UN nuclear watchdog chief: 'Iran isn't building a bomb'

I believe that I'll trust the IAEA over our "intelligence" agencies that obviously got the total of Iraq's "weapons of mass destruction" completely right.

Is this just another entry in the volumes of 'Hidden Agenda' ...is W focusing on the business at hand again..? Or, is this just another episode of 'Hidden Agenda'..?...with W involved way over his head..."lets feed the bleating sheep, then they'll be silent and go away,"...meanwhile, back at the WWranch...Do the cattle prople like the sheep people..? Maybe the W is taking care of business...HIS business..!!! Will we let this 'shove it down their throats' tyranny expand into the next administration..? If so, then, who will be the next tyrant ..? ...because, the whole world knows, children know, that this administration should be, at the very least, talking to the Iranian 'fat cats'... running the show...about How To Establish Peace in The Middle East...Not War...when making this facimile of a profound public statement, this man shoouuld be made aware that he is supposed to be speaking for the majority of Americans....not his own best interests...

...who can possibly be under investigation now..?

'We The People' need to focus on the business at hand...

Bush is an idiot. Once again, never mind the truth, here's the version we want you to swallow.

Once again the mainstream media in both the US and UK dampen stories like this down to meet their controllers dictates

They were right about Iraq and it didn't stop us...

Didn't Bush once say something along the lines of, "In my line of work, you have to keep saying stuff over and over again until it's true." or at least "until it sinks in."?

Bush's Official* Response:

"LA-LAHH-LA-LAHH! I can't hear you! LAHH-LA-LAHH!"

I know why Bush wants people to believe him when he states Iran is a danger to the US. He wants to blow up every country in the middle east that has huge amounts of money invested in the American economy. That's called robbery. Back to are old trick force and violence. I don't believe a word that come out this cats mouth.

I don't know if Iran is building a nuclear bomb, but I do know that it would salivate at the chance of doing so. It feels threatened by America ever since Bush put it in the "axis of evil", it feels threatened by its Sunni Muslim neighbors as it is a Shiite Muslim country, and it feels threatened by Israel so much so that it has threatened on numerous occasions to "throw the Zionist regime into the sea".

There is no question in my mind that Iran would build the bomb if it could, and there is no question in my mind that it could build it, as the technology has already been leaked by a Pakistani man who is now under house arrest for selling the technology to the North Koreans.

Lastly, I am very confident that the first thing it would do if it acquired the bomb is to nuke Tel Aviv (which would in turn cause WWIII), and to hold the bomb as a strategic leverage against every western interest in the world.

I know that America is responsible for much of Iran's anti-western sentiments, as we overthrew their democratically elected government in the 50s to stop them from nationalizing their oil industry, because we had a hand in overthrowing the Shah in the late 70s, because we sold weapons to Saddam in his war against Iran in the 80s, and because we put them on the axis of evil list in the 00s. Nevertheless, I am a rational self-interested individual who fears for the day Iran gets the bomb, because they are going to target my city of Los Angeles, and not the homes of those who gave them reason to hate America.

Bombing Tel Aviv would not spark WWIII As you said, Iran is worried abput his Sunni Neighbours and rightly so. Usind an A-Bomb would leave every other country (inlcuding Russia) no other choice then supporting a retaliation against Iran (or an US-led invasion).
So actually using the A-Bomb would lead to the destruction of Iran and I think the Iranians know that perfectly well.
I would agree, that they should not be allowed to acquire the bomb (as any other country as well), but they are away from it like 10 years at best...

When you know that your president is is a con man believing anything he says is almost impossible. We also know that the people in the middle east have been fed a constant diet of propaganda about us. The idea of them aquiring the knowlege and materials to build a nuclear weapon is very real. I am inclined to believe that the George/Dick administration would love to have another Iraq situation in Iran. The question is is there anything the American people can do to influence what happens.

