Iran Nuclear Watch: Ali Larijani – “Iran will follow its nuclear programme with patience.”
Ali Larijani, the head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, speaks to reporters in March 2006. Larijani has vowed that the clerical regime would press on with uranium enrichment work despite mounting international pressure to freeze its sensitive nuclear activities.
AFP: Iran set to ignore UN demand for nuclear freeze
Iran’s top nuclear official has vowed that the clerical regime would press on with uranium enrichment work despite mounting international pressure to freeze its sensitive nuclear activities.
“Why should Iran suspend its research activities?” Ali Larijani, the head of the Supreme National Security Council, was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency.
Enrichment can be extended from making reactor fuel to the production of warheads, but Larijani branded a UN Security Council demand for a suspension by April 28 as “not rational”.
“One should not follow such propositions… which are not rational,” he said, adding: “Iran will follow its nuclear programme with patience.”
Iran has been consistent and the United States has been patient.
But, with the announcement that Iran is accelerating uranium enrichment with new more technologically advanced centrifuges (P-2) United States and Israel’s parience is exhausted.
New York Times: Iran Claims Nuclear Steps in New Worry
Of all the claims that Iran made last week about its nuclear program, a one-sentence assertion by its president has provoked such surprise and concern among international nuclear inspectors they are planning to confront Tehran about it this week.
The assertion involves Iran’s claim that even while it begins to enrich small amounts of uranium, it is pursuing a far more sophisticated way of making atomic fuel that American officials and inspectors say could speed Iran’s path to developing a nuclear weapon.
Iran has consistently maintained that it abandoned work on this advanced technology, called the P-2 centrifuge, three years ago. Western analysts long suspected that Iran had a second, secret program — based on the black market offerings of the renegade Pakistani nuclear engineer Abdul Qadeer Khan — separate from the activity at its main nuclear facility at Natanz. But they had no proof.
ASSociated Press: Iran Advances Could Speed Nuclear Process
Iran’s recent claim it was testing a more sophisticated type of nuclear enrichment centrifuge could mean the country has significantly sped up the process of making fuel for power plants or bombs, analysts familiar with the technology said Monday.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told students Wednesday that the Islamic republic was testing the P-2 centrifuge — a more sophisticated type. A day earlier, he had trumpeted Iran’s success in enriching a small amount of uranium using a less-sophisticated type of centrifuge.
The president’s words were Iran’s first acknowledgment it is working with the faster P-2 and came after the country told the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency it had given up all such work three years ago. It is not clear if Iran had been doing work all along on the more-sophisticated model, or had recently restarted efforts.
A view of the uranium conversion site at Isfahan, Iran, is seen in this DigitalGlobe satellite image released with notations by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) on April 16, 2006. New satellite imagery indicate Iran has expanded its uranium conversion site at Isfahan and reinforced its Natanz underground uranium enrichment plant against possible military strikes, a U.S. think tank said. The ISIS said, in an email sent to news media with attached commercial satellite photos, that Iran has built a new tunnel entrance at Isfahan, where uranium is processed into a feed material for enrichment.
So, how do these bloviations from Ahmadinejad and his Mullah controlled minions affect the United States and Israel?IT GIVES THEM COVER.
American will await the IAEA report to the United Nations Security Council and a vote for sanctions. If Russia or China vetoes the resolution the United States has the “COVER” of a secret Iranian nuclear weapons program to rationalize a military operation.
Now, who in the international community can blame the United States for protecting its troops in Iraq when an Iranian nuclear weapon may be imminent, say, within three to five months?
Well. probably the Europeans – except the French.
Stay tuned……

Illegal Immigration Watch: Send a Brick Project
The Send-A-Brick Project was created by concerned citizens to send bricks to Washington encouraging our Congressmen to stand tough on border security.
Each brick sends a message to our Senators and Representatives that we want our borders secured before any other action is taken on illegal immigration.
We believe that if everyone who visits this site sends a brick to their Congressmen, we will send a BIG message that the American public wants secure borders NOW.
The open border policies of the United States are hurting our country. We have a tide of illegal immigrants entering our nation and our unsecured borders are an open invitation for terrorists to enter our country.
Please Send A Brick to your Congressmen today and let them know that you want a comprehensive border security plan that includes:
– A security wall along the entire southern border
– Better technology for customs and border operations
– More funding and personnel for our Border Patrol
– An overall increased security presence on our southern border.When our border is secure, only then can we talk about other aspects of illegal immigration.
We are tired of open borders, uncontrolled immigration, terrorist infiltration, the spread of pandemic diseases, criminal alien gangs and all the other horrors that can arise due to our defenseless borders and unenforced immigration laws.
Flap says send Congress a Brick.
You know you will be glad you did!
Some samples of bricks already sent :

Jane Fonda Watch: “Too Much Baggage”
ASSociated Press: Jane Fonda Declines War Protests
Jane Fonda says she would like to tour the country and speak out against U.S. involvement in Iraq, but her controversial history of Vietnam War protests leaves her with “too much baggage.”
“I wanted to do a tour like I did during the Vietnam War, a tour of the country,” the Oscar-winning actress said Monday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “But then Cindy Sheehan filled in the gap, and she is better at this than I am. I carry too much baggage.”
Come on Jane….once a TRAITOR ALWAYS A TRAITOR. Baggage is NOT even the WORD.
Fonda said that during a recent national book tour, war opponents _ including some Vietnam veterans _ asked her to speak out.
Jane, you should speak out.
How do you spell UNCOMMITTED HOLLYWOOD HYPOCRITE?

Illegal Immigration Watch: The BACKLASH
New York Times: Demonstrations on Immigration Harden a Divide
“The size and magnitude of the demonstrations had some kind of backfire effect,” said John McLaughlin, a Republican pollster who said he was working for 26 House members and seven senators seeking re-election. “The Republicans that are tough on immigration are doing well right now.”
Mr. Hayworth said, “I see an incredible backlash.” He has become one of the House’s most vocal opponents of illegal immigration and is one of dozens of Republicans who have vowed to block the temporary-worker measure that stalled in the Senate.
The illegal immigration issue will NOT go away despite the congressional recess and the United Sates Senate’s intransigence.
Flap believes some of the President’s unpopularity is disaffecton of his GOP base with his “Guest Worker” plan.
The United States must secure the USA-Mexico border FIRST with a “wall,” fencing, troops and electonic means. Once the rushing tide of more “illegals” is stemmed, then the congress can deal with the remaining 12 million illegal folks already here.
Captain Ed agrees with The Immigration Backlash
