Iran Approves Building 10 Enrichment Sites
Under Iranian law, Iran’s nuclear agency has been tasked with providing 20,000 megawatts of electricity through nuclear power plants during in the next 20 years. IRNA said the country needs to build enrichment facilities to produce nuclear fuel for its future power plants.
Now this is the spin Iran put’s on it. So you have to ask yourself – Why would a country that ranks 3rd in the known oil reserves of the world and is the fourth largest oil producer in the world – need to generate it’s power using nuclear energy? Hmmmm, I guess they are concerned with global warming? Maybe they are convinced by what Al Gore has to say?
Or maybe the leaders of Iran are rushing forward – hell bent to develop ICBM Nuclear Warheads?
You think? What will Barry & Hillary do now? Send another strongly worded letter? The UN is impotent in this matter. Now is the time to think about reversing all this pandering to the nutjobs of the world. Maybe now is the time to defund the UN and sell it’s building. The whole irony of this of course – is that Barack Obama may become only the second president in US history to have to drop some nuclear bombs.

Mohamed ElBaradei caps his contentious and ultimately failed 12-year stint as head of the International Atomic Energy Agency today, having spent many years enabling Iran’s nuclear bids only to condemn them in his final days in office. Mr. ElBaradei combined his rebuke of Iran with his familiar calls for more negotiation, but we’ll take his belated realism about Iran as his tacit admission that Dick Cheney and John Bolton have been right all along. Let’s hope the education of the Obama Administration doesn’t take as long.
As if to underscore the point, yesterday the Iranian government ordered up 10 additional uranium enrichment plants on the scale of its already operational facility in Natanz, which has a planned capacity of 54,000 centrifuges. That could mean an eventual total of more than 500,000 centrifuges, or enough to enrich about 160 bombs worth of uranium each year. Whether it can ever do that is an open question, but it does give a sense of the scale of the regime’s ambitions.
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
