Atomic Agency Concludes Iran Is Stepping Up Nuclear Work
Why anyone should be surprised by this is surprising to the Chief.
Inspectors for the International Atomic Energy Agency have concluded that Iran appears to have solved most of its technological problems and is now beginning to enrich uranium on a far larger scale than before, according to the agency’s top officials.
Isn’t this just about exactly what Iranian President Ahm-mad-on-a-jihad Ahmadinejad has been saying was their goal all along?
The findings may change the calculus of diplomacy in Europe and in Washington, which aimed to force a suspension of Iran’s enrichment activities in large part to prevent it from learning how to produce weapons-grade material.
So now that they’ve had their nose rubbed in the dung, even the Euros and the State Department’s Foggy Bottom Boysâ„¢ finally have to face reality…or at least pay it some lip-service.
In a short-notice inspection of Iran’s operations in the main nuclear facility at Natanz on Sunday, conducted in advance of a report to the United Nations Security Council due early next week, the inspectors found that Iranian engineers were already using roughly 1,300 centrifuges and were producing fuel suitable for nuclear
reactorsweapons , according to diplomats and nuclear experts here.

OK. So NOW what? I’m not holding my breath in anticipation of a bold response.
