"Iran signals defiance over nuclear talks; Letters decry ‘irrational’ terms set by the West" by George Jahn, Associated Press | August 6, 2010
VIENNA — As Iran and world powers prepare for new nuclear talks, letters from Tehran’s envoys to top international officials suggest little prospect of major progress, with Tehran combative and unlikely to offer any concessions.
So says my agenda-pushing, war-promoting MSM.
Two letters, both written late last month and obtained by the Associated Press, reflect Iran’s apparent determination to continue the nuclear activities that have led to new rounds of UN, EU, and US sanctions over fears that Tehran might be seeking to develop nuclear arms.
You know, like the ones Israel already has.

"Israel gets caught trying to sell a nuclear weapon to South Africa possibly made with weapons-grade uranium Israel stole from the United States. Now it appears that Israel actually did sell a nuclear weapon to North Korea! Three of Israel's German-supplied Dolphin submarines are cruising off the coast of Iran armed with 220 Kiloton nuclear cruise missiles (about 20 times Hiroshima). And Iran, which is building a power station and medical isotopes BUT NO WEAPONS, is the "problem" requiring the sacrifice of more American money and more American lives in service to the nation that just attacked Americans in international waters. Look in a mirror, people; we are the bad guys this time out!" -- Wake the Flock Up
Oh, they tried selling them?
At the same time, world powers preparing to talk to Tehran are unwilling to cede ground on key demands concerning Iran’s uranium enrichment activities, dimming prospects that the new negotiations will ease tensions.
Iran insists it wants to enrich uranium only to make fuel for a planned reactor network and denies accusations that it will use the program to make fissile warhead material.
But international suspicions are strong. Tehran hid its enrichment program until it was revealed from the outside. And it acknowledged constructing a secret nuclear facility to the International Atomic Energy Agency last year only days before its existence was publicly revealed by the United States and Britain.
Is that an ass-backward paragraph or what?
Then its existence was not publicly revealed by the U.S. and Britain, was it?
Since its enrichment program was unmasked eight years ago, Tehran has defied four UN Security Council sanctions meant to pressure it into freezing enrichment. Sporadic negotiations between Iran and all or some of the permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany also have failed to make headway.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran was now running nearly 4,000 uranium-enriching centrifuges and had amassed nearly 2.5 tons of low-enriched uranium that can be used for fuel. That’s also enough for two nuclear bombs, if enriched to weapons-grade levels.
How many does USrael have?
The letters, provided by an official on condition of anonymity because of their confidential nature, address two sets of talks tentatively set to resume this fall....
Translation: a Zionist source passed these along.
A letter addressed to Catherine Ashton, the EU foreign policy chief, slams her offer to resume talks a day after the UN Security Council passed its fourth set of sanctions.
The second letter says that “irrational conditions’’ imposed by the West are blocking fuel swap talks. It was addressed to International Atomic Energy Agency chief Yukiya Amano.
While both letters say Iran is ready to talk, the one to Ashton suggests that Tehran will come to the table only if the other side ends its “hostility,’’ avoids “any kind of pressure or threat,’’ and states its “clear position on the nuclear weapons of the Zionist regime.’’You know it is serious when you see the word Zionist in the obfuscating, Zionist-controlled, agenda-pushing, war-promoting, AmeriKan MSM.

"Iran activates enrichment equipment" by Associated Press | August 10, 2010
VIENNA — Iran has activated equipment to enrich uranium more efficiently in a move that defies the UN Security Council, the International Atomic Energy Agency said yesterday.
So? Israel does it all the time and there are no consequences there.
The Vienna-based nuclear watchdog said Iran has started using a second set of 164 centrifuges linked in a cascade, or string of machines, to enrich uranium to up to 20 percent at its Natanz pilot fuel enrichment plant. Another cascade there has been producing uranium enriched to near 20 percent since February.
If enriched to around 95 percent, uranium can be used in building a nuclear bomb. At 20 percent, it can be turned into weapons-grade material much more quickly.
Translation: They are NOT MAKING a BOMB and NOWHERE NEAR ONE!
Tehran denies it has such aims and says its nuclear activities are for peaceful purposes only. But some in the international community — the United States and its allies — aren’t convinced....
And NEVER WILL BE because it is not about that.

"Israel blasts anti-Semitic Iranian website" by Associated Press | August 6, 2010
JERUSALEM — A new Iranian website that denies and mocks the Holocaust with cartoons showing Jews as hook-nosed worms burrowing holes through a history book provoked outrage in Israel yesterday.
Holocartoons.com features caricatures, including a Jew with a hook nose and a black hat emblazoned with a Star of David tracing fake bodies on the ground at a concentration camp. The website uses Nazi imagery, with the icon for flipping pages marked with a swastika.
“The vulgar and cynical approach of the website, a combination of Holocaust denial and distortion, illustrated with anti-Semitic caricatures, further illustrates Iran’s disregard for reality and truth vis-a-vis the Holocaust, Jews, and Israel,’’ Israel’s Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem said.
It called the site “the latest salvo emanating from Iran that denies the facts of the Holocaust and attempts to influence those who are ignorant of history.’’
I used to be.

No one more than the AmeriKan ejerkashunal system.
********
The views are in line with those of Iran’s clerical regime, which has repeatedly questioned or denied the Nazi genocide of 6 million Jews.
The numbers are revised downward by official sources but somehow the the 6 million sticks -- and don't you dare imply any less!!
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called the Holocaust a “myth,’’ and Iran has also hosted a conference endorsing Holocaust denial.
Ready to go to war yet, America?

"Children with Nazi names kept from parents" by Associated Press | August 6, 2010
TRENTON, N.J. — A family court had earlier determined that there was insufficient evidence that the parents had abused or neglected the children. That decision was stayed until the appeals court could review it. Yesterday, the appeals panel determined there was enough evidence and that the children should not be returned....
The children’s names and the birthday cake were not mentioned in yesterday’s ruling. The court found that there were myriad other reasons that proved the need for continued protection services for the children.
According to court records, both parents are unemployed and both suffer from unspecified physical and psychological disabilities.
And if that ain't good enough we will find something else.

And they will decide the kids' names.
Don't get me wrong, they could have picked way better ones; however, bad taste is no business of the state.
Better get out now, Massachusetts.
"Iran divestment to affect public pensions
Massachusetts will be required to divest public pension money from companies doing business with Iran under a bill Governor Deval Patrick is set to sign. The bill would require the state to divest its pensions from foreign oil and gas firms with active investments of more than $20 million in Iran. Supporters argue that the investments indirectly help foster terrorist activity and that the state’s public pensions should not be going to help bolster Iran’s economy (AP)."
