Iran's nuclear deadline

[DeathvadeR]

The worsening international crisis over Iran's suspected nuclear bomb programme escalated last night when the UN set Tehran a deadline of 45 days to come clean on its nuclear activities.

Failure to comply by Iran, whose diplomats walked out of a meeting in Vienna yesterday in protest at the deadline, could lead to the imposition of UN sanctions.

Both the US and Britain suspect the Islamic Republic of secretly seeking to build a nuclear weapon, a charge it denies.

1. Bush's policy of preventive war basically forces nations to

get WMD's as quickly as possible. It seems to be the only thing that can prevent a US invasion, and it's the only bargaining chip that has thusfar been acknowledged by the current administration.

2. Here we go again

Soon the Israeli defense perimeter will extend to Islamabad.

3. when are we invading?

will it be with the UN cooperation or will the whistleass tell them they are irrelevant....again?

If whistleass starts with the cod piece swagger (...again...) what will this do his begging for aid with Iraq?

this administration "leads" by fear

4. What about Israel's nukes?

Unlike Iran, Israel is a rogue criminal state engaged in the brutal and murderous occupation of Palestinian lands and people. Who is going to bring this "shitty little country," as French Ambassador Daniel Bernard described it, to account for her WMDs?

The same people making an issue of Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program are the same people that got us in our present mess in Iraq.
