Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran Currently Installing 3,000 Uranium Enrichment Centrifuges
Readers: Please Vote in Flap’s January 2008 GOP Presidential Poll
****Update 21:35 PST AP is reporting that Iran Nuclear Agency is denying the installation of new centrifuges****
An Iranian nuclear agency official has denied claims made by a top lawmaker that the Islamic Republic had begun installing 3,000 centrifuges at an uranium enrichment plant,
Iran’s state-run news agency reported late Saturday.Hossein Simorgh, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization public relations department, said “no new centrifuges have been installed in Natanz,” referring to the nuclear facility in central Iran, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
Earlier Saturday, lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi said Iran was currently installing the 3,000 centrifuges, underlining that the country would continue to develop its disputed nuclear program despite U.N. sanctions.
OOOPSSSS does Iran have their own Baghdad Bob here?
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaks to journalists in Tehran, 21 January 2007. The United States warned Iran of “universal” opposition if it proceeds with plans to beef up its nuclear capacity by installing at least 3,000 centrifuges at a key atomic plant.
AP: Defiant Iran says nuke program continues
Iran is currently installing 3,000 centrifuges, a top lawmaker said Saturday in an announcement underlining that the country will continue to develop its nuclear program despite U.N. sanctions.
The lawmaker, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, said the installation under way at an Iranian uranium enrichment plant “stabilizes Iran’s capability in the field of nuclear technology,” the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
Three inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency who arrived in Iran on Saturday are scheduled to visit the uranium enrichment plant in Natanz, Iranian state television reported.
Iran again POKES the United Nations Security council in the eye as a direct affront to United Nations Resolution 1737.
Does Iran think the United States and Israel will sit idly by?
Apparently……Paper Tigers……
Iranian officials had said in recent weeks that the country was moving toward large-scale enrichment involving 3,000 centrifuges, which spin uranium gas into enriched material.
The comments from Boroujerdi, the head of the Iranian Parliament’s Foreign Policy and National Security Committee, came a day after IAEA head Mohamed ElBaradei said he believed Iran planned to begin work in February on a uranium enrichment facility underground. The subterranean facility is intended to protect the nuclear project from attack.
There had been speculation the leadership might launch the project at Natanz next month to celebrate the 28th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution that brought the clerical leadership to power.
And the United States reaction:
A senior State Department official warned Iran against accelerating its atomic program. “If Iran takes this step, it is going to confront universal international opposition,” Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns said on Friday. “If they think they can get away with 3,000 centrifuges without another Security Council resolution and additional international pressure, then they are very badly mistaken.”
The “NUCLEAR POINT OF NO RETURN” is now.
The question is not whether the United States and/or Israel will launch a military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities, but when.
Stay tuned……

Rudy Giuliani Watch: Who Has the Vision and Who Can Perform?
Former New York City Mayor and possible Presidential candidate Rudolph Giuliani (L) and his wife Judith Nathan (C) greet delegates and guests at the New Hampshire Republican convention in Manchester, New Hampshire January 27, 2007.
AP: Giuliani stresses vision and performance
Rudy Giuliani, courting the Republican rank and file in an important state, sought Saturday to make the case that his vision for the future and performance in the past makes him a strong candidate for the GOP presidential nomination.
The government’s got to work in order for the American people to have confidence in it,” the former New York City mayor said. “And I believe there is something I can do about that.”
“Leadership is about vision and performance,” Giuliani told state GOP activists. Voters, he said, should hold each candidate to that standard when deciding where to throw their support. “Who has the vision and who can perform? Because you need both.””
Mayor Giuliani has BOTH.
Prior to the GOP Convention speech, Giuliani had breakfast with New Hampshire voters.
Yet, political pundits in DC continue to wonder if Giuliani will seek the Presidency.
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani smiles as he signs a copy of his book at the state’s annual Republican meeting in Manchester, N.H., Saturday, Jan. 27, 2007. Giuliani, a possible 2008 presidential hopeful was guest speaker at the state’s annual Republican meeting.

So, why do political folks think a person will hire campaign staff, do the advance preparation work and travel around the country stumping for President not run?
A mystery to Flap
Of course, there are technical fund raising issues why the Mayor does not officially announce – and a candidate wants to time his announcement to create the maximum BUZZ.
DUH…….
And the New Hampshire voter reaction?
The state’s Republican faithful greeted Giuliani warmly. They swarmed him to say hello and shake his hand. Some chanted “Rudy. Rudy.” They shoved copies of his best-selling book, “Leadership,” in front of him for an autograph.
“I was very impressed. He did very well,” said Will Infantine of Manchester, a GOP committee member who is not aligned with a candidate.
“His performance was absolutely outstanding,” added David Hess, the deputy Republican leader of the New Hampshire House who also is unaffiliated.
“He’s very charismatic,” agreed Natalie Healy of Exeter, another committee member. State Rep. Mary Griffin of Windham called him “exceptional.”
Update:
Giuliani: Judge candidates on performance
The Quotes:
“Who has the vision and who can perform? Because you need both,†Giuliani said. “You can ultimately judge whatever I promise you and whatever vision that I have by the things that I’ve done,†Giuliani said.
“I know the heartbreak of seeing casualties. I saw them upfront in the first major battle in this war on terrorism,†Giuliani said. “We have to remain on offense. They want to come here and hurt us and harm us and hurt our children. The best way we remain safe and we retain our freedom … is remaining on offense, remaining strong and not becoming weak in a time of pressure.â€
“We have to be victorious in the war on terror,†he said to loud applause. “Whether all of us at every moment recognize we’re at war, it doesn’t matter. They’re at war with us and they have been for quite some time,†Giuliani said.

