Iran tells the world it is going to enrich uranium to 20% and the US says we will starve your people and then “bomb the bat snot out of you” (quote attributed to Glenn Beck).
Wayne Madsen speaks to the situation with Dina Gusovsky of RussiaToday.
Madsen:
“You need 90% enriched uranium to create nuclear weapons. So all these complaints from the Western countries about Iran striving for nuclear weapon is just hyping the situation.”
Do I trust Iran’s Leaders?
NO
Am I willing to support killing another 500,000 people in the Middle East because my leaders say “be afraid”?
NO
I like to try and get a little more information on the subject. One source is Juan Cole…
It is a trick of the Washington Establishment to scare apparently easily frightened Americans into a conviction that some small, poor, third world country is a dire threat to the most massively funded and armed military in the world. Repeating falsehoods is one way the Big Lie is implanted, that then allows US belligerence to be unquestioned at home.
News from Iran will be spun by the US press to justify (Secretary) Clinton’s fears. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made headlines Sunday by directing Iran’s (regularly inspected) nuclear research establishment at Natanz near Isfahan to begin attempting to enrich uranium to 19.75% so that that country will eventually have the ability to supply its own fuel for its sole reactor that produces medical isotopes for treating, e.g., cancer. Any uranium enriched to 19.75% and fed through the reactor is transformed into isotopes and then used up.
Note that Iran is openly announcing this decision and is informing the International Atomic Energy Agency of it, in accordance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Nor is it something they’ll be able to accomplish soon.Informed Comment.
Here is an interesting event from Antiwar.com
AP Pulls Iran Nukes Story After Antiwar.com Exposé
Eric Garris, February 09, 2010Associated Press issued a story yesterday (Monday) entitled “Iran moves closer to nuke warhead capacity.” It was full of inaccurate and misleading information implying that Iran had admitted trying to enrich weapons-grade nuclear material. The story appeared on a wide variety of media.
Last night, Antiwar.com news editor Jason Ditz issued a story refuting the AP story.
This morning, Associated Press recalled the story without explanation and replaced it with another, much less inflamatory story written by a different author.
It is important to question the mainstream media and not let them get away with helping the warmongers with their agenda.
