#2 I know, when I started reading this, which was just posted when I caught it, I said ,,yo..wooo, brother, what do we have here?!

I believe, but not positive, this is a London Daily Telegraph exclusive, thus, other media outfits should be picking up this news over the next 24 hours and possibly expanding upon these intriguing details involving the North Korea aspects.

Historical the Telegraph has been a press leader in breaking a number of explosive headline news stories, and this may be another in the making.

The way Iran has been acting as of late, like a rabid dog on a real hot & humid day, a news item such as this one only focuses more attention on the leader of the Axis of Evil. The mullahs have to be wondering 'how long do we have?' :)

#3 A re-hash rant. Is Iran making a play against Israel and SA sunni. It has been stated, grapevine, that Iran will nuke the dome of the crock, sacrificing the paleos to allan, depose the keepers of the cheese, and attempt to bring the dragon unto themselves.

But what I'm currious about is the nuking of Jerusalem, the sacrificing of paleos, that would put Judaism at an end. Vs an attack upon Mebka and Meriena that would, perhaps, set free a bunch of fed up, brain tired, politically backward...

That the mistics who spake(spoke, speak) for the greater god allan, they will have the world order of mu-slave under threat of death, with peace for sure, and all.

#4 Yea, I believe what's interesting is the new sanitizer their using, Jerk-Nukeoff, authorized by the IAEA no doubt.

#5 The accident allegedly caused Teheran's new Â£260 million international airport to be sealed off by Revolutionary Guard commanders within hours of its official opening on May 9.

The Skating Rink is glow-in-the-dark too!

#6 Their attitude changed, however, after inspectors working for the United Nations-backed International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) uncovered evidence in June 2003 that Iran had secretly enriched uranium to weapons grade at the Kalaye electric centrifuge plant, on the outskirts of Teheran. Iran had previously denied having the necessary technology.

The Kalaye revelations embarrassed Revolutionary Guards' commanders, who are responsible for protecting Iran's secret nuclear facilities. The findings prompted the IAEA to intensify pressure on Teheran for a full disclosure on the extent of Iran's nuclear programme, which Iranian officials continue to insist is being developed for purely peaceful purposes.

#7 Intensify pressure......now we're really really upset, guys. Here's a 30-page document, did I here you cry, "Uncle" yet?

#8 "During the delivery, a container slipped and cracked on the Tarmac."

Jeeze. You'd think they would at least put that nasty stuff in something a bit stronger. What happened to all that high-tech rock the Norks were developing? Or did they use a traditional, biodegradable grass rattan?

#9 The airport will remain closed until Russian nuclear experts can examine the site of the spill and make sure that no traces of the illegal shipment remain.

This doesn't make much sense. A decon job does not take that long. Any damn fool with a radiac can tell you if there is radioactive contamination. If you can operate a full set of radiacs (neutron detector, gammma/beta detector, alpha detector which I assume they can - they're smart enough to build car bombs, then they're smart enough to run a meter), you are already on your way to being an expert at decontamination. If it is an airport, they probably spilled on concrete. If the contamination is embedded, rip-up the concrete and bury it somewhere. Survey again. Lay down new concrete. Spill oil on top. Good to go. The spill is too radiactive to approach? No problem. These guys are ruthless, they'll do a Russian-style cleanup. They'll grab the population from one town, let them do the above rip-up/clean-up, then bury the peasants with the concrete. "Now arriving at gate 34, Monsieur Jacques." "Ahh, c'est magnifique!"

#10 Duh. Read more carefully. Throw out my previous comment. They did decontaminate. There must be better detection tools available to the IAEA than simple radiacs. Perhaps they discovered the Kalaye centrifuge Uranium via portable mass spectrometers like our soldiers are using instead of via radiacs. The Iranians maybe don't have these tools.

#11 hmmm could we get those in the carryon luggage :-)

#12 Actually these guys have done a pretty good job of maskirova to date by feigning (not to hard for them) incompetence and graft as the reason for delaying opening of this airport.
