U.N. report describes expansive nuclear facility


By Con Coughlin
LONDON SUNDAY TELEGRAPHLONDON — An underground Iranian uranium-enrichment facility holds about 1,000 gas centrifuges and can accommodate more than 1,000 people, says a 10-page report to be delivered in Vienna, Austria, today by Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the U.N. nuclear monitoring agency.
    U.S. officials will use the special meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to press for urgent action to prevent Iran from acquiring an atom bomb as fears mount that Tehran is on course to develop a nuclear-weapons capability within two years.

It seems that we are going there next.

1. I can't see an assault

ala Iraq taking place there. Perhaps some nice surgical air strikes, or more likely a half dozen cruise missiles lobbed into the facility.

3. Do you believe the US has the right to prevent

other nations from having nukes while maintaining it's own stockpile?

When the US gives up it's WMD it will have the moral authority to suggest that others do the same, until then , we (the US government) need to just shut the fuck up.

2. Remember the 5 story underground bunkers in Afghanistan??

We were shown mockups of them on the news.. They were made out to be a "Dr. No-like" facility.. same thing with Iraq.. They were supposed to have these elaborate underground facilities all over the place.. None have been found.. It's probably just more bogeyman scenario stuff..

They hired fiction and screenplay writers to help them "develop" possible plans.. My guess would be that the writers have spun a yarn..:eyes:

4. This is not from US Gov't

if true, it is from El Baradei. That's quite different.
