Iran reportedly building nuclear weapons
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=d1c942cfc27006ea

As President George W. Bush returns to Washington from his Asian tour, he will be confronted with newly released information that Iran is building nuclear-warhead capable missiles with help from North Korean experts in a vast underground complex near Tehran.

The project, initiated at the end of the Iran-Iraq war in 1989, involves dozens of immense tunnels and facilities built under the mountains near Tehran, Iranian opposition sources reported Monday. The information was first released in September, but the involvement of North Korean experts, and the report that Iran's missile production has reached an advanced stage, brings a new twist to Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.

In his 2002 State of the Union address Bush named Iran and North Korea in his "Axis of Evil." The third member of the axis was Iraq.

"North Korean experts have cooperated with the Tehran regime in the design and building of this complex," said Alireza Jafarzadeh, president of Strategic Policy Consulting, and a former representative of the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq. "Many blueprints of the site have been prepared by North Korean experts."

2. Mr. President,Curveball is on the phone. He wants to talk to you, again.
Mr. Ledeen's call is also waiting. He's asking, would you like to buy a nice, used resistance resistance movement? Only a few miles on it. Like new. Came in just yesterday from Ghorbanifar.:eyes:

5. Seems like the script for a remake of Thunderball
or Billion Dollar Brain.

Next, they'll tell us that the Chinese are digging tunnels through the center of the earth so they can sneak attack with underground atomic bombs! Wait a minute, they made that one, didn't they?

4. Okay, here's a question...
... why this headline, when the article is exclusively about building missiles?

There's not one single mention if the IAEA has visited these sites and if there's any nuclear activity going on in these locations.

Now, next question: anyone notice that the source for the information is an MEK representative? Would that suggest some bias?

Has there been some evidence of the CIA working with MEK in the last few months? Oh, yes, there is.

Remember this--we don't have a mess until Bush makes one. :)

Cheers.
