And the editorials!
Observe!
You need to read this passage of this article first:
"The International Atomic Energy Agency’s public stance, and the main message of Mohamed ElBaradei, the director general, was to praise the new finding as proof that his agency had been right in its analysis.
The American assessment “tallies with the agency’s consistent statements over the last few years that — although Iran still needs to clarify some important aspects of its past and present nuclear activities — the agency has no concrete evidence of an ongoing nuclear weapons program or undeclared nuclear facilities in Iran,” Dr. ElBaradei said in a statement.
He said the American intelligence assessment “should help to defuse the current crisis.”
Now read the rest of the piece, and tell me it is not Zionist shit-spew!
Monitoring Agency Praises U.S. Report, but Keeps Wary Eye on Iran
PARIS, Dec. 4 — The International Atomic Energy Agency on Tuesday publicly embraced the new American intelligence assessment stating that Iran had halted its nuclear weapons effort, but in truth the agency is taking a more cautious approach in drawing conclusions about Iran’s nuclear program.
A senior official close to the agency:
“To be frank, we are more skeptical. We don’t buy the American analysis 100 percent. We are not that generous with Iran.”
So which ISRAELI did she talk to, reader?
Notice the "official" is "close to the agency."
Therefore, he DOESN'T WORK FOR THEM!!!!
The official called the American assertion that Iran had “halted” its weapons program in 2003 “somewhat surprising.”
Why? Because we BUCKED the shit NaZionists of Israel?
Puppet showed some independence?
That the nuclear watchdog agency based in Vienna is sounding a somewhat tougher line than the Bush administration is surprising, given that the administration has long criticized it for not pressuring Iran hard enough to curb its nuclear program.
Oh, this is ZIONIST PROPAGANDA, reader!
Pure, 100% ZIONIST PROPAGANDA!
But the American finding has so unsettled governments, agencies and officials dealing with Iran that it has suddenly upended commonly held assumptions.
There is relief, as one senior French official put it, that “the war option is off the table.” There is also criticism and even anger in some quarters that the American intelligence assessment may be too soft on Iran.
That's what a French Zionist said, huh?
We all know Sarkozy is a Zionist agent and Iran's Bliar!
Israel, for example, on Tuesday took a darker view of Iran’s nuclear ambitions than the American assessment, saying that it is convinced that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons and that it has probably resumed the weapons program the Americans said was stopped in autumn 2003.
Yeah, ISRAEL, "FOR EXAMPLE!" They about the only one, bitch!
But then again, they are the only ones who matter, huh, Times?
The British government said the international community should maintain pressure on Iran over its uranium enrichment efforts.
A spokesman for Prime Minister Gordon Brown told reporters:
“It confirms we were right to be worried about Iran seeking to develop nuclear weapons.
Even though they weren't doing that?
"[The American assessment had also shown that past international pressure on Iran had succeeded] in that they seem to have abandoned the weaponization element. But it also tells us the intent was there, and that the risk of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons remains a serious problem.”
Whatever, limey liar!
That, he said, justified maintaining pressure on the Tehran government to abandon efforts to enrich uranium and to reprocess spent nuclear fuel, processes that could provide fissile material for nuclear weapons.
Iran’s foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, told state-run radio that Iran welcomed the change of opinion about its nuclear program:
“Some of the same countries which had questions or ambiguities about our nuclear program are changing their views realistically."
Mohammad Ali Hosseini, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, said the report showed that American accusations about Iran’s secret weapons activities were baseless, reported ISNA, the Iranian student news agency.
Hosseini, reported by ISNA:
“This report can be good news for U.S. allies so that they would change their unreasonable policies.”
Well, those not under the control of Israel, anyway!
But the agency has been frustrated by shrinking access for its inspectors in Iran, and Dr. ElBaradei also called on Iran to “accelerate its cooperation,” adding that the new American finding “should prompt Iran to work actively with the I.A.E.A. to clarify specific aspects of its past and present nuclear program.” He urged Iran to allow more intrusive inspections of its facilities.
Inside the agency, officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity under normal diplomatic rules, said that Iran must not assume that the American report relieves it of pressure to work with the agency, and that the country must do more to prove its good will.
An anonymous Israeli, huh?
The senior official close to the agency:
“We are still worried about certain aspects of Iran’s nuclear program, and we need answers, particularly about so-called military aspects of the program.”
Yup, that ISRAELI OFFICIAL "SOURCE" again!
So she hasn't talked to anyone at the IAEA, readers, but she is passing this piece of shit journalism off as such!
Israel write this article for you, girlie?
Dr. ElBaradei’s most recent report to his agency’s 35-country board last month is less categorical in its conclusions than the American finding.
The agency acknowledged there were still “outstanding issues” regarding the scope and nature of the nuclear enrichment facility at Natanz and activities that could have military applications, Dr. ElBaradei said.
I am sick of the fucking Zionist propaganda, readers!
