Iran Nuclear Watch: The IAEA Inspectors
Michael Ramirez on Barack Obama and Iran
President Bush, the European Union and the United Nations have been unable to contain Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
But, never fear, Barack Obama WILL talk to Iran President Ahmadinejad and we will be on the rim of a golden world.
Right.

Barack Obama Fires Back at McCain Over Iran “Tiny Threat”
John McCain Responds To Obama Saying Iran Is A “Tiny” Threat
Earlier today Senator John McCain slammed Seantor Barack Obama over remarks Obama made about Iran being a “TINY THREAT.”
The full text of McCain’s remarks is here along with Obama’s previous statement.
“They might not be a superpower, but the threat the government of Iran poses is anything but ‘tiny.’…The next President ought to understand such basic realities of international relations.â€
Now, Barack Obama has fired back at McCain.
The Illinois Senator slaps back: He speaks out against McCain’s characterization of him on his Iran policy at a town hall meeting in Billings, Montana.
“You can vote for John McCain and nothing will change…or we can turn the page.â€
Blames “McCain-Bush policy†of invading Iraq for the growing threat of Iran. Adds “John McCain wants to double down on that failed policy.â€
Watch and listen to Obama deliver his blame Bush and McCain mantra here.
But, what will your Iran policy be as President, Senator Obama?
Blame Bush?
Blame McCain?
For the Iraq war?
The fact is Obama has NO experience in foreign policy and he has NO Iran policy but APPEASEMENT.
Advantage McCain.

Iran Nuclear Watch: Israel – Iran Could Have Nukes by 2009
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (2nd L) visits the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, 350 km (217 miles) south of Tehran, April 8, 2008
Israel now believes that Iran with its uranium enrichment centrifuges spinning at Natanz will be able to begin enriching uranium on a military scale this year.
The new assessment moves up Israel’s forecasts on Teheran’s nuclear program by almost a full year – from 2009 to the end of 2008. According to the new timeline, Iran could have a nuclear weapon by the middle of next year.
Iran, a senior defense official said on Tuesday, had encountered numerous technical obstacles on its way to enriching uranium but was now on track to master the technology needed to enrich uranium within six months.
Israel is also concerned that Teheran is developing a cruise missile that can evade interception by the Arrow, the IDF’s anti-ballistic missile defense system. Iran is suspected of having smuggled Ukrainian X-55 cruise missiles and using them as models for an independent, domestic project. A cruise missile, which flies at low altitudes to dodge radar detection and interception, could be used to carry a nuclear warhead.
In the meantime, the United States sits idly by as Iran exports extremists to kill American soldiers in Iraq.
Flap agrees with John Bolton on this one.
So, will the United States continue its emphasis on economic and political sanctions while Iran develops BREAKOUT CAPABILITY?
Stay tuned…….

Shocker: Iran Says it Will NOT Halt Nuclear Program
Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, seen here in March 2008, vowed that Iran would press ahead with its controversial nuclear programme, two days after world powers said they had prepared a new package to end the crisis.
In a shocking revelation Iran’s Supreme leader, Ayatatollah Ali Khamenei, told the West to go to hell with attempting to stop him and the other Iranian Mullahs to develop their Allah-given right to develop nuclear
energyweapons.Iran’s top leader says his country will not bend to international pressure and give up its nuclear program, according to state television.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say in all state matters, said Iran will continue its nuclear program despite Western efforts to thwart it with sanctions.
“No threat can hinder the Iranian nation from its path,” he said Sunday.
The U.N. Security Council has already imposed three sets of sanctions on Iran for its refusal to halt uranium enrichment. World powers agreed Friday to try again to lure Iran to the nuclear bargaining table with a repackaged set of incentives.
President Bush has “PUNTED” this issue to the next Presidency but nothing short of armed confrontation and destruction of Iran’s capacity to manufacture nuclear material including the missile delivery components will stop them.
The United Nations and the European Union have been failures in preventing Iran from further developing its nuclear program.
In the meantime, the uranium enrichment centrifuges continue to spin at Natanz and other clandestine sites spewing out enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb.
An Iranian puts the finishing touches to a slogan reading “Down with U.S.A” painted on a car windscreen in Tehran. Iran will reject any offer that violates its right to the full nuclear fuel cycle, the foreign ministry said on Monday after world powers said they had prepared a new package to end the atomic crisis.