It doesn't matter what the official 'watch-dogs' say. If Israel want to attack, then they dont need or want to hear evidence to the contrary. Look at how holocaust revisionists are treated, whisked away to prison by the Moused gestapo.
Besides, if Israel can have an arsenal of weapons, why cant any bordering country?? Double standard bullshit that America should not support. UN should be dissolved for they are biased too.

Nuclear = Unclear

This should be the headline item on Current for as long as the White House keeps on spinning.

to those people who are so "confident" that iran will bomb tel aviv or america the first chance they get..

your confidence is severely misplaced.. nevermind the crystal-clear logic that was cited above with regards to retaliation and the overwhelming global response to an iranian nuclear bomb..

also try to forget the 60 year history of american interference in iranian affairs.. from assassinating the first democratically elected president of iran in the 1950's to staging a puppet war through saddam hussein for almost 10 years.. if iran was hellbent on retaliation, it would have happened by now..

there remains only one entity in the history of the world which has ever used a nuclear bomb.. it is the same country which is currently embroiled in a costly 6-year disaster which continues to claim thousands of young american soldiers and hundreds of thousands of iraqi lives including innocent children.. and this same country is currently being led by an administration which continues to disregard widespread demand for dialogue and diplomacy as a solution and opts instead for aggressive, confrontational positioning..

it is true that iran opposes israel's existence.. without a doubt it has made clear that it supports the palestinian people in their struggle to reclaim their land which continues to be occupied unjustly by a zionist regime.. officials of the islamic republic take full advantage of every opportunity it can find to publicly condemn zionist or american influence in the middle east and in the world at large.. but to preemptively drop a nuclear bomb and blanket an entire region with destruction and radiation for generations to come is entirely different..

people seem to forget that jerusalem is of utmost holiness to muslims, iran included.. not to mention the thousands of years of iranian culture and autonomy which serve as testimony that iranian leaders tend to know how to handle their issues without dropping bombs and invading neighbors..

is iran stationing itself across both of america's border? is iran sending warcraft from halfway around the world to patrol the gulf of mexico? is iran funding fringe organizations to cause social discord and overthrow the american government? who is threatening who?

george bush would have you conveniently ignore all of the above.. this administration continues to justify preemptive policy by repeating this ridiculous claim of iran determined to use a nuclear bomb.. to bluntly declare that iran will use a nuclear bomb the very first chance it gets without hesitation.. is utterly ignorant..

This is something the U.S. government should really look at, if they even attempt or say that they are going in to Iran to get nuclear weapons they are going to look extremely stupid. Stay out.

I fear that at this moment the U.S. government is already looking extremely stupid. And because they already do look so incredibly stupid the U.S. government might just say, "Screw it, we already look incompetent so we might as well do what we want."

Consider that the fear mongers, W and cronies, are spewing profuse mounds of misinformation (that's why they must ignore the real intelligence...it doesn't jive with their hidden agenda) If you believe their B.S... because it is just fear tactics, then you're already in trouble...you've been played...

Iran is a long way from bomb ability. A few pompous asses may wish Israel erased, but the majority of the population in Iraq only fear that Dubya will actually push the button... without considering them, The People...He has a knack for not caring about the people. Besides, if Iran even came close to creating and preparing to launch a bomb, don't you think we would know about it...Just because W and crew ignored 911 warnings, doesn't mean we didn't know about it...It only means that allowing it to happen jived with their hidden agenda, so they had to let it happen...or rather, help those responsible to prepare for it to hapen, for the maximum effect...

I question the motives of anyone who believes in Bush's B.S. and even considers voting for Grampy McSame...would you actually want four more years of this...convoluted clusterf##k..?

Really funny vid, Hawkmang...thanks for the laugh...

If the UN told me the sky was blue I would go outside and check for myself.

The U,N. is the most useless organization on this planet.

"If you need to resolve an issue, you need to see where people are coming from," said ElBaradei. "We should have learned from now that dialogue, not isolation, is the way to move forward."

Gee, you think?

"Gee, you think?"

Kati,

Neville Chamberlain would have agreed with you.