The New York Times is nothing but a Zionist shit-sucker!
The American analysis twice describes the Natanz enrichment program as civilian, and omits the administration’s oft-cited analysis that there is no logical application for enriched uranium other than eventual military use. Referring to the finding’s characterization of uranium enrichment, the official allied with the international agency said, “We wouldn’t go that far.”
That's the ISRAELI again! Only ONE SOURCE for this article, Elaine?
The official also refused to rule out the possibility that Iran might have involving centrifuges — the machines that spin enriched uranium — that it programshad not disclosed to the agency.
Oh, like YOURS, ISRAELI?
How Israel Got the Nuclear Bomb
I'm tired of this Zionist diarrhea passing as "news," readers!
The agency plans to use the new assessment’s revelation that Iran had a nuclear weapons program in the past to pry more information out of it about its suspicious past activities.
The official: “If they had a weapons program, they better tell us now. We need to know where they ended up with their program before they terminated it.”
Sigh! What a piece of ZIONIST PROPAGANDA, huh, readers?
TOTAL SHIT!!!
Ready for round two? You need to read the excerpt first:
"All of this raises the question: When is a nuclear program a nuclear weapons program?
After the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain became the first three countries with atom bombs, all the rest hid their military programs to one extent or another behind the mask of peaceful nuclear power. That includes France, China, Israel, India, South Africa and Pakistan."
And that is the last you will here about that!
The rest is a bash job on Iran (penned by Israel):
The Thin Line Between Civilian and Military Nuclear Programs
"For years, American intelligence agencies contended that Iran had a clandestine nuclear weapons program. But even as Tehran continues to enrich uranium, which could fuel a bomb, the agencies have reversed themselves, saying the Iranians halted their weapons program in 2003.
The open secret of the nuclear age is that the line between civilian and military programs is extraordinarily thin. That is why the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna has teams of inspectors constantly sweeping through nuclear centers around the globe, looking for cheaters.
But thin as it may be, there is a line.
One threshold is enriched uranium. Enriched to low levels, uranium can fuel a reactor that produces electrical power — which is what Tehran says it wants to do. But if uranium is purified in spinning centrifuges long enough, and becomes highly enriched, it can fuel an atom bomb.
Another boundary between civilian and military programs is weapons design. Designing a nuclear weapon involves sophisticated mathematical and engineering work to figure out how to squeeze the bomb fuel in a way that creates the nuclear blast.
The new intelligence assessment released Monday, which is known as a National Intelligence Estimate, drew a distinction between Iran’s “declared civil work” on uranium enrichment and “nuclear weapon design and weaponization work.” The document states “with high confidence” that Iran is now hewing to the civilian side of the line.
The history of the atomic age, however, suggests that for a country with an advanced civil nuclear program, crossing the line into bomb work is relatively easy.
Indeed, the most difficult part of building a bomb is not doing the secret military design work but rather the part of the process that is also crucial to civilian nuclear power — producing the fuel.
History illustrates the point. During World War II, scientists working secretly at Los Alamos in the mountains of New Mexico were so sure of the reliability of their simple design that they gave it no explosive test before the bomb was made and dropped on Hiroshima. It worked to devastating effect.
But making the bomb’s highly enriched fuel required a vast industrial effort clouded by great uncertainty. In a race, three huge factories were built in the Tennessee wilds, each pursuing a different way of enriching uranium. One had literally millions of miles of pipes.
Translation: Nuclear programs can't be carried out covertly (as we found out in Iraq)!
Requires INDUSTRIAL INFRASTRUCTURE that can be MONITORED!
Sick of the Zionist propaganda yet, readers?
In the end, no technique worked well enough to be relied upon exclusively. So engineers blended the outputs. “All three methods contributed to Hiroshima,” said Robert S. Norris, author of “Racing for the Bomb” (Steerforth, 2002), a biography of the project’s military chief.
That history cast light on the question of whether Iran’s enrichment work today could represent a future military threat.
The new American intelligence assessment says Iran is “continuing to develop a range of technical capabilities that could be applied to producing nuclear weapons,” including “its civilian uranium enrichment program.”
And the enrichment effort, the assessment says, could give Iran enough fuel for a weapon sometime between 2010 and 2015 — a timetable essentially unchanged from previous estimates.
The report also disclosed that American agencies have accumulated a “growing amount of intelligence” showing that Iran engaged in covert uranium enrichment, adding that it “probably” was halted after 2003 and “probably” has remained frozen through the middle of this year.
For some, that uncertainty undercuts the assessment’s “high confidence” that Iran ended its weapons program in 2003 and will continue to stay on the peaceful side of the line.
“The danger,” President Bush said at the White House on Tuesday, “is that they can enrich, play like they got a civilian program — or have a civilian program, or claim it’s a civilian program — and pass the knowledge to a covert military program.”
