The 15 Security Council ambassadors met informally outside the U.N. building Tuesday to discuss a draft statement urging Iran to suspend activities that could be aimed at making nuclear weapons.

For the five permanent Council members, it was their fifth such meeting since last Wednesday, when they received the Iran dossier from International Atomic Energy Agency. But for the 10 elected Council members, it was their first peek at the text that has divided the Permanent Five into two camps.

Co-authors Britain and France, along with the United States, are pushing for quick adoption of the text, which would call on IAEA Director Mohamed ElBaradei to report on Iranian compliance with the agency's requirements in as little as 14 days.

U.S. Ambassador John Bolton has repeatedly called for urgent action on Iran. Tuesday he pointed to published reports in which Tehran's former top nuclear negotiator admitted having used recent negotiations with European countries to dupe them while Iran was mastering the conversion of so-called uranium yellowcake -a key stage in the nuclear fuel process.

You know why Bolton was chosen to be UN delegate without Congress approval... this is why.......

1. So ElBaradei will report no evidence that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons

And the US will ask: "Can you prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no intention to start a nuclear weapons program?"

And ElBaradei will respond: "No, of course, that would be impossible to prove."

And the US will say: "See! even ElBaradei says they may have nuke plans."

4. ***PETITION TO SIGN: NO WAR WITH IRAN ***

Hello,

For the past year, the growing tensions mounting between the US, Israel, and Iran are reaching a point where military action against Iran is w/in months of becoming reality. The repercussions are terrifying as such military action could involve countries such as China and Russia as they share massive energy/economic interests w/ Iran. The most likely scenario we would face would be the collapse of the US economy as the combination of a massive rise in oil prices and a run on the US dollar would surely be the weapon many countries would use to fight back against a preemptive US or Israeli strike.

I'm starting up a petition which I will be sending out to as many members of Congress as possible. I'm asking for help to get this signed by as many people, possible in the next month. Send it to as many people you can.
