Various wire services:
Iran has successfully enriched uranium for the first time, a landmark in its quest to develop nuclear fuel, hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday. He insisted, however, that his country does not aim to develop nuclear weapons.
In a nationally televised speech, Ahmadinejad called on the West "not to cause an everlasting hatred in the hearts of Iranians" by trying to force Iran to abandon uranium enrichment.
"At this historic moment, with the blessings of God almighty and the efforts made by our scientists, I declare here that the laboratory- scale nuclear fuel cycle has been completed and young scientists produced enriched uranium needed to the degree for nuclear power plants Sunday," Ahmadinejad said.
"I formally declare that Iran has joined the club of nuclear countries," he told an audience that included top military commanders and clerics in the northwestern holy city of Mashhad. The crowd broke into cheers of "Allahu akbar!" or "God is great!" Some stood and thrust their fists in the air."
Yea, right.

If you walk into a bank and stick your hand into your pocket and shout that you have a gun and this is a robbery the guard can legally shoot you through the head.
Even if all you have in your pocket is your hand.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck and its duck season. . .
Unless it's NY or some other dirty place. Under those circumstances, so very many predicates to intitate lethal force must be followed as to render an immediate response almost impossible. This is not to say you are incorrect. What it does say, is that the Loons have all but convinced the silent majority that not only is a smoking gun necessary, but a still warm corpse would be even better least we "jump to conclusions". There's reality, and the distorted mirror that liberals gaze into. Bush himself has the cajones to do what needs to be done with Iran, but his own party would turn on him in a nanosecond if it meant losing a vote.
All signs point to the Republican Party imploding over the issue of illegal immigration. Bush may as well do the right thing while a grownup is still in charge.
