The IAEA Springs Into Action, Relaxes About Iran

[Wyatt_Junker]

VIENNA (Reuters) - Talk of staging a special U.N. nuclear watchdog meeting to pile pressure on Iran has abated because of its moderate response to new U.N. sanctions and a wish to avoid damaging strife within the agency, diplomats say.

The International Atomic Energy Agency is reassessing dozens of technical aid projects in Iran to see if any violate a December 23 U.N. Security Council resolution imposing penalties on Tehran over fears it is secretly trying to build atom bombs.

Some Western powers leading efforts to curb Iran’s program to enrich uranium for nuclear fuel originally felt the review would warrant an emergency session of the IAEA’s 35-nation governing board to vote on cutting the aid packages.

But sentiment for a snap meeting in January, two months ahead of the next scheduled session, subsided when it became clear this could wreck the board’s cohesion and Iran was reacting cautiously to the resolution following election losses by nuclear hardliners to moderates counseling restraint.

El Baradei apparently didn't notice the obvious. Check links below.

Iran Will Install 3000 centrifuges immediately. (http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=23768&only)

Iran: Threaten us and we'll nuke you. (http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=23891_Iran-_Threaten_Us_and_Well_Nuke_You&only)

I think this kind of sums it up.

So as long as Iran talks nicey nice, she can go ahead and build the nukes that will take out Europe.

If she doesn't talk nicey nice, the UN will duly work its way thru 17 resolutions condemning Iran, which will go ahead and build the nukes that will take out Europe.

Let them get the bomb, let them use it, then let them use it again. Because it will take 2 atomic explosions over 2 western cities before people will realize what thay have been dealing with all along. Once that happens the blood bath will begin. Sanctions could have never stopped it, it progressed to quickly, because like in your 800 lb gorilla pic. no one wanted to pay attention. So, here we are.
