Iran Has Joined Nuclear Club Claims Ahmadinejad

Posted on April 11, 2006

Update to the post below. The official announcement has been made. Iran joins the nuclear club?

Iran has successfully enriched uranium for the first time, a landmark in its quest to develop nuclear fuel, hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday. He insisted, however, that his country does not aim to develop nuclear weapons.

In a nationally televised speech, Ahmadinejad called on the West “not to cause an everlasting hatred in the hearts of Iranians” by trying to force Iran to abandon uranium enrichment.

“At this historic moment, with the blessings of God almighty and the efforts made by our scientists, I declare here that the laboratory- scale nuclear fuel cycle has been completed and young scientists produced enriched uranium needed to the degree for nuclear power plants Sunday,” Ahmadinejad said.

“I formally declare that Iran has joined the club of nuclear countries,” he told an audience that included top military commanders and clerics in the northwestern holy city of Mashhad. The crowd broke into cheers of “Allahu akbar!” or “God is great!” Some stood and thrust their fists in the air.

Hey Iran! Cheer while you can, if you continue down this path, you’ll soon find you’ve got another thing coming.
I’m with Ace.

If it takes nukes to destroy Iran’s nuclear capacity, we have to do just that. The man is a messianic maniac. While the left frets that George Bush instituted a “Jesus Day” in Texas while governor, they ignore the threat of a man who belongs to a sect that believes their Messiah can only come after a period of chaos and castrophe and blood and war. And he’s one of the more fervent of that sect; he will bring back the Messiah by raining nuclear fire down on Israel and the West.
