Iran steps up uranium enrichment
By Anna Fifield and Najmeh Bozorgmehr in Tehran and Daniel Dombey in Washington

Published: April 8 2008 13:07 | Last updated: April 8 2008 18:16

Iran has started installing an additional 6,000 uranium enrichment centrifuges at its main nuclear facility, President Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad declared on Tuesday, in a move likely to heighten western fears about Tehran’s nuclear intentions.

The extra equipment would enable Iran to triple its current capacity to enrich uranium to produce nuclear fuel or weapons grade material.


So Iran could sit back and shut up and play the victim in the event that our crazy cowboy starts lobbing 'tactical nukes' into 'suspected nuclear weapons plants'....
OR
They can do stupid little things like this that will give Dick and George the ammo they need to start a war in the waning months of a failed presidency.

Attn: Iran. Dont you know that our people over here are batshit crazy and have a serious war chubby with the idea of starting a nuclear war. Dumbasses

1. One thing going in Iran's favor:
They aren't being "secretive" about it.

3. They have every right by all existing treaties and laws to do what they are doing

The Atomic energy commission has checked them time and time again and can find no fault in what they are doing. They are completely open and above board and the Russians are right there with them helping them get it all established. It is the Bush* Administration that is spreading fear and paranoia around based on nothing but conjecture. They were very wrong about Iraq and I see no evidence they are any more accurate about Iran..
