After all, no one's actually tried to stop them yet. As elementary psychology observes, behavior that gets rewarded gets repeated. "Iran authorizes 10 new nuke plants, state media say," from CNN, November 29:
(CNN) -- Iran's Cabinet has authorized the construction of another 10 uranium enrichment plants, its state news agency announced Sunday, further defying international calls to halt its production of nuclear fuel.
The Iranian Cabinet approved existing plans for five more facilities similar to its current plant at Natanz and ordered planning for five more to begin, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported. The dispatch quoted Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as saying that the new plants will be used to produce fuel for civilian nuclear power stations.
The move comes two days after the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog, passed a resolution demanding that Iran stop construction on a previously secret nuclear facility at Qom.
The proximity to Qom is significant on more than one level: first, it reflects Ahmadinejad's obsession with the return of the Mahdi according to the Shi'ite tradition. But also, if Western powers were to attack the nuclear site, any collateral damage would be trumpeted as an act of brazen "Islamophobia" and used to drum up outrage and calls for revenge from Iran and the broader Islamic world.
The IAEA also repeated calls for Iran to stop its uranium enrichment program. The agency said it would not comment on Sunday's announcement.
Iran has said its uranium enrichment program is aimed at producing fuel for civilian power plants. But the United States and other countries have accused Tehran of working toward a nuclear bomb, and the IAEA's Friday resolution stated that Iran's refusal to comply with international demands "does not contribute to the building of confidence."
Nor does the IAEA's track record of minimal, largely symbolic action.
More brazen taunting and flaunting in the age of Obowma.
I hope the people who voted for that fool are proud of themselves. His naivete and ignorance about Islam are disturbing, and dangerous.
Meanwhile, back in Britain the mass influx of pro-jihad, pro-shari'ah Muslims continues:
Ten more uranium enrichment plants?! It's no coincidence that this decision was announced by the Iranian cabinet after Ajmadinejad returned from Latin America, showing that Iran worked out a deal for uranium extraction with Venezuela.
It's also more evidence that we can't only be concerned about jihadists, but about all groups and countries willing to work with jihadists to take down America & its allies.
In Turkey it has been revealed that a Turkish terrorist group with ties to the military had plans for a massive campaign of terror against Turkey's Christians.
Virgil -- very useful stuff there; I'm working on posting it. And in case you didn't catch it during the system switchover, it's still possible to send us article links using the contact form on the main page, or you can email me (marisolseibold at hotmail dot com) or email Robert directly. We can generally get to things faster that way.
let me guess....all the proposed new nuclear facilities will in or near large metropolitan areas with sizeable "civilian" populations...
Yesterday, in his remarks about Iran, Israel's former ambassador said that December is the real "money" month regarding Iran's response to the West. This corresponds to previous remarks by their Defense Minister. Since we cannot depend on "dithering" Obama to defend our citizenry from certain harm, we must trust that Israel will aggressively defend their citizens from certain harm. In doing so, Israel will defend the entire West and we should all remain forever grateful for their great sacrifice and service to us and the free world.
