#1 The U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said in a report Iran was still stonewalling investigations aimed at determining whether its plans are peaceful.

Wow. Pins 'n needles.

#3 It plans to install 3,000 centrifuges by March and Ahmadinejad told a news conference on Tuesday Iran's ambition was to have 60,000 centrifuges.

#4 Oh My Gawd!!!!!

It's all been clear enough for, oh, 'bout 3 years. Whatever they wanna anounce today, tomorrow, whenever, isn't a big deal. It's just another of the a gafrickinzillion data points - all on the same line - the one we knew about 3 years ago.

Nothing has changed. They feed their nationalist / Shia fervor with glorious martyr / power pronouncements and we tick off the data point.

#6 I'm sorry, CC7867 - I should've said that in a comisserating fashion. Unnecessarily harsh - and I apologize for being a dick. Yesterday's endless ankle-biting BS drained my patience reservoir. Not fair to snip at you. You're right - he's flaunting it. And I assert that it doesn't change the equation - we know where this ends.

Peace, bro. I'm outta here.

#8 I'm sure the Iranian nuclear program is exactly what they say it is. It's for domestic power production and is no threat to Israel. This will reduce thier dependance on domestic oil, and lower global demand, making oil cheaper for the rest of us. They're doing us a favor. Really.
(If you beleive that, I have a quarter to put under your pillow. All you have to do is send me a tooth.)
Anyway, all this B.S. about it being for power production has gotten me thinking about the long forgotten option of nuclear power production here in the U.S.
I swear, if Iran ends up with better nuclear power facilties than we have here, I am going to go absolutely batshit crazy.

#11 Looks more like a schnoodle to me and a far better metaphor for the IAEA as well; The end product of allowing congress between individuals who never should have met in the first place.

Oh my. If they keep stonewalling, we'll never know!

#14 "60,OOO centrifuges" > also reported on RIANovosti/RIAN.RU kurtsey of GLOBALSECURITY.ORG.
Several Netters, includ myself, believe that the "final step" is MOUD-speak for Iran having enuff nuklar materials for both domestic energy + quick militarized production of nuklar devices/warheads. ENERGY NOW, BOMBS/WARHEADS AFTER 2008 + NEW DEM POTUS IN WASHINGTON.
