Cindy Sheehan Watch: Don’t Attack Iran
Susan Sarandon (R) introduces Cindy Sheehan at the ‘Bring Em Home Now!’ concert in New York, March 20, 2006.
WorldNetDaily: Cindy Sheehan: Don’t attack Iran
Activist finds no justification for military response to atomic threat
Turning her attention from Iraq to Iran, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan insists the U.S. has no justification for any kind of military response to the emerging nuclear threat from Iran, which today declared it successfully has enriched uranium.
Writing in the left-wing Buzzflash.com, Sheehan said that after a war in Iraq, President Bush, the “swaggering imbecile of a ‘leaker in chief’ has the nerve to be trying to sell all of us on a new war in Iran.”
“Do the warped neocons with their puppet president think that we are all stupid? Fool us once, shame on us, fool us, — well, we just can’t be fooled again,” she writes.
Cut and run, now for Iran – as if anyone will listen to this MORON.
Cindy, do you really want Iran to have a nuclear weapon so the Mullahs can wipe Israel off the face of the earth with one stroke?
Next, Cindy and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – get your Burka ready Cindy.
Stay tuned…..

Iran Nuclear Watch: United States Cannot Confirm Uranium Enrichment Claim
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announces Iran’s successful production of enriched uranium during a ceremony in Mashad, Iran, April 11, 2006. The United States said on Tuesday it could not confirm Iran’s claim it had enriched uranium to a level used in nuclear power plants.
Reuters: US says cannot confirm Iran’s enrichment claim
The United States said on Tuesday it could not confirm Iran’s claim it had enriched uranium to a level used in nuclear power plants.
“At this point, I can’t confirm any of the technical details. There is a lot that goes into a technical assessment of where the Iranians might be in their capability in operating a centrifuge cascade, whether it be a small one or a large one … I couldn’t offer an assessment for you as to where they stand in that process,” State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told a news briefing.
And does anyone really expect Iran to throw open the doors of Natanz so that the IAEA inspectors which are in country can inspect?
Stay tuned…….

Iran Nuclear Watch: Mark Steyn – Facing Down Iran
City Journal: Facing Down Iran
Anyone who spends half an hour looking at Iranian foreign policy over the last 27 years sees five things:
- contempt for the most basic international conventions;
- long-reach extraterritoriality;
- effective promotion of radical Pan-Islamism;
- a willingness to go the extra mile for Jew-killing (unlike, say, Osama);
- an all-but-total synchronization between rhetoric and action.

Iran Nuclear Watch: Ahmadinejad – “Iran Has Joined the Club of Nuclear Countries”
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad raises his fist after deliving a speech in Kalate Nader near the holy city of Mashhad, 950 kms northeast of Tehran. Iran’s hardline president declared his country was poised to enter the world’s “nuclear club” in defiance of UN Security Council demands, as the Islamic republic announced it had begun small scale enrichment of uranium.
ASSociated Press: Iran Hits Milestone in Nuclear Technology
Iran has successfully enriched uranium for the first time, a landmark in its quest to develop nuclear fuel, hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday. He insisted, however, that his country does not aim to develop nuclear weapons.
In a nationally televised speech, Ahmadinejad called on the West “not to cause an everlasting hatred in the hearts of Iranians” by trying to force Iran to abandon uranium enrichment.
Stalling has paid off for Iran. First, they cover up their nuclear development programfor decades and then they stave off the IAEA and the United Nations.
Is Iran close to developing enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon?
Israel intelligence around the first of 2006 said Iran may be 6 months to a year away. But, who really knows?
Iranian artists perform as they hold up samples of enriched uranium after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s speeches in Mashad, April 11, 2006.
“At this historic moment, with the blessings of God almighty and the efforts made by our scientists, I declare here that the laboratory- scale nuclear fuel cycle has been completed and young scientists produced enriched uranium needed to the degree for nuclear power plants Sunday,” Ahmadinejad said.
“I formally declare that Iran has joined the club of nuclear countries,” he told an audience that included top military commanders and clerics in the northwestern holy city of Mashhad. The crowd broke into cheers of “Allahu akbar!” or “God is great!” Some stood and thrust their fists in the air.
Stay tuned for the West’s response……

Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran Producing Enriched Uranium
 ***Update***
Matt Drudge is reporting: Iran's nuclear chief says Tehran has produced 110 tons of uranium gas, the feedstock for enrichment, nearly twice the amount previously known... Developing...
Iran’s former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani delivers a sermon during Friday prayers in Tehran, February 3, 2006. Iran is producing enriched uranium from 164 centrifuges, Rafsanjani told Kuwait’s KUNA news agency on Tuesday.
Reuters: Iran producing atomic fuel, Rafsanjani says
Iran is producing enriched uranium from 164 centrifuges, influential former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani told Kuwait’s KUNA news agency on Tuesday.
“We operated the first unit which comprises of 164 centrifuges, gas was injected, and we got the industrial output,” he said.
From the Kuwait News Agency and Associated Press:
Iran has enriched uranium for the first time using 164 centrifuges, a major development in its fuel cycle technology, news agencies quoted a former president as saying Tuesday.The announcement by former President Hashemi Rafsanjani was the first disclosure that Iran had successfully enriched uranium since February, when it began research at its enrichment facility in the town of Natanz.
“Iran has put into operation the first unit of 164 centrifuges, has injected (uranium) gas and has reached industrial production,” the Kuwait News Agency quoted Rafsanjani as saying.
“We should expand the work of these machines to achieve a full industrial line. We need dozens of these units (sets of 164 centrifuges) to achieve a uranium enrichment facility,” he said.
And Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had foretold this announcement.
Reuters: Iran: expect “good nuclear news” on Tuesday nightIranians will hear “good news” on Tehran’s nuclear program on Tuesday night, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, and Iranian media said this would mean Iran had enriched uranium for use in fuelling atomic reactors.
Such an announcement would mark a serious setback to UN Security Council efforts to have Iran suspend enrichment work. It could escalate a confrontation with Western powers leading to consideration of sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
The Council has demanded Iran shelve enrichment activity, which the West suspects is a preliminary step toward making nuclear bombs, and on March 29 asked the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to report on its compliance in 30 days.
Ok, there you have it, IAEA and United Nations Security Council. Flap would not be surprised if Iran has more than 164 centrifuges enriching uraniun.
The more stalling and obfuscatin is the West’s peril.
Stay tuned for the EU, American and Israeli responses.

France CPE Riot Watch: Protests Continue – “Only a First Victory”
Student leader Bruno Julliard smiles during an unions meeting outside Paris Monday April 10, 2006. President Jacques Chirac on Monday abandoned an employment measure that triggered massive protests and strikes, bowing to intense pressure from students and unions and dealing a blow to his loyal premier in a bid to pull France out of crisis. Poster reads ‘Withdraw the CPE’, which was the name of the planned new job contract.
Reuters: France faces more protests, asks if reform possible
France’s students and trade unions prepared a victory parade on Tuesday to mark the demise of a hated youth jobs law, with politicians and analysts split over whether the hope of labor market reform was dead too.
Opponents of the First Job Contract (CPE) vowed to keep up their guard until new measures to replace the “easy hire, easy fire” law for young workers have been passed.
In a sign that unrest that accompanied some of the protests might not be over, about 100 students blocked two bus depots in the southwestern city of Toulouse for four hours on Tuesday.
Anna Melun, local leader of the Unef student union, told Reuters that Monday was “a first victory” but students also had other grievances.
And the socialists in France will continue to stir the pot until they have victory in the 2007 elections when Chirac steps down. The business climate and the French economy will continue to flounder and unemployment will worsen.
And there is a “VICTORY?”
University employees hold signs for voters at the Rennes university, western France, Monday April 10, 2006. President Jacques Chirac on Monday abandoned an employment measure that triggered massive protests and strikes, bowing to intense pressure from students and unions and dealing a blow to his loyal premier Dominique de Villepin in a bid to pull France out of crisis. Opponents to blockade are invited to go on the left, while supporters of the blockade should go to the right.
Parliament will this evening start to debate the ruling party’s measures to help disadvantaged young people find work a day after President Jacques Chirac scrapped the CPE, a measure aimed at reducing a youth unemployment rate of 22 percent.
The marches, due to start early afternoon, should test sentiment since the government’s climbdown, though around 600 young people earlier marched in the southern city of Marseille demanding the total withdrawal of the equal opportunities law.
“We are calling for the pressure to be kept up until parliament votes the repeal of the CPE, including by blocking universities if necessary,” said Unef national head Bruno Julliard.
Unions refrained from calling for fresh strikes and some universities, including the protest center at Rennes in western France, voted to reopen classes with Easter holidays and spring examinations fast approaching.
So, is economic reform dead in France until the 2007 elections?
Most probably.
Stay tuned for photos of the victory march……