Iran “Reminded” with Deployment of USS Abraham Lincoln
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates “REMINDS” Iran with a second carrier group in the Persian Gulf.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday that sending a second aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf could serve as a “reminder” to Iran, but he said it is not an escalation of force.
Speaking to reporters after meeting with Mexican leaders, Gates said heightening U.S. criticism of Iran and its support for terrorist groups is not a signal that the administration is laying the groundwork for a strike against Tehran.
Still, he said Iran continues to back the Taliban in Afghanistan.
“I do not have a sense at this point of a significant increase in Iranian support for the Taliban and others opposing the government in Afghanistan,” Gates said. “There is, as best I can tell, a continuing flow, but I would still characterize it as relatively modest.”
In other words, the United States is now exposing the “PROXY WAR” which Iran has been conducting in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The slow playing of an Iranian conflict MAY be drawing to a close.
Stay tuned………

Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran Demands Azerbaijan Deliver Russian Nuclear Shipment
United Nations sanctions might actually be enforced?
Iran demanded Sunday that Azerbaijan deliver a Russian shipment of nuclear equipment blocked at its border with Iran for the past three weeks.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said in his weekly briefing that his country has asked the Azerbaijani ambassador in Iran to get his government “to deliver the shipment as soon as possible.”
The blocked nuclear equipment “is in the framework of Iran-Russia cooperation” and there should be “no ban on it,” he said about the shipment destined for a Russian-built nuclear reactor in the southern Iranian port city of Bushehr.
Azerbaijan has said it was seeking more information about the shipment due to fears that it might violate any of the three sets of U.N. Security Council sanctions imposed on Iran over its failure to halt uranium enrichment.
On Monday, Russian state-run company Atomstroiexport said that one or two trucks carrying the equipment for Iran were stopped two weeks ago at the town of Astara, on the Azerbaijani-Iranian border.
Company spokeswoman Irina Yesipova said officials were holding talks with both Azerbaijan and Iran about the incident. She said the shipment contained “heat-isolating equipment” essential to the plant’s operation but that the holdup was not likely to delay the startup of the plant.
Flap cannot help but think that something other than “heat-isolating equipment” is involved here.

Hillary Clinton Watch: Totally Obliterating Credibility
Michael Ramirez on Hillary Clinton “Totally Obliterating Iran”
News Item: Clinton says U.S. could “totally obliterate” Iran
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton warned Tehran on Tuesday that if she were president, the United States could “totally obliterate” Iran in retaliation for a nuclear strike against Israel.
On the day of a crucial vote in her nomination battle against fellow Democrat Barack Obama, the New York senator said she wanted to make clear to Tehran what she was prepared to do as president in hopes that this warning would deter any Iranian nuclear attack against the Jewish state.
“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran (if it attacks Israel),” Clinton said in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
“In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them,” she said.
“That’s a terrible thing to say but those people who run Iran need to understand that because that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish and tragic,” Clinton said.
Hillary was and is pandering to Jewish voters in Pennyslvania, Florida and New York. Who is she trying to kid?
HRC has no credibility on the right and the left thinks she is a sabre-rattler and warmonger.

Shocker: Iran Threatens To Eliminate Israel
Michael Ramirez on Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions
New Item: Iran Threatens to Eliminate Israel
Iran will eliminate Israel if it attacks the Islamic Republic, Iran’s deputy army chief warned Tuesday in words conjuring up Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s threats to wipe Israel off the map.
“Should Israel take any action against Iran, we will eliminate Israel from the scene of the universe,” Gen. Muhammad Reza Ashtiani said in Teheran on Tuesday.
Ashtiani’s statement followed Infrastructure Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer’s comment last week warning Iran that any attack on Israel would result in the “destruction of the Iranian nation.”
Ashtiani claimed Israel was “very vulnerable” and dismissed allegations that Iran was worried about Israeli maneuvers.
And, let’s see Iran President Ahmadinejad says Britain, Israel and the United States are to disappear as the Pharaohs. Yet, the United Nations writes meaningless sanction resolutions and the uranium enrichment centrifuges continually spin at Natanz.
One of these days, someone in the world will take Iranian threats seriously.
