1. But according to U.S. Intelligence Agencies...
ex-frummie ,   Johannesburg S.A.   (08.30.12)
the Iranians have no intention of blah, blah, blah. The sooner Israel hits Iran, the better for Israel. The sooner Romney is voted into power, the better for the West.
2. "We can expect 10-20 million causalties tops" says General B
Dr. Stranglelove ,   DC   (08.30.12)
3. Anyone seen the Baroness?
Tim ,   Brighton   (08.30.12)
Whats her take on the Summit of Fools in Teheran? Whilst Khamenei rants and raves about the West, Zionism, the Evil USA, Sunni Islam, Nato...shes suddenly gone into deep freeze..into stony silence hoping this will just all go away And all this..whilst Khamenei is in a frenzy to refine more and more uranium And as Khamenei perceives the world does nothing so they get more brazen despite a broken economy Im willing to bet that very soon they will feel the time is right to start their Empire Building by seizing control of the Hormuz..
4. how rich is enriched?
dale ,   felton, ca usa   (08.30.12)
Iran is enriching to 20%, the medical level for the aging facility the US once gave to Iran. Weapons grade is 90%'' Reports that ignore this large difference are plying propaganda about WMDs in Iran. Remember Iraq lies and photos? This is the same.....looking for a pretext for war...this is "preventive war" which Eisenhower called an invention of Hitler, brutal and stupid.

PLANTS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7. Netanyahu is wasting time
(08.30.12)
Netanyahu is wasting time by going to the useless UN. He should attack immediately before its too late.
8. Its almost too late
Amos J   (08.30.12)
Its almost too late. Netanyahu now going to the U.N for more chattering & time-wasting. Seems he has also developed cold-feet ? USA wont do anything...nether Obama or Romney. Seems the Ayatollahs have won......
9. Iran will have nuke tech now, and 100 years from now
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.30.12)
...get used to it. Israel needs perpetual war to justify greater Israel, and to prevent '67 borders in Palestine, during Obama's second term.
10. TRUE..............HOW RICH IS ENRICHHED?..#4
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (08.30.12)
To start with,such reports,if you note,are particularly released to coincide with something happening in Iran or anything to do with Iran.The present very successful indeed summit of the NAM has obviously caused lots of publicity for Iran and the summit organised and being conducted has been superbly arranged by the Iranians.Now, what should be done to draw the world attention away from this successful summit?Here comes the news of increase in enriched uranium which is nothing new at all.The Iranians had announce their intention to increase the quantity of 20% enrivhed uranium more than a year back.How come the media picks it up exactly now?
11. Just one small tactical nuke = Bye-bye Fordo
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (08.30.12)
12. #2 Strangelove - and that's just Iran alone
(08.30.12)
13. #6 Chris
(08.30.12)
That's what they're already doing, because Iran has no illegal nuclear plants. They signed the "Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons" and therefore have the right to peacefully use nuclear technology.
14. If we don't preempt Iran with
Reuven   (08.30.12)
everything we've got, it will be Holocaust Two, G-d forbid! G-d helps those who help themselve. Massively hit Iran NOW!
15. IAEA report
(08.30.12)
How does the IAEA know? They have no access to the sight, because Iran doesn't cooperate. So what's the source of this information that Iran has 2140 centrifuges?
16. #11 - One "small" problem with your fantasy
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (08.31.12)
There is no such thing as a "tactical nuke." All nuclear bombs function the same and throw millions of tons of radioactive junk into the atmosphere, contaminating everyone and everything down wind. BTW - do you understand that 100,000 of the people you would contaminate are US soldiers in Afghanistan? How do you think the American population woudl react to Israel doing that?
17. #15 - The IAEA has FULL and COMPLETE access
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (08.31.12)
to the Fordo nuclear site. It has had this access since before any centrifuges were installed. Iran has FULLY COOPERATED with the IAEA on inspections of nuclear sites. The ONLY thing Iran has declined is IAEA access to NUCLEAR sites, which, per the NPT, the IAEA has no legal right to inspect.
18. #15 All The Reason NOT To Trust The
(08.31.12)
persian arabs with nuclear weapons! As Being A Signatory Of The NPT iaea inspectors Have The Right To Inspection Declared AND UNDECLARED Possible nuclear sites! The Billergant Threats Made Twords Israel And The Jewish People Is Cause Enough To Protect Jews And Israel, AT WHATEVER MEANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
19. Under the bus? Kidding ?
Nora Tel Aviv   (08.31.12)
A nuke, Mr. Romney , is not a bus.
