Told ya so last time

Iran assembling centrifuge cascades

I’m going to have to make a new post category to cover these Well D’uh! situations.

VIENNA, Austria - Iran has assembled hundreds of advanced machines reflecting a possible intention to speed up uranium enrichment, diplomats have told The Associated Press.

One diplomat said more than 300 of the centrifuges have been linked up in two separate units in Iran’s underground enrichment plant and a third was being assembled. He said the machines apparently are more advanced than the thousands already running underground, suggesting they could be the sophisticated IR-2 centrifuge that Tehran recently acknowledged testing.

But a senior diplomat said that while the new work appeared to include advanced centrifuges, they were not IR-2s. He added that it was unclear whether the machines were above or below ground.

The location is significant, since the aboveground site at Natanz is for experimental work and the underground facility is the working enrichment plant.

A third diplomat — who like the other two closely follows Iran’s nuclear program — confirmed that Iran had started linking up advanced centrifuges in a configuration used for enrichment. But he said all remained above ground and none of the machines were running.

Their reports underlined Iran’s determination to push ahead with its enrichment program despite U.N. Security Council sanctions. One of the diplomats said officials in Tehran would likely detail the new centrifuge work on April 8, which Iran has designated National Nuclear Technology Day.

The workhorse of Iran’s enrichment program is the P-1 centrifuge which is run in cascades of 164 machines. But Iranian officials confirmed in February that they had started using the IR-2 centrifuge that can churn out enriched uranium at more than double the rate.

Yeah, and if they can build 10 of the IR-2s they can build 10,000. All it takes is a little more time.

Here we go again. Let’s drag out the nay-sayers and the apologists, the “chicken hawk” accusers, and all the other MSM talking heads who will try their damnedest to push our ostrich heads back under the sand. Nothing to see here people, move along. Let’s just all repeat the mantra that “Iran gave up it’s nuclear weapons research program in 2003”, even though recent weapons seizures in Iraq have shown that the Iranians are quite good at shaped charge munitions (EFPs are a type of shaped charge), which are the kind used to initiate nukes. In other words, they gave up the program because they knew enough to be able to light them off. But we must ignore that inconvenient truth.

UPDATE Second verse, same as the first!

Last time the mad mullahs got attention focused on their nuke program, it was mostly a subterfuge to move the focus off of Hezbollah and Hamas. It worked last time, and probably the time before that, so let’s do it again ... the West falls for it every time

War Is Talk Of Syria And Israel

By BENNY AVNI
Staff Reporter of the Sun
April 3, 2008
Reports that Syria has stepped up its military presence near Israel’s northern border have sparked increasing speculation on both sides that war may be imminent. Although some Israeli politicians are advocating negotiations with President al-Assad of Syria, the Israeli army deputy chief of staff said yesterday that retaliation against any nation that launches a war against Israel, the “strongest country in the region,” would be “painful.”

On the face of it, Syria may have enough of a pretext to launch a military offensive this spring.

According to several recent press reports, Syria and Iran have transferred chemical- and biological-tipped warheads to Hezbollah, which some claim possesses more missiles now than it did before the 2006 Lebanon war.

Oh, and the palis are fat with cash right now too. Wonder what they’ll spend it on? Food? Hardly. Thank you George Bush. And there’s no fence along the Egyptian border anymore. Oops.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
