More Details on What the U.S. Knows About Iran's Secret Nuclear Site
NewsWeek / NewsWeek

A U.S. counter-proliferation tells Newsweek that intelligence agencies have been tracking the construction of this secret Iranian facility for a matter of years. It's built inside a mountain and has been under construction for years. It is not finished, not operational, and the earliest they think it could become operational is a year from now or longer. One of the main reasons why President Obama, along with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, felt it was appropriate to talk about it now is that Iran for the first time acknowledged the facility to the International Atomic Energy Agency earlier this week.

Another reason they may have decided to confirm the site's existence now is to get the story out before the Iranians get their own spin out—which could be that this place is a pilot research facility. What's striking to US and other Western officials about the facility is its size: it's estimated to have the capacity to hold 3000 centrifuges. The reason why the US and other countries think this facility is probably intended for producing highly-enriched uranium for weapons is that it is too small for the kind of plant that would be needed to enrich the large quantities of uranium needed for a ci... >>>

"Secret" another ridiculous sound bite!

by Shah Ghollam on Fri Sep 25, 2009 08:47 AM PDT

Secret? How so? iran has just announced the existance of this empty facility to the world how secret can this be?

Obama's claim that the US intelligence services know about it for years (the claim streches the time to Bush administration) is nothing but a "damage control" tactic. That is because the USraelis have been ridicioulsly exeggerating Iranian nuclear capabilities to unbeliveable hights, how is it acceptable that the information was known to them for "years" without disclosing it to IAEA and the public? were they waiting for Iran to produce its first nuclear bomb before they go public? Highly unlikely!

Iranians will have a different perception from this event for sure. That is, regardless how cooperative they are in their nuclear activities, the West will vilify Iran even if that means resorting to fabricating lies.

That is a very dangerous message to send to Tehran!!!!

شیک نیویورک

شیک نیویورک است که این روزها مقامات و دیپلماتهای زیادی را از کشورهای مختلف در خود جا داده است. در یکی از... طبقات این هتل حدود هفتاد هشتاد سوئیت را اختصاص داده‌اند به هیئت جمهوری اسلامی. با هم برویم ببینیم آنجا چه خبر است:

اتاق محمود:
محمود با زیر شلواری راه راه و یک زیرپوش آستین حلقه‌ای نشسته‌است و دارد تلفنی با مقام عظما در تهران صحبت میکند و آخرین خبرهای موفقیت آمیز خود و هیئت همراه را به وی گزارش میدهد:
-... آقا نمیدونید چه صحنه جالبی بود. واقعا یک معجزه‌ای رخ داد. از لحظه‌ای که من رفتم پشت تریبون و همینکه بسم الله را گفتم و دعای فرج را شروع کردم یک باره تمام کافرین و ملحدینی که از کشورهای دیگر آمده بودند تبدیل شدند به صندلی!... باور کن راست میگم. همه‌شان تبدیل شدند به چوب و آهن و پلاستیک! تا آخر صحبت‌های ما همینطور بصورت صندلی باقی ماندند و پلک هم نزدند.
- احسنت احسنت. طیب‌الله انفاسکم!
- بعد از آنجا آمدیم بیرون. رفتیم دست به آب. البته از قبل فکر همه چیز را کرده بودیم. یک ماژیک کلفت توی جیبم قایم کرده بودم. آنرا درآوردم و روی دیوار دست به آب سازمان ملل با خط درشت نوشتم: مرگ بر اآمریکا! ای ملت آمریکا علیه استکبار جهانی و سرنگونی دولت غیرقانونی اوباما قیام کنید!
بعد کارمان را توی انجا کردیم و از لج ام سیفون را هم نکشیدم تا اعتراض خودمان را به امریکای جهانخوار اعلام کرده باشیم. البته جای شما خالی!
- احسنت.احسنت. طیب‌الله انفاسکم!
- بعد آمدیم توی هتل. توی راه دیدم اوه چه جمعیتی! تا چشم کار میکرد جمعیت سبزپوش توی خیابان‌ها جمع بودند و شعار میدادند. من خیلی تعجب کردم اینها را چطوری از تهران به اینجا آورده بودند. هنوز هم جلوی هتل هستند و دارند شعار میدهند «آشغال بیا بیرون».
- احسنت. احسنت. طیب‌الله انفاسکم!
- اما توی هتل هم ما بیکار نبودیم. چندین جلسه داشتیم با مستخدم‌ها و نظافتچی‌های هتل. البته بصورت تک تک. یعنی هروقت موقعیتی پیدا میکردیم با آنها وارد رایزنی می‌شدیم. آخه اینها با همه آدمهای کله گنده کشورهای دنیا ارتباط دارند. توی اتاق‌های آنها رفت و آمد دارند. برای آنها حوله و صابون و ملافه و دم‌پایی می‌برند. خلاصه اینها واسطه‌های خوبی هستند برای روابط بین الملل. دیروز یکی از آنها را به بهانه‌ای کشاندم توی اتاق خودم و یک بسته اسکناس صدلاری گذاشتم کف دستش و ازش خواستم برود اتاق مقامات دیگر کشورها و اخبار روابط غیراخلاقی سران آن کشورها را برایمان بیاورد.
ما باید بفهمیم توی داخل اتاق آنها چه میگذرد. ما این اطلاعات را لازم داریم تا زمانی که مدیریت جهان را بدست گرفتیم بدانیم چه کسانی مشکل اخلاقی دارند و چه کسانی ندارند. آنهایی را که روابط غیراخلاقی با خانم‌ها داشته‌اند را از پست ریاست جمهوری و نخست وزیری آن کشورها خلع می‌کنیم و برادران ارزشی خود را جای انها میگذاریم.

- احسنت احسنت طیب الله انفاسکم

The various news channels I

by vildemose on Fri Sep 25, 2009 03:44 PM PDT

The various news channels I watched this morning said Iran only disclosed this facility on Sept 21... earlier this week. Iran should have announced it to the IAEA when they began construction, apparently several years ago. Iran just found out that the West already knew about this secret facility. Iran therefore hoped to "pre-empt" by "disclosing" something they should have done  a long time ago.

Who knows what else they know and not telling yet. IRI is tupid if they think Obama is Bush.

Secret?

by capt_ayhab on Fri Sep 25, 2009 01:11 PM PDT

Excerpts:

The U.S. decision to discuss the previously secret enrichment facility came after the Iranian government notified the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna about the plant's existence. The IAEA
has requested access to the facility as soon as possible, and Iran is expected to comply.

//www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?story...

End Excerpts.

Iran had notified IAEA few weeks back about the facility.

The whole deal stinks a bit.

by پیام on Fri Sep 25, 2009 11:20 AM PDT

MKO, Iran and US all, all of sudden, reveal the existence of a second uranium enrichment site in Iran. It all seems a bit to coincidental. I'll wait with my judgment on this subject untill the dust has settled.

Ahmadinejad: Obama, You Are

Ahmadinejad: Obama, You Are Making A "Mistake" (VIDEO) Read more at:

 

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told TIME that President Obama should back off on his pressure to force Iran to disclose all its nuclear activity. He said that Obama is making a "mistake" and that Iran has "no secrecy."

Obama, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown opened the Group of 20 summit in Pittsburgh this morning by accusing Iran of having a second, previously secret nuclear facility. Obama said: "The Iranian government must now demonstrate through deeds its peaceful intentions or be held accountable to international standards and international law."

Watch the TIME interview with Ahmadinejad here:

In other words....."I don't deny it but it is none of Mr. Obama's business."
Sorry, I'm not for being global cop but this guy is a problem.
