THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

" One in 10 chance perhaps, but save Chile! ... not concerned with risks involved ... $10,000,000 available, more if necessary ... make the economy scream."-- CIA Director Richard Helms, discussing plan to destabilize government of Chile under democractically-elected President Salvador Allende

 

Big-bang report blasts Iran

One week ahead of the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations in New York, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has issued a new report that while confirming the agency's full-scope inspection and verification of Iran's nuclear activities, discovering no evidence of any military diversion, is permeated with "serious concerns" and "outstanding questions".

The problem is the IAEA's failed record with respect to Iraq, where eventually the US utilized information procured by the IAEA to help justify its invasion in 2003.

The Iraq analogy is hardly misleading. Just as Iraq was pressed to "prove a negative", that is, the absence of a clandestine weapons of mass destruction program, the IAEA is now dead set on denying Iran a clean bill of health as long as it has not satisfied concerns about a similar absence.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

You can't prove a negative.

It appears that the IAEA has knuckled under to US and Israeli pressure, and these are the accusations we'll see unveiled at the next opening of the United Nations session in New York.

When accusations like this were made against Iraq in the fall of 2002, we attacked and occupied the country in 2003.

It does appear, at least at this moment, that neither Ahmedinejad (nor any other members of the Iranian government) have been granted their visas from the US for a visit to this UN session.

These visas may still be granted, but if not, you can bet that it is no mere accident or oversight on the part of the US government
