... their hands. In exasperation. Shockingly, they were denied access to one of Iran's most top-secret nuclear facilities. The one that makes, uh, space-age teddy bears and not weapons. That one. "UN Inspectors in Iran Throw Up Their Hands," from the Atlantic Wire, February 22:
It's official: The United Nations nuclear inspections many thought Iran wouldn't let happen, didn't happen. The International Atomic Energy Agency's announced that Iran wouldn't grant UN inspectors access to Parchin, the place where Iran tests all those missiles it insists are not for nukes. The agency's press release on the matter was awfully curt ("terse" as The New York Times put it), which had reporters from AP, Bloomberg, and elsewhere cornering Herman Nackaerts, the IAEA's chief inspector, in Vienna's airport for elaboration. “We couldn’t get access and we couldn’t finalize a way forward" he said after two days of meetings trying to convince Iranian officials to allow him and fellow inspectors to see the missile site."It would now be up to the 35-nation IAEA board to decide on a response when it meets starting March 5," reports the AP. And with Iran blocking inspectors' access to the missile site, it's hard to believe Ayatollah Ali Khamenei when he reiterates, as he did today, that "we are not seeking nuclear weapons," The Guardian reports. Especially only one day after the Iranian military went around saying it would consider preemptive strikes against its enemies if threatened itself.
Well that was a waste of time. No surprises here.
"Theres nothing behind that curtain. Move along now."
Iran claims to be totally innocent of pursuing nuclear weapons. Then why do they act so guilty? They may want to review Iraq's recent history about what happens when you claim you've got something that you don't. I believe an attack is going to happen after this fiasco. The world may blame the attacker, but Iran will have nobody to blame but themselves. The attack should be overwhelming and it should be absolute.
Those teddy-bears were not named "Mohamed". I want to make that perfectly clear.
Time to stop talking and start bombing.
The people who are most responsible in the west for the increasing terrible price that the world and especially the US will inevitably have to pay, are those individuals who have said for years, financial pressures and incentives would work, extended your hand to them, their intentions are soley peaceful or worse "ilsamic nuclear proliferation can be contained".
The iranian national jihadist inertia has achieved such momentum that now it will roll and crush even the iranians themselves if any try to get in its way.It's just a matter of time, the only thing changeable is the stop point to the accelerating capacity for the iraninas to more powerfully conduct their military assaults and destruction.
No US boots on the ground in Iran! Drop tactical nukes on their nuke sites. It would be a well-deserved 'lifetime achievement award,' of sorts, for that violent & irrational nation.
you are wrong. the sanctions are killing the Iranian government. I am in touch with my family everyday. those bastards, their days are numbered. a millitary strike will only strngthen them.

Completely off-topic but somehow relevant:
"PARIS (Reuters)- After months of reassuring secularist critics, Islamist politicians in Tunisia and Egypt have begun to lay down markers about how Muslim their states should be - and first signs show they want more religion than previously admitted."

Well, "no", and, "yes".
They may actually NOT blame the "attacker", but the USA and Israel will be included in the blame, regardless of who attacks Iran, even if China or Saudi Arabia were to act.
But yes, Iran will have had nobody else to blame, and the screws are tightening on the Uber-Mohammedists in Tehran.
Nice snark, Marisol.

From the article:
"the Iranian military went around saying it would consider preemptive strikes against its enemies if threatened itself."
Yup, just like Mohammedan males who 'fear rebellion' from their wives, feel entitled to engage in pre-emptive beatings.
If they really said that, then if I were in Israel I would consider it a direct threat.
They're as good as saying that they intend to attack Israel and, well, a lot of other people, as soon as they can...and the 'justification' will be their *victims'* attempts at self-defence...
My advice to the USA and to Israel and to NATO countries now, would be this.
Stop talking. Stop with the useless talk and the negotiations that go nowhere because you're dealing with masters of taqiyya and kitman.
For about a week, or two weeks, or however long your instincts suggest, say *absolutely nothing*. Total silence. Pretend to ignore Iran completely.
And then strike, like the hammers of hell, out of the blue, without warning. Annihilate their nuke project or as much of it as can be got at from the air.
And then, afterward, say NOTHING. Ever. No apologies, no explanations. Absolute silence. Leave them to contemplate a series of smoking holes in the ground.
Me, I would also drop a large conventional MOP straight down the mahdi's well; but that's just me.
Three articles that supply food for thought.

