Via Betsy. And I would strongly urge readers to put on their thinking caps here. The headlines might be incredible but they cannot be the whole story. Think about it. I'm not saying the story isn't real. But this breaks one day before the IAEA meets on Iran?
Someone somewhere just made a pile of CIA cash, or is looking to eventually play a role in a new Iran regime, folks. It is very difficult to believe that something like this just happens for no reason. It is likely as much a sign of a crack in the regime as it is anything else. And that is very good news.
Could it be that some top level Iranian gov types have decided to throw Ahmadinejad overboard? Did some cleric or more likely academic make a deal to spill the goods, probably because they also want change? I'd bet my sweet bippy on it. That, and more than a few people in Iran are looking long and hard over their shoulders today and insisting it wasn't them. The games afoot.
Iran's top negotiator about their nuclear program has spilled the yellowcake about how they deliberately strung along the Europeans in negotiations all the while expanding their development of their nuclear program.
In a speech to a closed meeting of leading Islamic clerics and academics, Hassan Rowhani, who headed talks with the so-called EU3 until last year, revealed how Teheran played for time and tried to dupe the West after its secret nuclear programme was uncovered by the Iranian opposition in 2002.
He boasted that while talks were taking place in Teheran, Iran was able to complete the installation of equipment for conversion of yellowcake - a key stage in the nuclear fuel process - at its Isfahan plant but at the same time convince European diplomats that nothing was afoot.
"From the outset, the Americans kept telling the Europeans, 'The Iranians are lying and deceiving you and they have not told you everything.' The Europeans used to respond, 'We trust them'," he said.
Revelation of Mr Rowhani's remarks comes at an awkward moment for the Iranian government, ahead of a meeting tomorrow of the United Nations' atomic watchdog, which must make a fresh assessment of Iran's banned nuclear operations.
It's been a long time since I've heard the use of "My sweet bippiy" But I know what you mean. Pastor John Hagee has a new book out entitled "Jerusalem Countdown" (www.jhm.org) In it he talks about Iran and their Nuclear weapons. Interestingly he was in the process of writeing this book a year in advance of Iran Promoting it's nuclear weapons' program. Makes for a very interesting read."

We know Irans' election was rigged. The Iranian people like and want to play with us -the west.