John Kerry Watch: United States Has Become an International Pariah
Senator from Massachusetts, USA, John Kerry, seen on the large screen, speaks during a session ‘The Future of the Middle East’ at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Saturday Jan. 27, 2007.
AP: Sen. Kerry Blasts U.S. Foreign Policy
Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry slammed the foreign policy of the Bush administration on Friday, saying it has caused the United States to become “a sort of international pariah.”
The statement came as the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee responded to a question about whether the U.S. government had failed to adequately engage Iran’s government before the election of hard-liner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2005.
Kerry said the Bush administration has failed to adequately address a number of foreign policy issues.
“When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don’t advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy,” Kerry said.
“So we have a crisis of confidence in the Middle East – in the world, really. I’ve never seen our country as isolated, as much as a sort of international pariah for a number of reasons as it is today.”
The age-old dictum that United States politicians while on foreign soil do not criticize the President or United States government has been violated frequently lately. But, this comment by Senator John Kerry today is about as MORONIC of a statement from an american politico that Flap has ever heard.
Glenn Reynolds: “JOHN KERRY does it again. Like Jimmy Carter, he’ll never forgive America for rejecting him, and he’ll console himself with the approval of America’s enemies.”
However, Flap think it is deeper and goes back further than the 2004 Presidential election. John Kerry has hated America that he cannot control since the Vietnam War. John Kerry has definite CONTROL issues and if he does NOT get his way then he throws a tantrum. Witness today.
Senator from Massachusetts, USA, John Kerry gestures while speaking during a session ‘The Future of the Middle East’ at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Saturday Jan. 27, 2007. Kerry criticized the Bush administration’s foreign policy during the session, saying it has caused the United States to become ‘a sort of international pariah.’
And what do America’s enemies think?
My gosh, if you have a disagreement with American policy just foster some dissent because some AMERICAN MORON or POLITICIAN will undermine their own country.
Does anyone think that Senator “BOTCHED JOKE” Kerry will be re-elected in Massachuseltts in 2008?
Leaning Republican PICK -UP.
Stay tuned…….

Rudy Giuliani Watch: Scouting New Hampshire at Littleton Chamber of Commerce
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani speaks to reporters at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, N.H., Friday, Jan. 26, 2007. Giuliani started a two-day campaign swing speaking on the North Country to the Littleton Area Chamber of Commerce dinner.
Union Leader: Giuliani addresses Littleton Chamber
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani last night told a sell-out crowd at the Mount Washington Hotel that he’d like to come back to New Hampshire this summer to play a little golf and “maybe do some politics, too.”
Giuliani, who is exploring a run for President, was the guest speaker at the 85th annual meeting of the Littleton Area Chamber of Commerce with a sell-out crowd of more than 425 people.
In a question-and-answer session with the audience following a speech in which he talked about leadership, the first question was whether his name would be on the Presidential ballot next year, to the cheers and applause of the crowd.
“That may turn out to be more up to you than to me,” he said, “I’m in the right state, which is New Hampshire.” He said he had to “make a decision about my exploratory committee” and “ultimately, the more important decision is the one you make about a year from now.”
Here is an interview with the Mayor and his wife prior to addressing the Littleton Chamber of Commerce:
The Caledonian-Record: Mayor Giuliani Wows Crowd At Chamber Dinner
America Is Strong And Relies On Teamwork, He SaysAs Giuliani and his wife and entourage arrived at the hotel, reporters from the national and local press corps clustered around him with cameras and microphones, making it hard to get close.
But one group was even more determined to approach the former mayor who became Time Magazine’s Person of the Year in 2001 for his leadership in getting the city through the crisis of the terrorist attack on September 11 of that year.
That group wore green vests covered with badges, and they had clipboards and a serious agenda: cookie sales.
By the time the troop of about 10 Girl Scouts from Littleton was done with Giuliani and his wife, they had sold the couple 20 boxes of Girl Scout cookies at $3.50 a box, which came to $70, and they even got an extra $10 donation.
Monica Carroll, 10, a student at Littleton’s Lakeway Elementary School, waved four $20 bills in her hand, beaming. “He gave me $80!” she shouted.
Asked how the cookies would reach the former mayor, Carroll pointed to the address on her clipboard. Assistant troop leader Bobbi Lyndes said they would mail the cookies with the postage on Troop 837.
“I really hope you win the election and become president,” said Jalen Northrop, 12, of Littleton, with tears in her eyes.
Rudy Giuliani laughs with Girl Scouts from Littleton, N.H., Troop 837 at the annual Littleton Area Chamber of Commerce dinner at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, N.H., Friday night.
Giuliani wowed the crowd in the Grand Ballroom with his message of leadership. He said the fact the Littleton Area Chamber of Commerce refers to this part of the state as “New Hampshire’s Heaven,” was appropriate given the landscape he and his wife have fallen in love with. “I always wanted to go to heaven,” he said, drawing a laugh from the North Country crowd.
Giuliani said he may be abandoned for a few weeks, as his wife is threatening to stay here and ski.
Right after arriving at the hotel, Giuliani was asked by Jan Mercieri, the wife of Littleton Fire Chief Joe Mercieri, to sign a New York Times photo book about September 11. Her husband was unable to be at the event, but he had volunteered at Ground Zero, and she said having Giuliani’s signature would mean the world to him.
“Mr. Giuliani holds a very special place in our hearts,” she said.
Mayor Giuliani has come to New Hampshire to gauge support for a presidential candidacy. There are many who are questioning whether Hizzoner will run or not.
There looks like support to Flap
Flap supposes it is Hillary’s media machine instilling some “WISHFUL THINKING” – that Giuliani won’t enter the race.
Sorry Hillary – have your big rally in Iowa. But, the people know – ALL SHOW and NO SUBSTANCE.
Stay tuned…….