'Pontificators of foreign policy often end up taking the party line when opining on what to do with particularly vexing questions.
'That appears to be the case today with Iran and Syria, where the majority of pontificators have fallen into the 'let's not bomb yet' camp on Iran, and the 'we must do something' camp in Syria.
However, if one simply looks at history and the present, it makes more sense to do exactly the opposite in both cases...'.

Save Iran -- Bomb Iran (With Additional Comment)
and 3/
http://newenglishreview.org/blog_direct_link.cfm/blog_id/31667
'Iranians Who Misperceive Their Own Reality'.
If, or when, Iran is attacked, it should be made clear to Iran that if the world is pushed, or tripped, into war, then when the bombs fall, so must the leaders of Iran. Nothing else will be acceptable after that point. It all must go, this has be the goal, and it must be completed.
Otherwise, who knows how the counter attack will fall, and on who? Once underway, the force needed must destroy everything about the science project, and leave nothing standing to use in a counter attack. All nuclear military sites, real or supposed, must be targeted.
If war starts with Iran, it must end with new leadership in Iran, there will be no other choice after that.
With modern nuclear weapons, the next war will be a 'one-punch war'.
Whoever throws the first punch wins.
If Iran is the first to launch an EMP attack on the US, Iran wins.
"one year after such attack, two-thirds of Americans will have ceased to exist"

The beginning of BHO's fall from grace is *now*. Gas prices are rising because he has discouraged domestic production and the other source - the Mideast - is in terminal turmoil due to his naive and incompetent foreign policy. He is now neatly caught in an electoral trap of his own making he will not escape from.

“Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive”
"a millitary strike will only strngthen them."
Taking away their means of mass murder and genocide trumps whatever strength you assume they'll gain. "them" will no longer be capable of destroying much outside of their borders regardless of their increased "strength".
Similar News, tougher sanctions on Iran ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QadcDmFJUNo
S.W.I.F.T., the Worlds Financial Hub, stands ready to implement sanctions against Iran as soon as the US and the European Union agree on them ...the move could shut down much of Iran's oil business, and put a hand to the throat of the Iranian ecomony (stated on the above video).
BTW, S.W.I.F.T. has NEVER cut off a country before ...
The situation with Iran is comparable to a schoolyard bully scenario played out on an international field. Bullies back down when their bluff is called by a show of determined force. Israel, backed by the U.S and Canada, should launch a preemptive strike on Iran now if the international Muslim bully is to be defeated.
As history shows, Hitler could easily have been beaten by French forces when he marched into the Rhineland in the mid-1930s. However, instead of standing up to the dictator, the French held back their forces, giving Hitler sufficient time to increase the size of his war machine and ultimately launch WWII.
I recall the Cuban Missile Crisis in which the Russians attempted to terrorize the U.S. into allowing nuclear missiles to enter Cuba. In that case, the U.S.’s determined stance against the Soviets resulted in a victory for the West: the pinko bullies slunk back home without uttering a word.
You can’t debate with a closed and brutal mind.
"The situation with Iran is comparable to a schoolyard bully scenario'
You can also decipher similarly the codex underling the mechanics which determine what actions hussein, gaddafi and all other middle eastern players will take. as in the world of science, the most complex phenomena is reducible to the simplest of equations. in this case, the schoolyard bully fits exactly, when we have demonstrated A)weakness, B)unwillingness to fight, they have, planned, struck, and attacked.
Iran: UN inspectors throw up....
... their hands. In exasperation.
................................
Hilarious, Marisol! And yet, I doubt the UN Inspectors will do anything more—they never have. It is past time for *us* to act...
