President Obama, joined by French President Sarkozy and British Prime Minister Brown, speak to the press on an Iranian nuclear activities during the G20 Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. September 25, 2009.
Transcript:
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good morning. We are here to announce that yesterday in Vienna, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France presented detailed evidence to the IAEA demonstrating that the Islamic Republic of Iran has been building a covert uranium enrichment facility near Qom for several years.
Earlier this week, the Iranian government presented a letter to the IAEA that made reference to a new enrichment facility, years after they had started its construction. The existence of this facility underscores Iran's continuing unwillingness to meet its obligations under U.N. Security Council resolutions and IAEA requirements. We expect the IAEA to immediately investigate this disturbing information, and to report to the IAEA Board of Governors.
Now, Iran's decision to build yet another nuclear facility without notifying the IAEA represents a direct challenge to the basic compact at the center of the non-proliferation regime. These rules are clear: All nations have the right to peaceful nuclear energy; those nations with nuclear weapons must move towards disarmament; those nations without nuclear weapons must forsake them. That compact has largely held for decades, keeping the world far safer and more secure. And that compact depends on all nations living up to their responsibilities.
This site deepens a growing concern that Iran is refusing to live up to those international responsibilities, including specifically revealing all nuclear-related activities. As the international community knows, this is not the first time that Iran has concealed information about its nuclear program. Iran has a right to peaceful nuclear power that meets the energy needs of its people. But the size and configuration of this facility is inconsistent with a peaceful program. Iran is breaking rules ...
Stop talking about peace when you are ordering the missile bombardment of villages in Afghanistan to get 2 so called Taliban. Back in the day with the Russian invasion these so called Taliban were called Mujahidin. and America supported them. Funny isn't it.

you mean we should invade Canada or something? Are you joking? Or just an anti-Semite? They aren't mutally exclusive but RubeTube is one-channel.
You are incapable of imagining that people may do things for different reasons (that's called 'lack of adaptive reasoning skills') & are comforted by the repetition of repetition in lieu of observational skills. Life must be one long bitter-fest for you. It will kill you, inside out.