A senior federal specialist with long experience in nuclear proliferation said it was quite possible that Iran made so much progress in 18 years of secret work that the halt in 2003 might have little practical effect in restricting it from getting a weapon. That is, if Tehran wants one, and if it can keep working openly to produce fuel.
But the intelligence agencies steered clear of assessing Tehran’s intentions, saying, “We do not know whether it currently intends to develop nuclear weapons.”
Is that a piece of Zionist propaganda, or what?!
The whole tone of the article is IRAN IS HIDING SOMETHING -- or COULD BE!
Well, FUCK OFF, New York Times!
Because ISRAEL MUST WRITE your stink editorials, too!
Wait until you get a load of this, readers:
Editorial: Good and Bad News About Iran
"Good and Bad News About Iran
There is a lot of good news in the latest intelligence assessment about Iran. Tehran, we are now told, halted its secret nuclear weapons program in 2003, which means that President Bush has absolutely no excuse for going to war against Iran. We are also relieved that the intelligence community is now willing to question its own assumptions and challenge the White House’s fevered rhetoric. The president and his aides are apparently too worried about getting caught again shaving intelligence to stop that.
But there’s also a lot of worrisome news in there that must not be overlooked.
First, the report says “with high confidence” that Iran did have a secret nuclear weapons program and that it stopped only after it got caught and was threatened with international punishment. Even now, Tehran’s scientists are working to master the skills to make nuclear fuel — the hardest part of building a weapon.
Which is their LEGAL RIGHT because they SIGNED the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty -- something ISRAEL HAS NOT DONE!
So, FUCK OFF, Times!
Anyone who wants to give the Iranians the full benefit of the doubt should read the last four years of reports from United Nations’ nuclear inspectors about Iran’s 18-year history of hiding and dissembling. Or last month’s report, which criticized Tehran for providing “diminishing” information and access to its current program. In one of those ironies that would be delicious if it didn’t involve nuclear weapons, an official close to the inspection agency told The Times yesterday that the new American assessment might be too generous to Iran.
Oh my God!
The Times is using the shit article above by Elaine Sciolino to justify this Zionist diarrhea drivel!
Yup, ISRAEL WRITES the New York Times' editorials all right!
And the Times are a bunch of ARROGANT ASSHOLES, too!
Unfortunately, this report — preceded by months of White House saber rattling — is going to make it harder to keep up the international pressure on Iran to curtail its fuel program and cooperate fully with inspectors, the only way to ensure that it doesn’t get back into the secret weapons business.
So the Times ed staff are Israeli cock-suckers!
"Unfortunately?"
Unfortunate that a DRIVE to WAR was HALTED for a moment?
The New York Times is a ZIONIST WAR-PROMOTER, folks!
After Iraq and Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib, it is hard to imagine that this administration could do any more damage to this country’s credibility. Then it does.
Never mind the damage our slavishness for Israel brings!
Less than two months ago, Mr. Bush was warning that Iran’s nuclear ambitions could unleash World War III. Yesterday, the president insisted that he found out about the new assessment only last week. He also said that his top intelligence adviser told him in August that analysts were looking at “new information.” We know that the president is an incurious man, but given all his fears about Iran, and those missing weapons in Iraq, it’s hard to fathom why he wouldn’t have asked for a preview.
Yeah, whatever Times! Not when the guy has already made up his mind!
We all know that you suck and swallow for George Bush.
The new report is not an argument for anyone to let down their guard when it comes to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. What it does say is that some combination of intensified pressures and opportunities might — “if perceived by Iran’s leaders as credible” — prompt Tehran to “extend the current halt to its nuclear weapons program.”
Yesterday, Mr. Bush insisted that he believes in a carrot-and-stick approach. But he has yet to make a serious offer of comprehensive talks and real rewards if Iran is willing to give up its fuel program and cooperate fully with inspectors. He is going to have to send someone a lot higher ranking than the American ambassador in Baghdad to deliver the message. We suggest Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for the job.
Look at this false and disingenuous criticism! The Times is worse than Bush!
At least Bush sticks with his lies! These fuckers act like they never did anything!
YOU are LYING FOR HIM in your news pages, assholes!
And the Times shows it's complete lack of judgment by suggesting Bush send the bubble-headed War Princess on a negotiating mission.
NO CREDIBILITY, Times!
That's what you are left with when I look at you!
We don’t know if the Iranians will find any offer credible, or if they even want to. It is the least Mr. Bush can do to try to salvage his credibility with the American people and America’s allies."
Like the shit Times cares about the American people!
And we ALL KNOW WHAT "ALLY" they mean!
The one that WROTE THESE ARTICLES and EDITORIALS for the New York Times -- ISRAEL!!!!
Oh, yeah, one more thing.
The U.S. is a FUCKING HYPOCRITE, too!!!
Plan to Build Reactors Is Running Into Hurdles
"For the first time in three decades, companies are getting ready to build nuclear reactors in the United States."
Pffffffftttttttt!
