Im-A-Nut-Job, err....Ahmadinejad Announces Plans for 60,000 New Centrifuges!
Tick, Tick ,Tick......
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahamdinejad announced that Iran would start installing thousands of uranium-enriching centrifuges by early next year:
Despite the threat of UN sanctions over Tehran's refusal to hold back its nuclear programme, Ahmadinejad said that the long-term target of Iran should be to install 60,000 centrifuges to enrich uranium.
Iran has said it is looking to install 3,000 centrifuges by March 2007, in itself a massive step from the two cascades of 164 centrifuges apiece it has currently at its Natanz plant to enrich uranium on a research scale.
"We want to produce nuclear fuel and eventually we should go for 60,000 centrifuges. We should continue along this path. We are at the beginning of the wave," Ahmadinejad told a news conference Tuesday.
Experts say that 50,000 centrifuges would normally be sufficient to produce 20 kilos (44 pounds) of weapons grade uranium in under a month, but Iran vehemently denies it wants the bomb.
Also, today International Atomic Energy Officials announced that they found traces of unexplained plutonium and highly enriched uranium at a nuclear waste facility in Iran. The IAEA also said it could not confirm Iranian claims that its nuclear activities were exclusively nonmilitary unless Tehran increased its openness.(Via LGF)
Ahmadinejad also said that Iran is ready to talk with the US once it changes it's attitudes.

Hello Senor Gringo,
Actually, Ahmandinejad has announced that Iran's nuclear cycle is pretty much complete and that Iran is only 3 months away from completing it.
J O S H U A P U N D I T: Ahmadinejad: Iran 's nuclear program 3 months from completion
There's actually a secret `mirror' site of Natanz that the Russians are building for Ahmadinejad at Neyshabor that's where the advanced work is realy taking place and will have the capacity to churn out material for 15-20 nukes per year.
I seem to remember a certain president saying that he would never allow a nuclear Iran on his watch.
I don't blame the mullahs..they're doing what jihadis do. But at this point, the Iranian clandestine nukes program has been PUBLIC knowledge for over 4 years..and there's no telling when Bush was aware of it.
Credit where credit is due...

You've got to watch Exposed tonight if you can, Joe!
