Putin says Iran is not building a nuclear weapon
2007-10-10

MOSCOW (Rooters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a news briefing with French leader Nicolas Sarkozy on Wednesday that he has not seen any real evidence that Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon.

"We do not have data that says Iran is trying to produce nuclear weapons. We do not have such objective data," Putin said. "Therefore we proceed from a position that Iran has no such plans but we share the concern of our partners that all programs should be as transparent as possible."

#10  There were numerous Net articles and news reports = indicias to the contrary, including from the Russians themselves. MOST RECENT > AMERICAN THINKER > IRAN PLANS TO CKECKMATE THE USA/AMERICA > reminds us that Radical Iran is CONSTITUTIONALLY obligated to work for and impose a Global Muslim-Islamist [Shia?]State, to include challenging the world's non-Muslim/Shia nuclear powers which by all accounts can be accomplished by Iran possessing nuclear weapons at a "sufficient", IFF NOT SUPERIOR, Level of parity agz other world-nuke powers. IOW, and even the Russians agree, IRAN NEEDS NUKE WEAPONS TO ACHIEVE ITS OWN MANDATED CONSTITUTIONAL = ISLAMIST AGENDA, LEST IT VIOLATE ITS OWN CONSTIT AND SUFFICE TO STAY A COMPARATIVE LESSOR/MINOR POWER.

#8  In the long run America can leave the middle east and produce its own energy. Can Putin move Russia?

#7  Putin must think it is in his and Russia's best interest for America to be weakened by a nuclear armed Iran. Wonder what he'll think when the wind starts blowing the fallout over Russia?
