Jack Wakeland (TIA Daily) reported a story that Pamela Geller at atlasshrugs2000 picked up on Wednesday, 10/21/2009. Apparently David Ignatius, Washington Post reported that Uranium being mined in Iran was contaminated by fluoride and thus could only be used for "civilian" purposes. In order to use Uranium for a nuclear bomb, the purity level would have to be at least at 19.75% (war grade), whereas now it is only 3.5%.

During "bilateral consultations involving Iran, France, Russia and the United States and he believed a deal was still attainable" with proceedings in Geneva (10/20/2009) being presided over by International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei, who is quoted as saying that "'Israel is the number one threat to the Middle East given the nuclear arms it possesses...Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has indirectly criticized ElBaradei for, in her perception, "muddying the message" to Iran and has also said "the IAEA is not in the business of diplomacy. The IAEA is a technical agency that has a board of governors of which the United States is a member."

So, what was arranged, and agreed to, by the Obama Administration, without much thought, was allowing Iran to ship its impure Uranium to Russia, which has the technology to purify, supposedly for the purpose of that Uranium being "converted into fuel rods to replenish dwindling fuel stocks of a Tehran reactor that makes radio-isotopes for cancer care." This was a plan devised by the United States, approved by U.S. National Security Council spokesman Mike Hammer, because Iran would ship out its Uranium, supposedly reducing the immediate threat of a nuclear reactor. However, Iran expressed some reservations, according to WTOP writer Julie Pace, and the Obama Administration became irked at the delay. However, what the US neglected to realize was "it (the deal to have LEU purified) will get them metallic fuel that can be converted back to highly purified uranium hexafluoride gas very, very easily"  "One of the most popular methods of enriching uranium is a gas centrifuge, where the uranium in the ore is converted into uranium hexafluoride gas and rapidly spun, forcing the heavier U-238 gas to the extremities for separation, according to Cosmos magazine .This can be used for military purposes.

"The powers wanted this to be 75 percent of its declared stockpile (low-enriched Uranium LEU), and to be shipped abroad in one consignment before the end of the year...LEU is used as fuel for nuclear reactors, while a nuclear bomb requires highly enriched uranium." Basically, Iran made a tentative agreement to these negotiations, in order to avoid tough sanctions.

In spite of a 2006 UN Security Council Resolution condemning iran's nuclear program, Iran maintains its right to develop nuclear energy. One other thing that is hardly mentioned is the close tie between iran and Venezuela, which has copious uranium deposits.

One other item is that Iran has sent at least 12,000 military advisers to Venezuela, where they are believed to be helping with nuclear technology. Of course, all of Eastern & Central United States would be in the range of a Nuclear Attack from Venezuela. From Rantburg.com, we learn that "Iranian sources said President Barack Obama has proposed the sale of up to $2.5 billion worth of U.S. aircraft and spare parts to Iran. The sources said the proposed sale would rescue Iran's civilian aerospace industry and ensure passenger safety. (after Ahmadinejad's election!!!)

And, what do we get? A Beer Summit.
