Iran president vows no retreat on nukes

military action is the number one choice by the American public out of diplomatic, economic, and military action. The sheeple continue on. They don't even notice how bad the war in Iraq has effected their wallet yet. Maybe our American counterparts deserve what they are asking for. We have a lot of work to do.

Quote from the article:

"In whichever negotiation we take part ... it is unequivocally with the view to the realization of Iran's nuclear right and the Iranian nation would not retreat one iota from its rights,"

The Iranian nation would not retreat one iota from its rights....

Seems to me that Iran might be doing a better job than we have in regards to protecting our rights from our own government.

It's such a shame that our government insists on sticking its nose in the business of other countries, especially at times like the current when we have more than enough problems within our own borders.

It conflates nukes with nuclear energy...
Talk about propoganda...

One possible reason for the Iraq-Iran issues are here

you are right, we will see oil jump from 125.00 a barrel to at least $200.00- $300.00 a barrel in less than a 24 hour time frame.

There is a report on whatreallyhappened.com that Isreals' attack is iminent.

is turn off the oil. then we're SOL.

so sad and so wrong. I have not been religious for many years but if there is a creator I pray. In the name of all that is good, show us the way to stop the evil that has enslaved this beautiful world. Enlighten us so we may connect with our brothers and sisters of the human race and live in harmony. Peace Patriots

America Is Already Committing Acts of War Against Iran: Scott Ritter's New
Article

Posted by Stephen Fox, Managing Editor Santa Fe Sun News

USA taxpayer dollars are funding activities that result in Iranians being
killed and wounded and Iranian property destroyed -- acts of war.

The war between the United States and Iran is on. American taxpayer dollars
are being used, with the permission of Congress, to fund activities that
result in Iranians being killed and wounded, and Iranian property destroyed.
This wanton violation of a nation's sovereignty would not be tolerated if
the tables were turned and Americans were being subjected to Iranian-funded
covert actions that took the lives of Americans, on American soil, and
destroyed American property and livelihood. Many Americans remain unaware of
what is transpiring abroad in their name.

Many of those who are cognizant of these activities are supportive of them,
an outgrowth of misguided sentiment which holds Iran accountable for a list
of grievances used by the U.S. government to justify the ongoing global war
on terror. Iran, we are told, is not just a nation pursuing nuclear weapons,
but is the largest state sponsor of terror in the world today.

Much of the information behind this is being promulgated by Israel, which
has a vested interest in seeing Iran neutralized as a potential threat. But
Israel is joined by another source, even more puzzling in terms of its broad-
based acceptance in the world of American journalism: the Mujahadeen-e
Khalk, or MEK, an Iranian opposition group sworn to overthrow the theocracy
in Tehran. The CIA today provides material support to the actions of the MEK
inside Iran. The recent spate of explosions in Iran, including a
particularly devastating "accident" involving a military convoy transporting
ammunition in downtown Tehran, appears to be linked to an MEK operation; its
agents working inside munitions manufacturing plants deliberately are
committing acts of sabotage which lead to such explosions. If CIA money and
planning support are behind these actions, the agency's backing constitutes
nothing less than an act of war on the part of the United States against
Iran.

The MEK traces its roots back to the CIA-orchestrated overthrow of the
democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeg. Formed among
students and intellectuals, the MEK emerged in the 1960s as a serious threat
to the reign of Reza Shah Pahlevi. Facing brutal repression from the Shah's
secret police, the SAVAK, the MEK became expert at blending into Iranian
society, forming a cellular organizational structure which made it virtually
impossible to eradicate. The MEK membership also became adept at gaining
access to positions of sensitivity and authority. When the Shah was
overthrown in 1978, the MEK played a major role and for a while worked hand
in glove with the Islamic Revolution in crafting a post-Shah Iran. In 1979
the MEK had a central role in orchestrating the seizure of the U.S. Embassy
in Tehran, and holding 55 Americans hostage for 444 days.

However, relations between the MEK and the Islamic regime in Tehran soured,
and after the MEK staged a bloody coup attempt in 1981, all ties were
severed and the two sides engaged in a violent civil war. Revolutionary
Guard members who were active at that time have acknowledged how difficult
it was to fight the MEK. In the end, massive acts of arbitrary arrest,
torture and executions were required to break the back of mainstream MEK
activity in Iran, although even the Revolutionary Guard today admits the MEK
remains active and is virtually impossible to completely eradicate.

It is this stubborn ability to survive and operate inside Iran, at a time
when no other intelligence service can establish and maintain a meaningful
agent network there, which makes the MEK such an asset to nations such as
the United States and Israel. The MEK is able to provide some useful
intelligence; however, its overall value as an intelligence resource is
negatively impacted by the fact that it is the sole source of human
intelligence in Iran. As such, the group has taken to exaggerating and
fabricating reports to serve its own political agenda. In this way, there is
little to differentiate the MEK from another Middle Eastern expatriate
opposition group, the Iraqi National Congress, or INC, which infamously
supplied inaccurate intelligence to the United States and other governments
and helped influence the U.S. decision to invade Iraq and overthrow Saddam
Hussein. Today, the MEK sees itself in a similar role, providing sole-
sourced intelligence to the United States and Israel in an effort to
facilitate American military operations against Iran and, eventually, to
overthrow the Islamic regime in Tehran.

The current situation concerning the MEK would be laughable if it were not
for the violent reality of that organization's activities. Upon its arrival
in Iraq in 1986, the group was placed under the control of Saddam Hussein's
Mukhabarat, or intelligence service. The MEK was a heavily militarized
organization and in 1988 participated in division-size military operations
against Iran. The organization represents no state and can be found on the
U.S. State Department's list of terrorist organizations, yet since the U.S.
invasion of Iraq in 2003, the MEK has been under the protection of the U.S.
military. Its fighters are even given "protected status" under the Geneva
Conventions. The MEK says its members in Iraq are refugees, not terrorists.
And yet one would be hard-pressed to find why the 1951 Geneva Convention on
Refugees should confer refugee status on an active paramilitary organization
that uses "refugee camps" inside Iraq as its bases.

It almost appears that the Bilderberg group has set up a war between the U.S. and Iran and both countries are obeying their corporate master's bidding.
