IAEA board demands Iran resume nuclear freeze

VIENNA, Aug 11 (Reuters) - The board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) unanimously approved a resolution on Thursday demanding that Iran suspend all nuclear activities it resumed earlier this week, a diplomat said.

The diplomat from a country on the board said the resolution, drafted by France, Britain and Germany, expressed "serious concern" at Iran's resumption on Monday of nuclear work that could be used to make atomic weapons. But it did not call for Iran's case to be referred to the U.N. Security Council, which has the power to impose sanctions.

However, European Union diplomats said that if Tehran fails to comply with the resolution they will push for Iran to be referred to the U.N. council for punitive action in September.

Iran will tell the UN to stick it up its ass.

2. You can bet, by day's end, the Bushies will say "Iran is violating U.N....

...resolutions!"

Despite that their seal of these facilities was voluntary.

Despite that this resolution is powerless.

Despite that there is no way in hell they will ever get a U.N. Security Council Resolution authorizing anything close to the use of force against Iran (nor should they).

They don't care. They'll just say "Iran is in violation...", and the bombing will begin in a few months (oh, wait, based on the Iraq schedule, it's probably already begun).

6. agree -

I'll give these kriminals one thing - they found a script that works (for them) and they're gonna use it!

5. Is this the work of Bolton?

What a champ

[NNN0LHI]

7. But it did not call for Iran's case to be referred...

...to the U.N. Security Council, which has the power to impose sanctions.

I think that indicates this request doesn't mean very much then.

9. Baby steps.

8. The IAEA and NPT should be abolished.

All these things only serve as tools to club developing countries over the head. Every country has the right to engage in peaceful nuclear development. Furthermore, it is foolish for developing countries to trust the few nuclear powers to continue their monopoly on nuclear self-defense capability.

11. Here's another article to scare the hell out of you

Just received this from a friend. I have tons of family in South Carolina......

Four Star General Fired For Organizing Coup Against Neo-Cons?

According to reporter Greg Szymanski, anonymous military sources said that Brynes was the leader of a faction that was preparing to
instigate a coup against the neo-con hawks in an attempt to prevent
further global conflict.
(snip)
They told Lehrman that the imminent Northcom nuclear terror exercise
based in Charleston, S.C, where a nuclear warhead is smuggled off a
ship and detonated, was originally intended to 'go live' - as in the
drill would be used as the cover for a real false flag staged attack.
(snip)
Earlier this week, Washington Post reported that the Pentagon has
developed its first ever war plans for operations within the
continental United States, in which terrorist attacks would be used as the justification for imposing martial law on cities, regions or the entire country.

American Conservative Magazine recently reported that Dick Cheney had given orders to immediately invade Iran after the next terror attack in the US, even if there was no evidence Iran was involved.

Government and media mouthpieces have been fearmongering for weeks
about how a nuclear attack within the US is imminent.

Now would be the most opportune time for the Globalists to stage a
major attack, as it would head off any potential indictments against
the Bush administration for their involvement in illegally outing CIA agent Valerie Plame.

While rumors circulating about indictments having already taken place against Bush and Cheney should rightly be treated very carefully, the fact that there is an ongoing criminal investigation into the matter is something that's admitted and shouldn't be viewed as speculation.

12. Scary on the surface but I learned to take that site with a grain of salt

Still...Szymanski has been right a few times recently.
