Iran begins feeding nuclear centrifuges--official
Tue Feb 14, 2006 1:08 PM ET

VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran has begun feeding uranium hexafluoride gas into centrifuges at its pilot nuclear fuel enrichment facility at Natanz, an official close to the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency said on Tuesday.

He said International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors observed Iranian scientists putting UF-6 gas into a "very small number" of centrifuges, machines that turn uranium into fuel for nuclear reactors or, if enriched to high levels, atomic bombs.

Even if the United States does nothing Israel will bomb Iran. No question. Maybe that is what that idiot running the country wants the way he is running his mouth. He knows he has the support of his fellow muslims and Israel and the US can't bomb everyone. He's looking to unify the Islamic nations against the US/Israel and send the price of oil through the roof. He may lose his nuclear program but he still gets what he wants, economic caos in the west and unification of the muslim world.

A 2 paragraph article that quotes an unknown source saying basically nothing certainly wouldn't be a cause for war in any sane universe.

IRAN won't have the bomb until 2009 at the very earliest, and that date is in serious doubt.

Everyone is all panicky over this. I think the Neo Cons should have to finish the first war they started before mommy buys them another one...
