 ST>> In January 2004 the Iranian Defense minister stated their goal
PS>>you writing that means nothing, you do nothing but write lies, you
PS>>have a track record of doing that.

 ST> You didn't read any one of those articles did you?  If you had,
 ST> you wouldn' have posted what you wrote.  Nope, you just clicked
 ST> reply and posted your little comment below.  You are the
 ST> definition of ignorance.
yes, I read them, most of it refered to missiles that might be capable
of carrying nuclear war heads.;

PS>>4 or 5 months ago the estimate of the IISS and CIA, it would be at
PS>>least 10 years before Iran might be in a position of being able to
PS>>build nuclear weapons, that is assumming Isreal does not attack thier

 ST> The report you read was dated in '2000', they are ahead of
 ST> schedule.  AND - you aren't taking into consideration the
 ST> possibility they could have purchased enriched uranium from the
 ST> grey market.

The report was issued in September 2005, *not* 2000.

ST>January 7th, LAST year:
ST>Iran General Claims Nuclear Capability
ST>January 7, 2005 :: Geostrategy-Direct :: News

ST>One of Iran’s generals stated on December 28 that Iran has nuclear
ST>capability
ST>and threatened to use them against the United States if it is attacked,
ST>according to a news report by Geostrategy-Direct.
ST>        General Qassem Shabani said during a speech at Qom University, that
ST>“At
ST>present we have manufactured some weapons and acquired nuclear
ST>capabilities…In
ST>the event of war against America, we must resort to asymmetrical battles.ö

there is no evidence that Iraq has nuclear weapons.

ST>How about this one from November;

 ST> Russians Said to Proliferate Stolen German Missile Tech to Syria,
 ST> Iran November 5, 2005 :: AFP :: News The German news magazine
 ST> “Focusö reports on November 5 that the Berlin government has
 ST> warned German defense industry that certain Russian criminal have
 ST> been transferring German technology to Iran and Syria.
 ST> Apparently, high-quality technology, which is sold to Russian
 ST> companies in good faith, goes directly to Iranian or Syrian
 ST> missile workshops. Using Moscow as a hub, the Tehran regime, in
 ST> particular, is increasingly purchasing German top products for
 ST> the expansion of its arsenals of weapons of mass destruction.
 ST> Measuring devices, as well as drive and control systems for the
 ST> so-called Shahab-3 programme, are mostly made in Germany: the new
 ST> missile, which is to be equipped with nuclear warheads, with an
 ST> envisaged range of 3,500 km, could hit also European targets
 ST> precisely. The present “early warning letterö to the German
 ST> industry, which is based mainly on information from the Federal
 ST> Intelligence Service [Bundesnachrichtendienst], mentions 15
 ST> companies in Moscow, St Petersburg, and Samara that are regarde
 ST> as procurers for Iranian arms manufacturers. An institute at
 ST> Moscow Technical University is also among the addresses that are
 ST> used as cover. Syria, also served via Russia, needs the German
 ST> technology for its old Scud missiles, which are primarily aimed
 ST> at Israel. At present, there is a high demand for systems to
 ST> improve target accuracy.

all to do with *missile* technology.

ST>Assuming you've read this far -- you need to go out to the net, newspapers,
ST>publications and actually do some reading.

Of publications that are not extremely biased against Iran, or pro
Israel.
Ben there, done that.

ST>Simply wanting Iran to not have nuclear weapons doesn't make it so.

Next you will be telling us the Iran already has nuclear weapons
(contrary to what *every* report says)

ST>Or -- perhaps that doesn't bother you.
That it will be at least 10 years, at the current raqte, before Iran
may have a nuclear weapon bothers me a whole lot less that Israel
cunnrently have hundreds of nuclear weapons.
