| Iran says God protects nuclear program |
| 2008-02-18 |
| Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Sunday that God would punish Iranians if they do not support the country's disputed nuclear program, state radio reported. Gee, does the Holy Crayon address behavior related to nuclear programs? Does it apply to all nuclear programs, or only an Iranian nuclear program? "The Iranian people openly announce that they will defend their rights... God will reprimand them if they do not do so," state radio quoted Khamenei as saying. Pick one, Khamenei. The 68-year-old ayatollah, who has final say on all state matters, said Washington's claim that Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon is false. The Iranian government has long insisted its nuclear activities are only for peaceful generation of fuel. And that my friends is why we are developing a nuclear capable ICBM. "They know that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon, and they are just trying to block the Iranian nation from achieving advanced technology," Khamenei was quoted as saying in Tehran. Yeah, W has nothing better to do these days than to mess with you idiots. The U.S. has led the push for a third round of U.N. sanctions against Iran for refusing to halt uranium enrichment, a technology that can be used to produce nuclear fuel or material for an atomic bomb. As long as it doesn't interfere with their ability to pay Russia on time, it may stand a chance of getting ratified. Last month, the five permanent Security Council members — the U.S., Russia, China, Britain and France — agreed on a It probably boils down to "And no high-ranking governmental officials will be allowed to receive iPods or copies of Playboy." Iran insisted it would continue enriching uranium because it needed to provide fuel to a 300-megawatt light-water reactor it was building in the southwestern town of Darkhovin. That the Russians were supplying fuel for. Check. Iranian officials have said they plan to generate 20,000 megawatts of electricity through nuclear energy in the next two decades. Given how hot it might become in the next few years you might need it to run the air conditioners there. |
