Understandably, the Iranians are infuriated. Congress has the nerve to accuse Iran of terrorism, while US troops are waging two illegal wars in countries bordering theirs. They have granted U.N. inspectors access to Qom, begun negotiations with the U.N. in Vienna, and even tentatively agreed to export most of their enriched uranium.

Last week IAEA chief Mohamed El Baradei briefed the New York Times about Qom:

"It's a hole in a mountain... nothing to be worried out . "The idea was to use it as a bunker under the mountain to protect things.

This whole business of enrichment is a non-issue anyway because Iran has only 1600 kilograms of low-enriched uranium, unsuitable for an atomic bomb. Even if the Iranians had weapons-grade uranium, they could not make it into a bomb under the auspices of the IAEA. Iran simply cannot produce a nuclear weapon.

The only nation in the Middle East that has nuclear weapons is our psychotic ally, Israel. The Jewish state reserves the right to launch a pre-emptive strike against Iran's nuclear infrastructure at any time. This from a country that refuses to allow U.N. Inspectors access to their arsenal, or sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Although nothing is official, there are unconfirmed reports that Israel already plans to attack Iranian nuclear targets after Christmas. According to the French weekly Le Canard Enchaine, the Israeli Chief of Staff Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi has secretly briefed his counterparts from The United states and France on Israel's war plans.


Ephraim Sneh, a former Israeli deputy defense minister, told London's Sunday Times;

"If no crippling sanctions are introduced by Christmas, Israel will strike...If we are left alone, we will act alone."
