Iran Nuclear Watch: Condoleezza Rice – Refer Iran to United Nations Security Council
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Gianfranco Fini, Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs smile at the conclusion of their joint news conference at the State Department in Washington, Monday, Jan. 23, 2006.
Reuters: Rice says time for talking with Iran is over
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Monday there was strong international consensus against Iran’s nuclear plans and time had run out for talking to Tehran.
With Italy’s foreign minister at her side, Rice said the next step must be to refer Iran to the U.N. Security Council. The United States believes Iran is building a nuclear bomb but Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful, energy purposes.
“The referral absolutely has to be made,” Rice told reporters.
“Iran must know that there is a firm international consensus against the activities that Iran is currently engaged in. We would all like to solve this diplomatically and we are all committed to doing so but Iran must recognize the concerns of the international community and has not done so.”
Iran on Sunday urged the European Union to return to negotiations with Tehran on its nuclear program, saying talks were the only way to defuse its nuclear standoff with the West.Rice said the time for talking was over and European discussions had come to a “dead end” because of Iran’s actions. “I don’t see much room for further discussion in any format,” said Rice.
As if United Nations sanctions would mean or do much to Iran.
The Winds of War continue in the Middle East…….

George Galloway Watch: The Red Leotard
Evening Standard: George Sinks to New Low
First he shocked TV viewers and his colleagues by pretending to be a cat and lapping milk from Rula Lenska’s hand.
Now George Galloway is set to attract further derision after performing a dance routine on Celebrity Big Brother – in a tight-fitting, red leotard.
The Respect MP, already under fire for taking part in the show instead of representing his constituents, ad-libbed a dance routine for his latest stunt.
Is scummy MORON too kind of a word?

Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran Warns West Over UN Nuclear Referral
Iran’s top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani speaks to reporters after meeting with Iraqi Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr in Tehran. Iran said it will carry through its threat to end tough UN nuclear inspections and resume ultra-sensitive uranium enrichment on an industrial scale if hauled before the UN Security Council.
Financial Times: Iran warns against UN referral
Iran’s top nuclear official on Sunday warned Tehran would resume efforts to enrich uranium on an industrial scale if its case was reported to the UN Security Council, further raising the stakes in the crisis over its nuclear programme.
Tehran earlier this month moved to resume nuclear research, including some small-scale enrichment. But Ali Larijani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, which handles the nuclear issue, said in an interview with the Financial Times that a referral to the United Nations
would force Tehran to broaden significantly the scale of such work.“If the case goes to the Security Council, we’re obliged . . . to lift all voluntary measures,†he said, specifying that this included industrial-scale uranium enrichment.
The European Union and US have been pushing to get Iran’s case reported to the UN Security Council since Tehran announced it would restart its nuclear research two weeks ago. The US and European governments consider the move a breach of a 2004 agreement with Iran.
The transcript of the Ali Larijani interview is here.
Iran is looking for an excuse and cover for full-scale enrichment of uranium. It has been reported that they have acquired additional centrifuges.
In the meantine, the Russia negotiations continue along with EU lobbying of IAEA member nations before the IAEA meeting next week.

Canada Election Watch: Michael Moore Bemoans Apparent Conservative Party Success at the Polls
AFP: US filmmaker Michael Moore weighs in on Canada’s election
Controversial American documentary filmmaker Michael Moore bemoaned an apparent right turn by liberal northern neighbor Canada in its upcoming general election.
The quotes:
“Oh, Canada — you’re not really going to elect a Conservative majority on Monday, are you? That’s a joke, right? I know you have a great sense of humor, … but this is no longer funny.”
“First, you have the courage to stand against the war in Iraq — and then you elect a prime minister who’s for it. You declare gay people have equal rights — and then you elect a man who says they don’t.”
“A man running the nation to the south of you is hoping you can lend him a hand by picking Stephen Harper, because he’s a man who shares his world view. Do you want to help George Bush by turning Canada into his latest conquest?”
“Far be it from me, as an American, to suggest what you should do,” he added. “I hope you don’t feel this appeal of mine is too intrusive, but I just couldn’t sit by, as your friend, and say nothing.”
The Canadian people are tired of the corruption and bankrupt left-wing policies that accompany the Liberal Party and Prime Minister Paul Martin.
A Conservative Party victory today will not be a victory for President George Bush but a victory for the Canadian people.

As Tabin points out, the revolution is taking place with thanks to American blogger Ed Morrissey of Captain’s Quarters, who single-handedly helped blow the lid off the Canadian liberals’ culture of corruption.
