The Iranians have done it!

Hotair at Hotair.com. Well they got that right! Talk about hysterical it's embarrassing. Bryan dribbles the following in his post Iran: 3,000 centrifuges installed:
"I guess what I’m saying is that the international community is a giant waste of time, and will soon be a ginormous waste of life. And the international community is very likely to blame it all on us when the mushroom cloud lights the sky ...bah blah blah"
Here are the facts Bryan:

Iran has had the 3000 centrifuge farm under construction for over 12 months. The IAEA has known about it all this time. Only one centrifuge has ever been found to have a level of enrichment beyond 5% and the Iranians made full explanation that they purchased it off of Dr. Khan in Pakistan as did the Libyans a decade ago.

The IAEA admits in their reports that there is NO EVIDENCE of Iranians engaging in enrichment for weapons purposes. The IAEA's major concern is and has always been about the safety of the facilities for undertaking that enrichment.

Here are some facts from the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT)
"The safeguards required by this Article shall be implemented in a manner designed to comply with Article IV of this Treaty, and to avoid hampering the economic development of the Parties"

"IV.1. Nothing in this Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of all the Parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination and in conformity with Articles I and II of this Treaty."
The State Department is on record saying:
"The United States believes noncompliance judgments ...should be made on the basis of the facts, not based upon political calculation or the mere use (or avoidance) of specific trigger words."
So, let's just stick with the facts Bryan before gratuitously wetting our pants over nothing in public.
