If only we had sent cluster bombs
Once again the US is squawking in protest about the misuse of technology sent to erstwhile allies. This time the technology in question is the nuclear reactor given to the Shah of Iran by US!
Thanks guys.
In the heart of Tehran sits one of Iran's most important nuclear facilities, a dome-shaped building where scientists have conducted secret experiments that could help the country build atomic bombs. It was provided to the Iranians by the United States.So Iran can make a bomb but no one has yet shown why we should be any more worried about Iran than say, Pakistan or India or even Israel. Perhaps we would know better if Big Dick and TurdBlossom has not blown the cover of our CIA agent, and her network, working on just that problem.
The Tehran Research Reactor represents a little-known aspect of the international uproar over the country's alleged weapons program. Not only did the U.S. provide the reactor in the 1960s as part of a Cold War strategy, America also supplied the weapons-grade uranium needed to power the facility--fuel that remains in Iran and could be used to help make nuclear arms.
As the U.S. and other countries wrestle with Iran's refusal this week to curb its nuclear capabilities, an examination of the Tehran facility sheds light on the degree to which the United States has been complicit in Iran developing those capabilities.
Though the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations nuclear watchdog, has found no proof Iran is building a bomb, the agency says the country has repeatedly concealed its nuclear activities from inspectors. And some of these activities have taken place in the U.S.-supplied reactor, IAEA records show, including experiments with uranium, a key material in the production of nuclear weapons.
Thanks guys.
