I'm just a shot .. then we can die.

Ooohahhhhh

I know I won't be leaving here with you ...

Iran seeking Uranium from Congo - timed release.

From Rupert Murdoch's Australian newspaper August 7, 2006 comes this well timed release of a story sourced to "Correspondents in London".
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20041081-601,00.html

"IRAN is seeking to import large consignments of uranium from the African mining area that produced the Hiroshima bomb, an investigation has revealed.

A UN report, dated July 18, [2006] said there was "no doubt" a huge shipment of smuggled uranium 238, uncovered by Tanzanian customs officials, was moved from the Lubumbashi mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Tanzanian customs officials said it was destined for the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas, and was stopped on October 22 last year during a routine check.

The disclosure will heighten Western fears about Iran's presumed nuclear weapons program and the strategic implications of Iran's support for Hezbollah in Israel's assault on Lebanon

...The customs officer said: "The container was put in a secure part of the port and it was later taken away by the Americans, I think, or at least with their help. We have all been told not to talk to anyone about this"....".more

Comment

Why the information (on events which occurred in October 2005..."We have all been told not to talk to anyone about this...") was kept secret, until now, from the international media, is a mystery.

Perhaps US intelligence saw operational reasons to keep the find secret.

Or perhaps the release was timed to maximize pressure on Iran. However the UN is not supposed to be into timed release of information.

Does anyone still doubt that US/Israel have a broad strategy ie.
- linking Iran's "aggression" in supplying rockets to Hezbollah last month with
- this month's ( Congo) news again highlighting Iran as an emerging nuclear rogue state?

Isreal's plan to bring in a UN force is also in train - for "peacekeeping" but really (I think) as a buffer force (at no cost to Israel) to secure Israeli gains . When this force fails to stop Hezbollah activities Bush can blame the "UN Europeans" for the whole Lebanon failure and justify tougher measures...bombing.

I may be sounding like a broken record, but its happening.

In domestic political terms one well timed scare after another keeps the public apprehensive and wins (midterm) elections for the party in power.

In realpolitik(al) terms Iran's nuclear weapons effort is cause for genuine international concern - naturally for Israel.

Indded that is an interesting occurence planetagent.

I can only take comfort in the fact that history will judge Rupert Murdoch and his oppurtunistic immoral lackeys and editors personally responsible for the deaths of thousands, if not millions (if this war escalates dramaticlly, which it may).

They are as equally culpable as Bush, Olmert and the rest.

The revolution will not be televised, nor will it be published in tabloid newspapers. But when it comes, Murdoch and co. will be held to account.

Being an Australian Muslim, I have to refute your comments:

"Who blows up in the name of allah?"
Let me tell you that those that claim to blow up in the name of Allah are in fact committing criminal acts. There's a line in the Quran which states that if you kill one person it is as though you have killed the whole of humanity.

"who slits the throats reading kuran?"
Let me reiterate once again that those who claim they kill in the name of Islam are criminals who utilise and abuse the Quran to suit their own political agendas.

Those who proport to justify murder do not speak for Islam or Muslims, their actions are criminal, pure and simple.

The "SUPER DEVIL" you speak of is in fact : The Arab Other, a figure that has come to represent despotism, tyranny. It is " a figure of fear that is created in the national imagination".

Have a look at 'Bin Laden in the Suburbs', by Scott Poynting, Greg Noble, Paul Tabar and Jock Collins and you will understand what I mean.

I know it is terrible for those involved but what is worrying me is where this current ‘spat’ in the Middle East is leading us to. It is a ‘spat’ only relative to what appears to be ahead.
The fundamentalists on both sides need their heads knocked together by the moderates of this world and told to sort it out as besides being a grave danger to global peace, it is becoming a pain in the backside.
I see many people disinterested in politics, in what is happening in the world; probably because they see spin and propaganda for what it is.
I wonder if they ever think what their two year son, grandson, and a son yet to be conceived could be doing in twenty years time.
As this ‘spat’ widens, there is every chance he will be killing or getting killed on behalf of these bloody fundamentalists.

Surely it is time to marginalise those on both sides not prepared work out a solution by moderate people engaging politically.
In Australia, we need to tell both Howard and Beasley that we do not want our children fighting this war in twenty years time, that we expect they pay more than lip service to solving the problem, that we are fed up with spin and propaganda.
