Guardian vs. Guardians
The UK Guardian pushes the new line on Iran. The mullahs don’t really mean it, it’s all Israel’s fault:
Iran’s efforts to produce highly enriched uranium, the material used to make nuclear bombs, are in chaos and the country is still years from mastering the required technology.
…Despite Iran being presented as an urgent threat to nuclear non-proliferation and regional and world peace – in particular by an increasingly bellicose Israel and its closest ally, the US – a number of Western diplomats and technical experts close to the Iranian programme have told The Observer it is archaic, prone to breakdown and lacks the materials for industrial-scale production.
The disclosures come as Iran has told the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA], that it plans to install a new ‘cascade’ of 3,000 high-speed centrifuges at its controversial underground facility at Natanz in central Iran next month.
The centrifuges were supposed to have been installed almost a year ago and many experts are extremely doubtful that Iran has yet mastered the skills to install and run it. Instead, they argue, the ‘installation’ will more probably be about propaganda than reality.
… Yet some involved in the increasingly aggressive standoff over Iran fear tensions will reach snapping point between March and June this year, with a likely scenario being Israeli air strikes on symbolic Iranian nuclear plants.
The sense of imminent crisis has been driven by statements from Israel, not least from Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who has insisted that 2007 is make-or-break time over Iran’s nuclear programme.
Therefore we should ignore these silly mullahs and let them have their fun. Oddly no mention of U.S. alarmism or the greater likelihood of American air strikes on actual Iranian WMD sites. As reviled as the Bushomericans are, it works better when you make it all about the Jews. Here’s the rest of this call to inaction.
Somebody needs to explain to the Guardian that we are already at war with Iran … and that includes Britain, our ally and fellow occupier of Iraq. And as Don Sensing and his pal, some kraut named Clausewitz, are putting it, “Killing is Part of War.”

“As reviled as the Bushomericans are, it works better when you make it all about the Jews.”
Oh Gosh, the above is an invitation to the “neo-com” poster who shall remain nameless, to rant. I figure, oh say within the hour.
So, there remains the possibility that the turbaned ones are still trying to grasp the black wire, goes to the black wire and the white wire goes to the white wire, thingy so to speak, huh?

[...] Or, as Crittendon so aptly puts it, a “call to inaction.” Antiwar, anti-Western propogandists are gearing up for their next “let’s all lay down and spread ‘em for our enemies” campaign: Iran’s efforts to produce highly enriched uranium, the material used to make nuclear bombs, are in chaos and the country is still years from mastering the required technology.

An experiment in progress. Some of these are Bill’s Bites posts, some of them are things I excerpted and linked but I’m sending you to the original post. If this works out I’ll start doing it every day. Flying Imams:
