Bush: World Will Act If Iran Won't Halt Uranium Enrichment

WASHINGTON — President Bush said Thursday that the standoff over Iran's suspected nuclear program is headed for the U.N. Security Council if Tehran continues to refuse to halt uranium enrichment.

"We'll see whether or not that is the firm position of their government," Bush said after a meeting with his Cabinet at the White House. "If they continue their obstinance ... then the world will act in concert."

With Russian and Chinese support crucial to crafting a deal for Iran that also includes a threat of sanctions, Bush said that he "got a positive response" from Russian President Vladimir Putin during a conversation on Tuesday.

"We expect Russia to participate in the United Nations Security Council," Bush said he told Putin. "We'll see whether or not they agree to do that."

1. Did he promise the oil companies to talk war till we're all bankrupt?
Bush's posturings are supporting the panicky oil prices.

2. For "world", read: United States, Israel, Palau & Marshall Islands.
And I'm dubious about the last two- they've probably learned their lesson by now.

The ones that said the Iran only has a few (less than 10) pounds of enriched uranium? And that it doens't have the amount of centrifuge canisters to make a bomb?

iran.

They wouldn't. War's inevitable.

What can we do?

Apparently only watch the propaganda machine throw out this fear instilling information (implying iran could use nukes on us if we don't stop them) and make bush look like our protector who has to invade.

I bet by mid summer we are listening repukes go on and on about fear and hatred of iran - all from bushcos propaganda.

Then war. A war that will be supported by bushes base and most americans who buy into the propaganda.

the election will be thrown again to fear and who will protect us...

What can we do?

How are the Dems going to step up and stop this?

Edited on Thu Jun-01-06 02:50 PM by confludemocrat
he and his henchmen (and woman) are "on" for a mid-October 2006 attack schedule, translation: take your time and come back negative on the "offer" about late June, early July, US drags out threats and feigned attempts at "getting the world on board" until mid-September, and goes into full build-up mode after that so he can "look decisive and tough" during the run up to the election

"The White House urged Tehran to take time to consider the proposal while European officials warned against hasty reactions."

29. **Please sign this petition against military actin against Iran**

It is with grave concern that I observe the growing threat of a new U.S. war--this time against the people of Iran.

For a collection of articles and resources on this subject you can visit this link: http://reseaudesign.com/research/iran/iran_summery.html

I'm starting up a petition which I will be sending out to as many members of Congress as possible. I'm asking for help to get this signed by as many people, possible in the next month. Send it to as many people you can.

33. NPT Articles IV.1 and VI

.. Article IV.1

Nothing in this Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of all the Parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination and in conformity with Articles I and II of this Treaty ..

Article VI

Each of the Parties to the Treaty undertakes to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control ..

http://www.un.org/events/npt2005/npttreaty.html


Iran appears to be within their Article IV rights. But the New American Centurians are hot to undermine the treaty, because they hate Article VI ...
