Arms-Grade Uranium Reported at Iran Plant.

VIENNA, Austria - U.N. inspectors have found traces of highly enriched, weapons-grade uranium at an Iranian nuclear facility, a senior diplomat said Tuesday, citing a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The find heightened concerns that Tehran may be running a secret nuclear weapons program.

Gee! Ya think?

It’s utterly maddening how the press does this absurd “even-handed” thing, giving the Iranians the benefit of the doubt. The Iranians have said outright that they intend to obtain nuclear weapons—and use them!—on many occasions. But Western media continues to play this bizarre game of being “concerned” that they “may” be running a secret nuke program. It’s not a secret, you morons!

And the Iranians continue to put up the flimsiest of excuses, knowing that nothing more is required to buy time from the clueless media and the complicit United Nations.

Iran has denied the allegations, insisting its programs are devoted only to generating electricity.

Iranian officials did not contest the finding by the IAEA inspectors but said the equipment was already contaminated by traces of enriched uranium when purchased by Tehran.

The bassoon is one of my favorite instruments. It has the medieval aroma -- like the days when everything used to sound like that. Some people crave baseball -- I find this unfathomable -- but I can easily understand why a person could get excited about playing a bassoon.
