Iran Samples Show Enriched Uranium - Diplomats
By REUTERS Filed at 10:12 a.m. ET

VIENNA (Reuters) - U.N. inspectors have found enriched uranium in environmental samples taken in Iran, which could mean Tehran has been purifying uranium without informing the U.N. nuclear watchdog, diplomats said. The diplomats, who asked not to be named, said initial analysis showed enrichment levels possibly consistent with an attempt to make weapons-grade material and high enough to cause concern at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). If Iran, dubbed part of an ``axis of evil'' by Washington, has been enriching uranium without telling the IAEA, this would deepen U.S. suspicions that its nuclear ambitions go beyond its stated aim of using nuclear energy only to generate electricity. However, the diplomats said the mere presence of enriched uranium in the samples was not solid proof Iran had done the enrichment itself. Contamination was another possibility, though how it had arisen would have to be explained to the IAEA. <snip>

``At this point, we are still in the middle of a complex inspection process in Iran, in which we are investigating a number of unresolved issues,'' she added.<snip>

It was not clear at which of Iran's nuclear facilities the samples had been taken, nor was it clear whether the IAEA had informed the Iranian government of its initial findings.....But diplomats say it makes no sense for Iran to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build big uranium enrichment facilities in Natanz without having tested their centrifuges.<snip>

The IAEA is expected to report on the results of its most recent inspections in Iran when the board meets on September 8.

1. USmarines will help IAEA collect more samples in Iran

Syria has reportedly (British source-not for confirmation)
recieved enriched uranium from Iran.
They paid for the enriched Uranium w/ cocaine/
heroin profits recieved from their FARC allies in the
Andean Region.

IraN,, IraQ, hey, only one letter difference!

We were close! /// sacarsm off///

If having enriched uranium around is a valid reason to invade and take over another country, when can we expect some army to liberate us here in the USA?

3. If this is true....

That pretty much proves inspections work, doesn't it?

1. We invade IraQ, find nothing.

2. UN inspectors search in IraN, find nuclear materials.

I'll take option #2, please...

Option #2 is also more viable because none of our troops died in the execution of Option #2. :eyes:

4. Another vote for option two :-)

So the question is why the US Media does not question the competence of these folks in the White House?
