Iran, in Today's News 10.02.09

Iran. The United States-Israel hype about Iran's potential for nuclear weapons is all a ruse, of course. The real goal of these two powers is to bring Iran to its knees so that Israel has predominant power in the middle east. The nuclear-weapons accusation is just the best way of covering the real aim.

But, since the accusation is false, it is relatively easy for Iran to defuse the propaganda. They just stick to the facts and its disarms the opposition.

Case in point is today's reported events. Iran has agreed to allow inspectors to visit the now famous 'secret' new nuclear facility that got Obama and his buddies so excited a few days ago. Because there is no nuclear weapons production or potential at the site, the inspection should go moderately well and Iran will have undermined the recent widely trumpeted charges of secret facilities.

One can almost hear the frustration of the war planners. Here they had a perfectly nice little justification for war building up, and Iranian President Ahmadinejad goes and spoils everything.

Another case in point. Iran has agreed to transfer the bulk of its nuclear fuel to other countries to enrich it. This decision so upset the war-planners that the Wall Street Journal couldn't help editorializing that Iran was faking it. Here's a first-paragraph quote from the page one WSJ article, "The officials said the surprise move could temporarily reduce Tehran's potential to make bombs, but analysts cautioned that the Iranians merely may be seeking to defuse pressure for sanctions while continuing their nuclear program."

Translated: they completely out-maneuver us, but we are  going to keep saying the same things anyway.
