From Reuters:
VIENNA - New satellite imagery indicate Iran has expanded its uranium conversion site at Isfahan and reinforced its Natanz underground uranium enrichment plant against possible military strikes, a U.S. think tank said...The Institute for Science and International Security said in an email sent to news media with attached commercial satellite photos that Iran has built a new tunnel entrance at Isfahan, where uranium is processed into a feed material for enrichment.
There had been just two entry points in February, it said.
"This new entrance is indicative of a new underground facility or further expansion of the existing one," said ISIS, led by ex-U.N. arms inspector and nuclear expert David Albright.
ISIS also featured four satellite images taken between 2002 and January 2006 that it said showed Natanz's two subterranean cascade halls being buried by successive layers of earth, apparent concrete slabs and more earth and other materials.
The roofs of the halls now appear to be eight metres (26 feet) underground, ISIS said.
An investigative report in New Yorker magazine this month said the United States was mulling the option of knocking out subterranean Iranian nuclear sites with tactical atomic bombs.
President George W. Bush dismissed the story as "wild speculation" and said he remained focussed on diplomacy to defuse the confrontation with Tehran. But U.S. media accounts of air strike planning by the Bush administration have increased...
Hahaha, the Iranian crazies are going nuclear for peaceful purposes and Dubya says he isnt going to stop them with little atomic bombs.
A lie for a lie.....nothing wrong with that.
The Iranian government is slowly dragging its nation into ruin.
l just heard on a talk radio show, that some stupid people on a committee were trying to withold money to research the bunker bombs and or mini nuclear bombs.. these can destroy a very small pin pointed area, like nuclear sites, and not damage other surrounding areas. they are now trying to increase the research capability of this type of bombs. l am sure the sites are all marked off now by the US and Israel, ready to wipe them out when needed.
Nobody ever believes that the barking pitbull chained loosely in the drunken neighbor's yard is really dangerous until it snaps the feeble chain, leaps the too-low fence, and tears a luckless little kid to shreds.
Then the boo-hoo-hooing self-recrmination begins.
And only then you can act in P.C.ville.
We are just waiting for Mahmoud and the mad mullahs to kill a lot of people before we believe their threats to "kill a lot of people".
The fatally-naive need fatalities.
Lulu - Dianne Feinstein is very proud of her efforts to stop research on nukes for deep earth penetration. Check her website for her obtuse reasoning on this. But she is not the only one. They collectively had enough clout in this congress to defund the program.
Paraphrasing an unknown letter writer to my local paper, ... if dumb were a disease, many in the US Senate and House would be terminally ill.
This republic's reins of power seem to be in the hands of fools that are smitten by the dumb disease.
