U.N. nuke inspectors visiting Iran

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Five U.N. nuclear weapons inspectors arrived in Iran to visit uranium enrichment and reprocessing plants for the first time since Tehran announced in mid-February that it was suspending surprise inspections and removing agency cameras from some nuclear facilities, state-run television reported Saturday.

Iran's deputy nuclear chief, Mohammed Saeedi, said the inspectors would begin their work at the Isfahan Uranium Conversion Facility in central Iran on Sunday, followed by a visit to the Natanz uranium enrichment plant.

Iranian officials hope the inspections of the two major facilities will prove the country's nuclear pursuits are peaceful in nature and not intended for developing weapons, as the U.S. claims. Tehran says its nuclear program is merely for generating electricity.

"The presence of the inspectors in Iran suggests that Iran wants to cooperate with the agency (IAEA) as before," one state-run radio broadcaster said Saturday.

1. I'm precognitive. Here's what will happen:

They will find nothing related to nuclear weapons manufacture, probably not even research.


Bush will say "That's because they're hiding them. You have three days to produce the weapons or we invade!"

Iran will say, "Dude, we don't HAVE any weapons. We can't produce them in three days!"

the UN will say, "Yeah, dude, we looked. No weapons. Not even the cellophane a weapon comes in. Seriously."

Bush will say: "THAT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE HIDING THEM! ATTACK!"

And then we will attack.

Ok, I'm not precognitive. (necessarily, lol)

I've just got a pretty good grasp of this pony's one fucking trick.

EDIT: The sequel

(smoking rubble, people in radiation suits, shrugging, muffled speaker-hiss over the dialog)

SUITS: "We looked, Mr. President. We've found no weapons and no traces of attempts to produce them."

UN: "WE FUCKING TOLD YOU, you MORON!"

BUSH: "....that's because they hid them in Syria! Syria, you have three days to produce the weapons, or we attack!"

SYRIA: "Oh, for fuck's sake."

2. the SAME 'prove something DOESN'T exist' game ?

3. Pretty much. He's picked up that trick from the Reich Wing, maybe? nt

4. but this time, with our massive bunker-busters and nukes, we'll destroy

any evidence that will prove they weren't working on nukes of their own. that's why all the talk of us using nukes... it will contaminate all sites with nuke material, and destroy so much that forensics will be impossible and impractical. and we'll just say they were developing nukes and we knew it.

5. That's a good point.....

here I am talking about the puddle of glass myself, not realizing that's all there would be.

Sheesh. :argh:
