They shout "Death To America" when approving the budget request for the Helium Fund or whatever. You'll have to do better than this alarmist bullshit for evidence. Understand the concept, Chrostas? That means "observed, testable fact", not inference based on an Appeal to Emotion.
Cooper, a US State Department spokesman, declared:
'Although Iran has repeatedly asserted that its nuclear program is exclusively for peaceful purposes and its pursuit of uranium enrichment technologies are to fuel a planned civilian power program, Iran will have no peaceful use for enriched uranium for many, many years... The rush to convert 37 tons of yellowcake into feed-stock for centrifuge enrichment has no peaceful justification. ...Thirty-seven tons of yellowcake is not a test. It is a production run.'
And Mr. Cooper's supporting evidence for this assertion is... ?
BTW, it's funny how you ignore the caveat appearing in the
Asia Times article you yourself cited:
Linky
Asia Times wrote:Highly informed Iranian experts canvassed by Asia Times Online say that contrary to some Western and Israeli science and intelligence sources that put Iran two to five years from the atomic bomb, it would take the country about 10 years to make its first nuclear weapon. "To produce an atomic bomb, one needs more than 64,000 modern centrifuges running together with much other equipment 24 hours a day, but to our knowledge, Iran has but 164 pilot centrifuges," one expert said, speaking on condition of not being named.
—as well as the fact that developments in the past several months have rendered certain items of the October 2003 PINR article moot.
Yeh, I'm just making this shit up. Especialy the part about death to America.
Appeal to Emotion Fallacy, again.
They don't REALY want nuclear weapons, they just want electricity.
Until you can present evidence to the contrary, you can engage in all the speculation you like as long as you understand that as a standard for proof, speculation counts for exactly
dick.
The bitch of this is, I can not with the limited time I have, locate sources I have been reading for years, forming a history with continuity. I have already come across 7 "web page no longer here" messages from Yahoo news, and other ephemeral news sources.
Which means you cannot support your case. Thought so.
So what's the deal Deagan, do YOU NOT believe Iran wants nuclear weapons? Or is this just asking me for proof as an internet debait?
No, it's expecting that you can actually substantiate the assertions you make in a discussion thread with something other than Begging The Question Fallacies and Appeals To Emotion Fallacies.
Just how WOULD I "prove" what is going on in the heads of people in a country halfway around the world. Especialy ones whos primary language most westerners speak?
What's going on in their heads is irrelevant. Intelligence as to their activities and capabilities is what a proof would be based upon.
The Arabs states and stastesmen are well known for saying what the west wants to hear in English, and the truth is their own language.
What a lovely, ignorant Non-Sequitor —there is a difference between Arabs and Iranians, as even the Iranians would point out.
How do I know what is in their heads? The history of their past actions! That's the ONLY way besides to telepathy to know what is in someones mind.
Yet another Begging the Question Fallacy. Come back when you've got something resembling a demonstrable item of proof to back your assertions.
