Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran To Build Two Additional Bushehr Nuclear Power Plants

Iran on Sunday announced it is launching a tender for offers to build two new nuclear power stations in the southern city of Bushehr, a top nuclear agency official said.
AP: Iran to build 2 nuclear power plants
Iran said Sunday it is seeking bids for the building of two more nuclear power plants, despite international pressures to curb its controversial program.
Ahmad Fayyazbakhsh, the deputy head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization in charge of power plants, said the plants would be light-water reactors, each with the capacity to generate up to 1,600 megawatts of electricity.
Each plant would cost up to $1.7 billion and take up to 11 years to construct, he told reporters during a news conference at his office.
The country has been locked in a bitter funding dispute with Russia, which is building Iran’s first nuclear power plant near the southern city of Bushehr.
Russia delayed the launch of the plant, which had been set for September, and refused to ship uranium fuel for the reactor last month as earlier planned, citing Iran’s payment arrears. Iranian officials denied any payment delays under the $1 billion contract, and accused Russia of caving in to Western pressure.
Iran is already building a 40-megawatt heavy water reactor in Arak, central Iran, based on domestic technology. It is also preparing to build a 360-megawatt nuclear power plant in Darkhovin, in southwestern Iran.
Fayyazbakhsh said the two new plants would be built near Bushehr. He also said he planned to travel to Russia next week to try to ease tensions and get the first Bushehr plant back on track.
Another ploy by the Mullahs to cover their tracks for diverting enriched uranium to their nuclear weapons program. Why announce this now?
Hell, they haven’t paid the Russians for the first Bushehr reactor.
This is nothing but more Western media play by the Iranians. These guys really know how to work the MSM.
And what about United Nations sanctions?
You know, these:

Giuliani Notes: Draft Dodger Rudy? Hardly
Republican presidential hopeful former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani autographs a baseball for Patrick Smith, of Kansas City, Saturday, April 14, 2007, in Des Moines, Iowa.
This is an old but re-planted story by Retired General Wesley Clark’s lefty advocacy group VoteVets.org which is a part of the larger LEFTY Labor supported group, American United for Change.
So, what is the intent of this rehashed story that was used against Rudy when he first ran against David Dinkins for Mayor of New York in 1989.
Why, it is to soften up Rudy in the GOP primaries so that he will not gain the GOP nomination – DUH!
And why is that you ask?
Does Hillary REALLY want to run against Rudy?
NO
She is losing to Rudy in almost every national poll and in the electoral college estimates Rudy wins handily.
The strategy is to have LEFTY Iraqi War Vets, Swift Boat Rudy as a draft dodger – which by the way he is NOT. But, Hillary’s husband, Bill is. And husband Bill is an impeached President who pardoned Marc Rich, who Rudy indicted on criminal federal tax evasion and making illegal oil deals with Iran charges.
Might this be a reason to try to dispose of Rudy early. The Marc Rich story will make some fine television commercials.
The charges against Rudy are bogus and are old. But, this will not stop the LEFT from trying.
Also, answer me this?
What military experience has
Hillary Clinton?
Barack Obama?
John Edwards?
Oh, you answer NONE.
You are correct.
On the side, the last President Flap remembers as having any sort of significant military experience in their background was Jimmy Carter.
And we all know how well he did as President.
Wes Clark, give it a rest.
