Georgian Opposition Leader Says Russia Helping Iran Make Nuclear Weapons

http://www.mosnews.com/news/2005/03/23/georgiawarns_.shtml

The leader of Georgia�s right-wing opposition, David Gamkrelidze, has said that Russia is helping Iran produce a nuclear bomb, Russia�s Rosbalt news agency reported on Wednesday.

Gamkrelidze was criticizing Kakha Bendukidze, Georgia�s minister of economic reforms who is also the head of the Russia�s Atomstroiexport corporation � the company building the Iranian nuclear plant at Bushehr.

The opposition politician said Russian secret services had sent Bendukidze to Georgia. Gamkrelidze also added that Bendukidze held a stake in Atomstroiexport � �the company that is helping Iran build a nuclear power plant, but in reality is helping Iran to make a nuclear bomb�.

1. Hmmm...

Have we heard this before?

Right wing opposition leader (Chalabi) making unsubstantiated claims about WMD (Iraqi Nukes) as a pretext for heroic (Neocon) intervention.

Just move along citizen...nothing to see here.

Oceania has always been at war with...?

2. If the Russians really are helping, it wouldn't take long.

If Bush really believed this, he wouldn't dare invade Iran. I mean, how long would it take for the Russians to help Iran whip together a few A-bombs? They have nearly sixty years experience, after all.
