Iran said to assemble two uranium units

IENNA, Austria - Shrugging off the threat of tougher U.N. sanctions,
Iran has set up more than 300 centrifuges in two uranium enrichment units at its underground Natanz complex, diplomats and officials said Monday.

The move potentially opens the way for larger scale enrichment that could be used to create nuclear warheads. Iranian leaders have repeatedly said the Natanz underground hall would house first 3,000 centrifuges and ultimately 54,000 machines.

It also poses a direct challenge to the Security Council, which late last month imposed limited sanctions targeting programs and individuals linked to Tehran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs — and warned of stricter penalties within 60 days unless Iran freezes enrichment.

Speaking separately — and demanding anonymity because their information was confidential — a diplomat accredited to the Vienna-based
International Atomic Energy Agency and a U.S. official said that two "cascades" of 164 centrifuges each had been set up in recent days.

1. Bullshit. We're being baited.

They watched us go into Iraq based on Saddam's bluffs, and they are doing the EXACT SAME SHIT, because they want us to attack because it will destroy NOTHING BUT OURSELVES.

We are being played by Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Afghanistan because Bushco is so predictably self-destructive. We are being lured to our death with the promise of easy, meaningless 'victories'. They are telling the world EXACTLY what Bushco wants to hear to justify his version of the world, because they know if we attack them, America is more fucked than we are now by a factor of ten or more.

Sadly, the Democratic Congress is whistling past the graveyard, once again. With an opposition party like this, who needs one party rule?
