WAKE UP AND PAY ATTENTION!

WorldNetDaily: 'Atomic Iran' warnings prove accurate:

"...the current buzz surrounding Iran's nuclear ambitions 'is not alarmist fear-mongering.' And the proof comes straight from the mouth of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In recent months, Ahmadinejad made headlines for claiming the Holocaust was a 'myth,' and by announcing: 'We don't shy away from declaring that Islam is ready to rule the world.'

Nuclear capabilities and a radical desire to rule the world do not mix. In October, Ahmadinejad declared his desire for Israel to be 'wiped out from the map of the world.' The remarks were not a flippant off-the-cuff comment. The hard-line Iranian president was speaking before 'The World Without Zionism' conference. Following his speech, 3,000 students in attendance began chanting 'Death to Israel!' and 'Death to America!'

As if the conference's harsh rhetoric were not enough, Iran has recently promised immediate retaliation if Tehran is referred to the U.N. Security Council. Manouchehr Mottaki, Iran's foreign minister, told the Guardian that any military action by the U.S. or Israel against Iran would have 'severe consequences' and would be countered 'by all means' at Iran's disposal.

Wednesday, Britain, France and Germany, along with U.S. support, submitted a draft resolution asking the International Atomic Energy Agency to refer Iran to the U.N. Security Council. As a result, all members of the Security Council agreed not to take action or impose sanctions until the IAEA presents its report regarding Iran's nuclear program in early March.

Yesterday, the IAEI Board of Governors began its two-day emergency session after "reaching an impasse in negotiations with Iran when the Islamic state announced last month that it had broken IAEA sales on its nuclear facilities," according to CNN. A vote on the EU3's draft resolution is expected to take place today. Meanwhile, U.S. National Intelligence Director John Negroponte told Congress yesterday that while Iran probably does not have nuclear weapons or the material necessary to produce them, they remain a matter of "highest concern."

Niiiice.
