad's offer yesterday to send their uranium abroad for enrichment means absolutely nothing" -- Wake the Flock Up
And that is exactly the way today's paper portrays it:
"Rocket carried living organisms, Iran says; Test carried out amid worry over nuclear program" by Alan Cowell, New York Times | February 4, 2010
Figures.
PARIS - Diplomatic officials greeted Ahmadinejad’s remarks with skepticism.
Earlier, officials in Washington said the Obama administration was accelerating the deployment of new defenses against possible Iranian missile attacks in the Persian Gulf, placing special ships off the Iranian coast and antimissile systems in at least four Arab countries....
Translation: WORLD WAR III SOON!!!!
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday ruled out Ahmadinejad’s suggestion that three detained American hikers in Iran be swapped with Iranian citizens held in the United States.

I say SPIES!
Clinton said the hikers, along with other Americans jailed in Iran, should be released immediately on humanitarian grounds. She said there is no basis for their continued detention.
Actually, sorry, but UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE ALL AMERICANS are to be treated as SPIES NOW!!! That's right, her department.
As for the detentions, how many Muslims, etc, floating around in our secret hellholes?
The hypocrisy does not become you, b****.

Senate Burglary: CIA Domestic Black-op Team Arrested
The website Infowars.com says all four men arrested in last week’s break-in at Senator Mary Landrieu’s New Orleans office had been trained by the CIA. One of those arrested, Stan Dai, is listed as an Operations Officer at the Department of Defense Irregular Warfare Program and a lecturer on surveillance, explosives training, assassinations and “false flag operations.” He was picked up in a car parked car blocks away with a covert receiver, managing the office bugs. Infowars says as this was a covert op against US government investigations of terrorism funding and major financial crimes, it is not known who the recipient of the information might be.

CIA moonlights in corporate world
In the midst of two wars and the fight against Al Qaeda, the CIA is offering operatives a chance to peddle their expertise to private companies on the side — a policy that gives financial firms and hedge funds access to the nation’s top-level intelligence talent, POLITICO has learned.
In one case, these active-duty officers moonlighted at a hedge-fund consulting firm that wanted to tap their expertise in “deception detection.” The policy gives agents a chance to earn more while still staying on the government payroll....
The close ties between active-duty and retired CIA officers at one consulting company show the degree to which CIA-style intelligence gathering techniques have been employed by hedge funds and financial institutions in the global economy.
The firm is called Business Intelligence Advisors, and it is based in Boston. BIA was founded and is staffed by a number of retired CIA officers, and it specializes in the arcane field of “deception detection.” BIA’s clients have included Goldman Sachs and the enormous hedge fund SAC Capital Advisors, according to spokesmen for both firms....
But the ties between BIA and the intelligence world run deep. The name itself was chosen as a play off CIA. And the presence of so many former CIA personnel on the payroll at BIA causes confusion as to whether the intelligence firm is actually an extension of the agency itself....
Can you TRUST ANYTHING about your SOCIETY ANYMORE, AmeriKa?

"Iran unfolds its fist to slap us in the face" by William Tobey | February 4, 2010
Neither Russia nor China sees a nuclear armed Iran as a threat.
Yeah, because THEY ARE NOT BUILDING a BOMB, (expletive untyped)!!!
All other things being equal, they might prefer Tehran’s ayatollahs not to control nuclear weapons, but all other things are not equal. Beijing wants access to oil and gas. Moscow wants to rebuild a geostrategic position in the Middle East, sell conventional arms and nuclear reactors to Iran, and foster a regional power capable of standing up to the United States....
Yeah, GOOD THING the U.S. never thinks in such terms, huh?

Where we at, AmeriKa, as it bleeds our treasury dry.
Of course, at root, it is ABOUT REGIME CHANGE!!!
Breaking the ayatollahs’ hold on power may be the only way to reverse an Iranian nuclear weapons program.
Yeah, except THEY AIN'T BUILDING ONE (and who could blame them if they were when you compare the treatment Iraq -- no weapon -- and Kore -- weapon -- got)!!!
And even that is not going to reverse Iran's drive for NUCLEAR POWER.
They ALL WANT THAT, opposition included!
While there is now broad support within Iran for nuclear technology, new leaders seeking cooperation from abroad would likely reconsider pursuing weapons....
??????
Our present course on Iran will surely fail.Nice, prejudging, positive attitude, huh?
Face it, it DOES NOT MATTER WHAT IRANIANS DO, it will NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH for NaZionist USrael!
Iran has unclenched its fist to slap us in the face. It is time to wake up.
You ready for WORLD WAR III, AmeriKa!!!!!????
You going to be FOOLED AGAIN with the Obomber's LIES?!!!!
